hello! water anon again here (here’s a little dagger for today’s special occasion 🗡)
oh…(!)…the interpretation of not allowing someone to leave even after they die….that too…..ashfhfjfkdl…..
And on the Pantheon! I can’t believe I just discovered this today:
“Among Agrippa's many building projects, by contrast, there are no temples, apart from one special case, the Pantheon, intended for the ruler cult.” (The Power of Images in the Age of Augustus, Paul Zanker)
…On one hand, there’s probably the practical element of allocating temple-building duties to Augustus for political image-making purposes (my guess). But on the other hand. What a special dedication……
Thank you for the Pliny paper! It’s pretty hilarious (and …endearing? Because, to a certain extent, same.) to see how Pliny tries to justify Agrippa’s errors in measurements …. “Agrippa is not actually wrong because nobody knows for sure.” Hghgnvjfkflf.
In return, here’s a paper that I stayed up till 4+am to finish reading — “The Afterlives of Agrippa and Maecenas” (by Alex Grigor) [https://researchspace.auckland.ac.nz/handle/2292/61857] It has a pretty good overview of several ancient authors’ portrayals of the two of them, as well as the views of several more prominent modern authors (e.g. Syme), and also how they’re depicted in several pieces of media (e.g. HBO Rome)!
And lastly, for a little bit of randomness, here’s a channel who does songs about ancient Romans in rap (and in Italian), here’s the one on Agrippa (https://youtu.be/El1bKu_Qj9g?si=KDe2h9k_C7rKGxds) (Channel name: Classic Sheee) (The lyrics are also available on Genius, and are pretty understandable after auto-translate if you don’t speak Italian!)
HI ANON SORRY ITS BEEN SO LONG FJVKVKBH. HAPPY (VERY BELATED) IDES OF MARCH YIPPEE!!!! thank you so much for the paper recommendation it looks so interesting! will be reading when as soon as possible. speaking of syme- started reading the roman revolution recently and his description of him as The Robust Agrippa has been bouncing around my very empty brain since then
that rap was. an experience. beautiful. 10/10.
don't have anything particularly academic to offer in return but !! i have just recently finished the october horse and. augh. you've likely already read it but if you havent my goddd it is weird and silly on occasion i recommend!
#also been reading the busts + statues section in lindsay powell's biography of him and having a bit of a giggle#asks#agrippa

Miranda Richardson... back in the day when Shax was tempting Kate Bush... lol
Kate made a film back in 1993, kind of based on the Powell and Pressburger film The Red Shoes.... to go with her album called The Red Shoes.
Miranda (/Shax) with The Line.
Poster for P&P film...above
Miranda in The Line , the cross and the Curve... below.
As Shax.....still wearing the black and red.
youtube
Here is the film....
It's not Kates greatest video in my opinion, but nice to have as my friend and Mentor Lindsay Kemp is in it too.... he taught both Kate and David Bowie.
The P&P film was a big deal to dancers and Lindsay was very influenced by it.
The Red Shoes influence in Good Omens in Nina's cafe....
Told you my head was full of lots of weird information I needed to download as it seems Good Omens is overtaking my brains hard drive....lol

Things Agrippa did during his year as aedile:
Repaired three aqueducts (Aqua Marcia, Aqua Appia and Aqua Vetus).
Built a fourth aqueduct (Aqua Iulia).
Repaired and cleaned the sewer system, at one point taking a boat through the Cloaca Maxima to prove it.
Repaired public streets and buildings.
Built 170 free public bathhouses, 500 fountains, 700 wells and 130 reservoirs.
Installed 300 statues and 400 columns, mostly on the fountains and wells.
Established a permanent construction crew to prevent Rome's infrastructure from falling into disrepair again.
Built public gardens and warehouses to store food.
Provided free haircuts/shaves to everyone in Rome.
Hosted public games and theater productions.
Paid for all of this with his own money.
(From Lindsay Powell's Marcus Agrippa, ch. 3)

Discharge Petition for H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Record Group 233: Records of the U.S. House of RepresentativesSeries: General Records
This item, H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, faced strong opposition in the House Rules Committee. Howard Smith, Chairman of the committee, refused to schedule hearings for the bill. Emanuel Celler, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, attempted to use this discharge petition to move the bill out of committee without holding hearings. The petition failed to gain the required majority of Congress (218 signatures), but forced Chairman Smith to schedule hearings.
88th CONGRESS. House of Representatives No. 5 Motion to Discharge a Committee from the Consideration of a RESOLUTION (State whether bill, joint resolution, or resolution) December 9, 1963 To the Clerk of the House of Representatives: Pursuant to Clause 4 of Rule XXVII (see rule on page 7), I EMANUEL CELLER (Name of Member), move to discharge to the Commitee on RULES (Committee) from the consideration of the RESOLUTION; H. Res. 574 entitled, a RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE BILL (H.

an education in malice - s. t. gibson - 3.5/5
i have,,, conflicted feelings on this book. it was good, the action was interesting, the characters were complex, the vibes were impeccable, but,,,,, idkkk.... i can't even verbalize it but there was something about this that just made it a slog to get through.
i can't help myself from comparing it to a dowry of blood, which i feel had a much cleaner execution of very similar themes. dracula felt charasmatic, he felt gravitational, he felt like a person you would give up humanity for. de lafontaine felt,,,, like a mean professor. carmilla and laura constantly wax on about how brilliant and intoxicating she is, but i never felt that. s.t. gibson can write an obsessive, imbalanced, interesting relationship! they can write it very well! so i don't understand why this fell flat for me.
overall, i think this book was disjointed. it felt like a collection of vibey scenes and quotes to put on your instagram. (which, to be fair, the quotes are banger. and the vibes are so so vibes.) i liked it, but i don't know how long it'll stay on my shelf.
maneater - emily antoinette - 2.5/5
tbh i don't have much to say abt this 👍 it was an ok book 👍
hot button issue - catrina bell - 2.5/5
i liked seeing more of this world! the couple wasn't really my thing but thats more of a me issue (get it? no? ok) i do wish there was a little more roller derbying but overall this was cool.
wild is the witch - rachel griffin - dnf
cool concept but the writing style was too repetitive for my taste 👍
luxuria - colette rhodes - dnf
i didn't like this book whoopsies. i wanted to actually try fantasy romance instead dismissing the entire genre but ummm. yeah no i don't like fantasy romance. not my thing. paranormal besties please take me back ill never stray again 🙏
garron park - nordika night - 1/5
ok so. well. where do i even start with this book. extremely silly to, at 25 years of age, call someone your enemy. are you five? are you five years old? everyone certainly swears like a five year old. tiny baby writing tip: maybe keep the word fuck to, like, once a paragraph.
additionally, you can create tension without violence sometimes! if your main characters have confessed their undying love to each other, probably they can talk to eachother for four seconds! probably they don't need to punch eachother as much! probably, a change in their actions and words would show the audience how much their relationship has grown.
i also wasn't super into how many times the main characters brothers brought up how sexy they were? kind of a weird move. certainly not something i would choose to say about my own brother, nor my best friends brother! maybe thats just me though who knows
it was genuinely just edgy k-pop wattpad poverty-porn yaoi but? i did read 300 pages in one sitting so? points for that? you get 1 point for that.
rebel girls - elizabeth keenan - 2.5/5
second pro-choice book i've read this month so thats cool! guess we have a theme going. tbh i don't have much to say about this. the characters were interesting, if lacking in depth. the plot was fine, if lacking in depth. the messaging was good, if lacking in depth. i guess this book was overall, lacking in depth. i'm sure my local free little library will appreciate it. 👍
undergrounders - j. e. glass - 2.5/5
this is just the month of the perfectly average books huh? everybody's getting 2.5 stars skdisjdj.
anyways, i wanted to see if my issue with luxuria was actually its genre, or if it was the overwhelming hetero of it all. so i read a queer fantasy romance! with all of the tropes i like! and i still didn't enjoy it :(. i am glad that i tried this, but i can say with absolute certainty now that fantasy romance is not for me.
the main couple was sooooo cutes though and the side characters were sooooo cutes and the worldbuilding was v v v cool! if you like sapphic fantasy romance? absolutely reccomend this book!
the ballad of songbirds and snakes - suzanne collins - 3/5
girl this is why u reread books bcus i used to tell people that this was my favorite book ever. it is not. idk why i thought that.
ANYWAYS this was alright. i liked how easy the themes were to pick up on, the ambiguous ending, and listening to coriolanus justify his weird evil behavior. that was cool. i didn't like um lucy gray. not because she was bad, but because she felt like a non-character yk? i thought she had some pretty cool characterization in the beginning, especially surrounding her being a performer (being a parallel to coriolanus) but then she kind of fell off and just became a stock Trusting Girlfriend. which was meh. i'm excited to watch the movie, snow lands on top or whatever 👍
cultish: the language of fanaticism - amanda montell - 4/5
this was very cool to learn about and easy to digest 👍. not a full 5/5 because it was nonfiction so i wasn't obsessed with it, but definitely more engaging than most other nonfiction books I've read.
fox court - nora sakavic - 1/5
started reading this because i heard that it was like,,, bad but addictive? like full wattpad nonesense but u look up and you've finished the whole series in one sitting yk? it was,,, not that way for me. i thought it was boring, confusing, and the characters were sooo unlikable. ik this has a pretty big fandom on here please don't come for me sowwyy um. yeah
last months goal: finish a reread
WOO HOO i did it this time! gold star for me, best reader in the whole world. this was really easy, because i genuinely couldn't remember a single thing about a ballad of songbirds and snakes, so it felt like i was reading a brand new book. i also said that i wanted to carve away a more sizable chunk of my tbr this month, which i kind of did? i only read 3 physical books, but i got rid of almost an entire shelfs worth because my family was having a yard sale! so yk. vibes.
this months goal: ... finish dune
LOOK LOOOK STOP THROWING TOMATOES AT ME LOOK ok. last time this was a lofty goal filled with folly and big dreams and it was stupid. THIS TIME i literally only have 257 pages left. which is actually so reasonable. if i read 50 pages a night before bed that's only 5 days of reading. i can straight up do this one this time I PROMISE.

20 Favourite Re-watched Films of 2022
My 20 favourite films I re-watched in 2022 (in no order whatsoever):
The Bed Sitting Room | Richard Lester | 1969
Mais Ne Nous Délivrez Pas Du Mal (Don’t Deliver Us From Evil) | Joël Séria | 1971
Mayak (The Lighthouse) | Mariya Saakyan | 2006
Morvern Callar | Lynne Ramsay | 2002
Phantom of the Paradise | Brian De Palma | 1974
Attenberg | Athina Rachel Tsangari | 2010
Smashing Time | Desmond Davis | 1967
Naked | Mike Leigh | 1993
La cabina (Short) | Antonio Mercero | 1972
Secret Ceremony | Joseph Losey | 1968
I Know Where I’m Going | Michael Powell / Emeric Pressburger | 1945

Larks on a String | Jirí Menzel | 1969
A Christmas Carol (AKA Scrooge) | Brian Desmond Hurst | 1951
Some notes: If not for tne one film to one director.rule there would have been more Mike Leigh in the list, it was very hard to choose, but I think Naked was the right choice. I’m one of those people who likes to re-watch films I really enjoy quite a lot and looking back there are some films which reappear fairly often on these Top20 lists - and there are a couple this time - but that’s just the way it is!
