#the committee reads

[exeggcute]

btw did you guys see how the hannah arendt prize committee tried to revoke masha gessen's prize after gessen, a jewish journalist, wrote an essay about how zionists and zionist-sympathizing gentiles, particularly in germany, wield accusations of antisemitism to shut down anti-zionist jews... an essay in which they specifically quoted hannah arendt several times

#I think the committee relented and gave them the award after all but still... irony doesn't even seem like the right word for it... #the essay was good too but even when I was reading it was like masha baby you could've pushed the envelope a little farther. if you wanted. #and then the backlash happened and I was like jk I guess they pushed that fucking envelope alright!

I don’t think An gets enough credit for being like… such a casually nice & kind person without even trying. To the point where even I can tell and I’m not a VBS fan (behind on stories) bc it just bleeds through in every interaction she has with other characters. Like it’s never her being Absurdly Over The Top Kind she just. Treats everyone equally. Friendly with everyone. Thinking abt her being the first one @ school to attempt to befriend Mizuki and treat them like a person. Nene being nervous on her first day of second year and An just immediately walks up to her like Hiiii good morning!! An Shiraishi: Lesbian Jesus.

#project sekai #despite being fond of akito I still didn’t read the vbs stories but I might go read them for an specifically #because I like her :) an my friend an. #also very nice and friendly to rui (&tsukasa) despite rui (& tsukasa) making her job on disciplinary committee like 1000x harder #she reminds me a lot of one of my close friends in highschool (minus the lesbian part) #in that she’s like. ‘popular’ but doesn’t care abt it & talks to anyone and everyone #like u know the highschool girls who r like. obsessed w being popular and only talk to ppl they feel make them look cool? opposite of that. #i feel like an is the type of person to see sm1 sitting alone at school and go I need to be their friend #‘tsukasa collects strays’ no that’s an.

There's a scene in the first season of Babylon Berlin where a characters reads a lecture on psychoanalysis and PTSD (the series are set sometime between the two world wars) and the audience boos him.

"Brain is an organ, not a poetry book," they say.

For me it put into perspective how important was what Freud did. Considering the setting he had to work in, the setting he had to overcome in his own mind first, we really don't value the guy enough.

Not like I didn't *know* it, but it helped immensely to see it in context.

He was the first who said that humans have an inner life that's neither sacred nor purely physical. That it's governed by its own predictable rules and breaks in predictable ways, and that it can be mended through talking. Not being electrocuted or medicated out of the patient.

Just how awesome is that. Just how much inner work that required in his times.

#one thing that gets me when I try to read him #is his stance on ethics in therapy #he wrote about how tempting the position of being an expert on living was for the analyst #how it should be avoided not only in outward actions #but even as a passing thought #because the analysant will feel it if it's there #and it will stop them from moving where they really need to be #I see very few modern therapists who truly avoid that position #or truly understand the gravity of it #also unlike jung the guy never slept with his patients #ethical committees weren't even around at that time #no one would have stopped him #and yet he didn't #his ideas may be outdated #but we seriously underestimate freud as a person and as a scientist

aroace ton would make so much sense "Ha ha i just want to be friends with everyone bc i cannot imagine any different bond with other person that would be as strong as friendship is : D" "Ha ha what do you mean dating isn't just doing fun activities like you would do with a friend : D ?"

also i need that representation

#23.5 #23.5 degrees #i believe in this series #<- will most probably get disappointed #no one in school committee can be straight/not queer #that's one of the rules actually #his himbo energy and goofy smile captivated me #that would make sense that the girl he had the longest relationship with wasn't really romantically interested in him #so it was fun and chill to hang out with #this series gave us pretty diverse range of characters so far so it's not impossible #and even if it won't be confirmed in series i just hope they won't do anything to deny it #so at least his character could be read as on aroace spectrum

one thing about the french revolution is there will be a committee

Guys guys guys good news I had another horrible thought !

So you know how the Institution (comic ver.) goes around plucking homeless orphan babies off the streets so that their child soldiers will feel a sense of debt and loyalty? (I gotta give credit to @mer1099 for informing me of that I never ventured to wonder where the orphans came from lmfao) And we know our Ambrosius was one of said orphan street babies who got plucked up.

Well as far as I'm aware, it's never specified who exactly is plucking these kids off the street. I doubt the director has the time for that, I also doubt that they have a team of people whose sole job that is. I imagine it's just a situation where if anyone who works for the Institution finds one, they just are supposed to bring it back. Since they're police, they'd probably be the ones finding street kids anyway.

So regarding all that: Do you think Ambrosius ever found one? More than one, even?

Do you think he ever was wandering around, on or off duty, and found some dirty scruffy child eating trash and hiding in an alleyway? Do you think he felt a deep sense of unease as it reminded him of memories he'd long ago walled off? Do you think he approached the child with a big smile on his face, and said "You don't have to be scared of me. I'm the guy from the statue!" and promised to take them someplace safe before bringing them to the Institution orphanage and feeling proud of himself that he did a good thing?

Maybe he watched them grow up and become a knight, or maybe they were still little when everything fell apart. Maybe he brought back many little kids. Maybe he felt like he had a responsibility to go out looking for them, to save them.

Do you think, after everything fell apart and the Institution was dissolved, that he laid awake at night thinking about them, wondering if he really had done the right thing?

#I read an old fanfic where they were trying to put him on a committee of some kind and he noped tf out but used his influence to #set up a committee to take care of the displaced children from the Institution's orphanage after it dissolved #and I thought that was so cute #nimona #ambrosius goldenloin #nimona graphic novel #yywihh comic hcs

Hey, so it turns out that not only did James and Lucretia Garfield finally fall in love with each other after years of marriage, but we have proof of it in one of the sweetest love letters I've ever read.

*

Willard's, Nov 24, 1867

My Precious Darling,

It is nearly ten o'clock Sunday night, and I will not lie down to sleep till I have told you again that I love you. Surely, "love is the fulfilling of the law," and the law of our love is liberty. We no longer love because we ought to, but because we do--the Tyranny of our love is sweet. We waited long for his coming, but he has come to stay. I hope wish, my dear love, that God would let us die together when we die, that neither of us might be left in the empty world for a single hour. It would be unkind of me, to tell you, if I could, how lonely and lost I am without you. Part of the machinery of my life seems to be gone, and I wander around unconsciously as if in search of it, that I may set nature at work again.

Your precious words of the 21st came to me this morning--and fell down into my heart like benedictions. Did you know how unutterably sweet it is to be praised by you? The words you wrote have lifted me and made me proud and happy all day. How sweet the privilege I have had, this summer! The alchemist sought to transmute other substances into gold--I have done far better. I have been able to transmute gold into esthetic joys, intellectual growth, heart life--and better than all--have been permitted to see it transformed into sweet and beautiful decorations of the noblest and truest woman I ever saw--and she as glad to be mine as I to be hers. This surpasses alchemy. It is divine. It is a new proof of the truth that "God is love."

Well Darling, I have done nothing of worth except to hunt houses and read. I am satisfied that the price of the house I wrote you of is too great and we ought not to pay it. I hope I can do better. I am thinking of buying a house on time and hope to sell it again when we are done with it. If we had done so, four years ago, we should have owned it now. I am anxious to receive your answer to my letter of Thursday--It may help me to a decision.

[political paragraph cut for irrelevance]

Dear Love, do write me very often. Kiss the sweet [???] and tell them Papa loves them all.

Ever Your ownest own James

#history is awesome #presidential talk #hey question: how come guys don't write like this anymore? #men gotta up their game to keep up with the love letters of the nineteenth century #there are a few words here that might be wrong because his handwriting's not great #gotta say jimbo your handwriting was much better in your youth #like i much appreciate the personal development keep it up #but your writing was a lot nicer looking when you were a young buck trying to impress a girl with your mad penmanship skills #if you were wondering the political paragraph is about him potentially being head of the house ways and means committee #and they're coming up on johnson's impeachment proceedings #i could have and probably should have cut the paragraph about house hunting #but i was so amused by the turn from flowery love letter to #'well darling i have done nothing of worth except to hunt houses and read' #i feel like it grounds the declaration of love in the mundane moments of everyday life and makes it seem more real

Some Lokeans are some of the rudest, most defensive fucking people that need to understand the power of logging off 💀

(SOME. Not ALL.)

#literally I've come up and said things trying to contribute to conversations constructively #and they will read it as an attack (cause they loooove being under attack) and bite my fucking head off #over shit that does. not. matter. #had one flip out at me for coming up with gender neutral deity terms #had another flip out at me for saying 'it's healthy to block bullies' #oh and the person who flipped out at me over the gender neutral thing #is/was helped run the lokean welcoming committee blog. that blog is not as full of helpful people as you think 🙄 #same lokean welcoming committee person had it out for another pagan I knew and constantly chewed them out over everything #I will never join online pagan groups ever again tbh they are chalk full of people who want to be a victim so they can lash out

something something when the good place said nobody is coming to save us and turned it into something hopeful and when chidi anagonye, forever institutionalist became the guy who helped burn the system down to build something better in its place something something

#also when all the janets (aka a class of perma-workers) all read a manifesto then form a group chat and refuse to obey anymore #it’s so GOOD like they aren’t subtle here. they named the leader of the good place committee chuck #the good place nails the leftist landing gdi

Actually Zhao Lusi would be my second pick for Fanny in an Asian Mansfield Park. My first is now Shin Eun Soo because well,, her portrayal of Cheong-ah in Twinkling Watermelon practically was Fanny already, and she was so good. Put her in a book-accurate adaptation with an accurate characterization of Fanny and people may actually start to value book!Fanny

#love how I’m saying this as if asian mansfield park was something we’d ever get anyway ahahhh… 🥲 #I swear next time I read MP I’ll just be picturing the whole TW cast in the roles #need eun soo and hyun wook and ryeoun in another drama together RIGHT NOW right now #and in ah who has miss crawford vibes if I’m being honesttt #mansfield park adaptation committee #shin eun soo #fanny price #mansfield park #austen x kdrama #elly's posts

Netanyahus own party, Likud, is against him. The public is calling for his resignation. Two of his ministers plan to resign according to israeli news and I really hope that is true

#i knew this of the public but the infighting netanyahu is facing is quite the news to hear #and ben gvir angry he is not part of this top war committee is so funny #i would go on haaretz but like paywall #i mean the last screenshot is haaretz and thats the greatest title ive ever read

Romance authors didn't have a bunch of teens and twenty somethings who aren't even your demographic screeching at them about how bad and harmful their work was pre-internet.

#Women of a certain age know what they're reading let 'em live. #I'd rather kill your books written by a committee of people who can't write but whatever.
