I just know Theodore Roosevelt was an absolute #throatgoat
ugh, okay, unfollowing. i had no clue he chopped down the entire forest and drove out all its wildlife and caused near ireversible damage to the worlds ecosystems just to make some fuzzy shapeless “thneed”
Hmmph fine then!

me teaching my students about the number six in latin: okay guys. so here's the thing. yes, the word for six in latin is sex and that's funny, and we're gonna laugh about it for 30 seconds, but then we're gonna move on, okay? we're not gonna keep laughing about it. we can be mature about this.
also me every day of my life: haha six pine trees is sex pinus
thinking about how in why we build the wall from hadestown, the workers under influence, or rather as extensions of hades, one hive mind lost of individuality, sing about how the wall that they’re building keeps out the enemy (poverty) because the enemy is after their work.
“The enemy is poverty, and the wall keeps out the enemy.”
the work in question however, is the building of the wall.
“What do we have that they should want? We have a wall to work upon. We have work and they have none.”
now, hades says it himself:
“And our work is never done, my children, my children.”
and that’s what capitalism does, or rather, is. it’s a vicious cycle that relies on the fear of poverty, poverty created by capitalism itself, to keep functioning. it thrives on exclusion and fear mongering. and that’s why, in hadestown, what sets the riot in motion is love, expressed through song. if capitalism blooms when watered by hatred of anything other, anything that is not created by capitalism itself, then it is beyond important to keep the parts of ourselves and our communities that have not been touched by that hatred, such as love or music or art or writing or speech or alive. by doing that in the world we live in now, we keep hope alive of the world we dream about.
I once saw a youtube comment wish that Doubt Comes In didn’t include Eurydice’s part so that we could experience the trial from Orpheus’ perspective and feel the same doubt of whether she’s actually following him. I thought about this for a bit and would like to appreciate that Hadestown doesn’t go down this route. All things considered, Eurydice is the true main character of Hadestown: she gets the dramatic final introduction in the opener, Any Way The Wind Blows is very much a traditional protagonist “I Want” song, and Act 1 closely follows her changing perspective of Orpheus whilst he just kinda stays static throughout. Although Act 2 sorta forgets about this set-up and leans more towards Orpheus as the story’s hero, she still gets an upward journey from a jaded woman bitter towards the lonely world into an intensely passionate optimist who would walk with her lover to the end of time. It would be a disgrace for her voice to be taken away at the very end of the story, as the suspense comes not from dreading that Orpheus’ doubts may actually come true, but from hoping that Eurydice’s renewed faith and assured attempts at comforting her broken lover will be enough to save her.
I really think that we need to be at peace with the idea of people posting online for attention. Literally every free piece of media from shitposts to art is being made for the very human need for attention and that's healthy and okay. It's not harmful behaviour to make funnyman shitposts for attention. I love my useless internet clout points actually
“Cause here’s the thing. To know how it ends, and still to begin to sing it again. As if it might turn out this time. I learned that from a friend of mine.”

Why does heat miser look like Richard Nixon?
I think “Daily Jekyll and Hyde” as redundant as it may be plotwise - is a hilarious concept. Imagine Utterson sending you emails like “My good friend Dr.Jekyll seems very nervous lately. I hope he doesn’t get blackmailed by that horrible Hyde chap we met the other day. Why would he associate with such a scoundrel!” And it goes like that with increasingly obvious hints up until he breaks into his study with Poole and the last part is just a Dr.Jekyll youtuber apology
Y’all I could go for some Mac and YEET

@chaotic-hypnotic-erotic how did Hohenzollern and Hanover vote?
Fever is a hilarious immune response. Our bodies tell the disease “hey, wanna see which one of us dies of overheating first? No? Too bad.” and honestly they’re not even the winners a decent chunk of the time but it works often enough that we never evolved it away or anything. Fantastic work.
