New query cycle means new aesthetics: THE UNBREAKING OF HANNAH COLE
“I don’t really know how to slow dance.” What’s another embarrassing confession between us now?
“It’s easy,” Cass says. “Put your left hand on my shoulder.”
I do. Her skin is warm and soft beneath my fingers.

incredible scenes
nothing like a university named after a slaveowner hanging a cartoonishly large american flag to intimidate students protesting a US-funded genocide. absolute loser shit, shame on you @GWtweets
After ages of being told “oh, you should read Dune since you like Tolkien” I finally have.
Jesus Christ. I love the world building and I can handle the dense prose, but Jesus Christ, is there even a momentary reprieve from the grimness?

Naomi Wolf has evolved into her final form, a seminarian with six weeks of Greek who thinks the entire New Testament has been translated wrong.
Hi all -- so. I skipped ahead to the New Testament, with a Koine Greek - English side-by-side literal translation, and what am I to do -- so much of the NT has been mistranslated, or, shall I say, creatively translated, in addition to the OT having often been mistranslated. Is it offensive if I analyze this fact when we get to the NT? The creative translations or outright mistranslations of the NT often write out what was familiar language of a radical/reforming Jewish teacher/Redeemer of Israel, and heighten or present other language that introduces or showcases the idea of the establishment of a new (Hellenistic-oriented) religion. As in later translations of the OT, there is often distance introduced in later translations of the NT between "the Sons of God" (that is, humans) and God, that is not there in the original. I think this set of insights is important but I do fear offending people.
Lonely, isolated, anxious about the future. But glad to have a word for it other than “broken” — Though 10+ years later it still feels that way most of the time.

It feels like all of Margo’s problems in Season 4 could have been fixed with a fifteen minute conversation with one of her former coworkers back in 1995 … you know, the one with the power to grant pardons and reprieves.

Grey’s Anatomy is actually one of the best existential horror artworks ever made. It chronicles the 20 year desperation of a single woman - Miranda Bailey - to get her coworkers to stop fucking and killing themselves for long enough to save anyone’s life. She never wins.
