The true value of myths are that they transcend time and place and that by not locking them to any one time and place you can be excellent to each other and party on, dudes!

A funny thing that happened to me watching Hadestown was, one of the things I generally dislike about contemporary Broadway is how descriptive and blunt lyrics are—characters singing very plainly about what they're doing/seeing/feeling. Why don't I mind that anymore? Well... opera.

I thought I'd watch The Odyssey once it hits streaming just so I could form my own critique of it, but I frankly don't want to see it at all, ever, because I've been once again reminded of how completely insufferable and weirdly cultish Christopher Nolan fans are. You can't criticize the Great Man!

So as a general rule I don't enjoy contemporary Broadway musicals. It's a very specific set of aesthetics that I just don't truck with despite loving classic musicals and opera. Hadestown solved 99% of those dislikes while still being Broadway. A truly unique and wonderful show. 🧵

One more screen picked it up, so now I can go see the only Greek myth adaptation I'm interested in seeing in theaters this summer! (It was previously only on one screen in a small auditorium for the entire city of 1m+ and all ten showings were sold out 😐)

I've returned to Tumblr for the first time in over a decade, and on my first day back the algorithm has recommended to me a blog that's mostly sexy gifs and NSFW fanfic of Horatio Hornblower. You know what, I'm not much of a fanfic reader, but I'm following anyway for the sexy Hornblower gifs.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but today I Iearned about the existence of Hot Wheels Weinermobiles and they are *everything*. There is even, for reasons inscrutable to us mere mortals, a monster truck Hot Wheels Weinermobile.

Okay this has been bugging me for a while and search engines are falling me. Help? Which episode of The Venture Bros is the one that opens with the henchmen doing daily stuff and then getting summoned for duty, and as they get geared up they start singing "Mars, Bringer of War" from The Planets?

Everybirdy say hi to the new juvenile downy woodpecker who's found my feeder! She is so brave she doesn't even fly away when big scary pigeons come flapping in. This is her yard now. 🪶
