Five clay dogs buried under a palace doorway at Nineveh around 645 BC. Each one has its name written on its side in cuneiform. Expeller of evil. Catcher of the enemy. Biter of his foe. Loud is his bark. Don't think, bite. That last one is an instruction, written on the dog, addressed to the dog.

I'm always impressed by these threads (this one in particular is fantastic) because I struggle to have one solid opinion per week.

66 We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges. When soldiers take their oath they are given a coin, an asimi stamped with the profile of the Autarch. Their acceptance of that coin is their acceptance of the special duties and burdens of military life-they are soldiers from that moment, though they may know nothing of the management of arms. I did not know that then, but it is a profound mistake to believe that we must know of such things to be influenced by them, and in fact to believe so is to believe in the most debased and superstitious kind of magic. The would-be sorcerer alone has faith in the efficacy of pure knowledge; rational people know that things act of themselves or not at all.

pitching my comic idea to DC: aquaman's new archnemesis is called Man Ray. no, not a half human half manta ray monster. Man Ray, the surrealist painter and photographer. he just challenges aquaman's preconceptions about formalism

I’m not a guy who often likes to be like “they used to make movies!” because we should be looking forward and figuring out new paths. However, there was a small spate of studio pictures that looked so jagged and incongruous and it’s the last time image making felt truly daring

Sufjan Stevens Is Doing Okay 

He lost his partner and then he got sick. But he’s staying optimistic.

By Craig JenkinsQ: There’s a certain subset of song you write that, depending on a listener’s perspective, can scan as either deeply religious or potentially quite sensual. This is a thread in “John My Beloved” and “To Be Alone With You” and “Javelin (to Have and to Hold).” What inspires that train of thought?

Sufjan: The religious is very sexual. It’s erotic. Look at Catholic art through the ages, Baroque art. It’s all very fleshy and sensual and full of naked bodies. I’ve always embraced that. I’ve always felt that my relationship to God is a very intimate and sensual one. Sacraments are. It’s engaging with God in a physical way. You’re literally eating the flesh and drinking the blood of God during the Eucharist. It doesn’t get much more erotic than that. If you’re a vampire, that’s the ultimate erotic experience.

Q: Most people who lurk the texts don’t luxuriate in the closeness of Jonathan and David.

Sufjan: The Bible’s very gay. Just all men. That’s what you get when there’s a patriarchy that’s endured for so long. Jesus was single, never married; Disciples were all dudes …The Oppenheimer scene where Gen Leslie Groves (Matt Damon) says "Why? How about because this is the most important thing to ever happen in the history of the world!"

People will always say they’re your friend and they support you no matter what but then they’ll say some toxic shit to you like “you have to let go of the cursed amulet, it’s changing who you are” and “don’t let its power corrupt you” all because they want the amulet for themselves

screenshot from Princess Mononoke of young man/prince Ashitaka sitting down, seen in profile, wearing blue - looking at Jigo, who's rummaging around in a basket and cooking something over a fire. caption reads "These days, there are angry ghosts all around us," 
Jigo continues, "dead from wars, sickness, starvation."Jig's now stirring what he's cooking in the pot and saying, "So you say you're under a curse?" Jigo finishes, "So what? So's the whole damn world."

At work today I met this mayor who is strong. Like, stupidly strong. Able to lift up a whole wooden cart that was trapping a man by himself. Weird. Only other person I know that strong was this convict who has been on the run for ten years….. Eh. Probably nothing. We just caught that guy lol

Apropos of absolutely nothing, a good holiday watch this year would be the Station Eleven miniseries (on Max in the States). Moving and surprisingly life-affirming, I promise it’s not just about a deadly pandemic.

Stuck on a writing project? Here's what I always ask myself in that situation: Emily, have you considered that you might not be very good and should abandon writing altogether and move to the woods and make candles or possibly become a nun or something?
