in honor of anne carson i’m reposting the page from her antigone translation that had me pissing myself laughing. if you’re looking for an accessible place to dive into carson’s work, antigone is a great place to start!

people saying anne carson’s writing “sounds like tumblr prose” obviously haven’t read anne carson but more importantly, clearly weren’t on tumblr

At one point last year I was like, did I just make up Anne Carson being nonbinary, because I clearly remember her saying that, but Google brought up nothing. I just tried again and this blog post has SOURCES. (Definitely more than just "hinting at" fwiw) the-niche.blog/2017/02/21/t...

I realize this is sacrilege to some people but: there are so many other authors out there whose work could/should be adapted for the screen before one more fucking Stephen King adaptation gets greenlit.

the crazy thing about making time for any creative pursuit is that you literally have to do what you have a gut-deep yearning to do or else you'll see other people doing it, and it WILL make you insane.

Turning Point USA media are embedded with Border Patrol to cover the eviction of the camp defending the final old-growth trees where Trump aims to build a border wall desecrating the landscape. TPUSA are state-sponsored fascist propaganda. Exactly the same as state media in any other autocracy.

unexpectedly emotional visiting the graves of jrr tolkien and his wife. people had left all sorts of notes at the gravesite — one from a 7 year old polish boy whose family just immigrated to the uk and who wants to be a writer when he grows up. sasza, i look forward to reading your books one day.

there's clearly no point in scolding most people for their indifference to anti-trans bigotry. the refusal to leave Harry Potter behind, the hemming and hawing about the NYT's puzzles. people won't even put down their toys for us. I cannot express the white-hot frustration boiling in my stomach.

I can say from observation, a whole lot of actual Jewish folks are incredibly pissed about Zionists, many of them actually Christians, claiming Israel & genocide are supposed to represent them when they want nothing to do with it & it has zero to do with how they think of themselves as Jewish.
