Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness

If there's one thing the confederates love it's getting fucking destroyed and then coming back for more.

(Actually it's white supremacy, but getting their shit repeatedly rocked is a close second)

It's actually genuinely cool how much deep and intense emotional resonance there can be with stories written hundreds of years ago, but also it's a lot of fun how goofy they can be.

back down and says "wow you just had sex with this guy right in front of me" to which the wife replies "nooooo remember this is a magical pear tree that makes you see bullshit" and the husband goes "oh shit you're right I forgot, no worries then." 10/10 medieval literature.

seeing all kinds of stuff happen down on the ground while he was up there. The husband says "but none of that happened" and the woman says "oh wow this must be a magical pear tree that makes you see bullshit! You should climb it!" The husband does. The woman and her lover have sex. Husband climbs

Miriam would like to add that she did not get to tell one of her favorite Decameron stories, which is where a married woman is having an affair, and one day goes on a picnic with her husband and her lover. They sit under a pear tree, and her lover climbs the tree, then comes down and reports

Continuing our tradition of discussing under appreciated series and trying to answer the question "why is no one talking about this?"

For SOME REASON, this felt relevant to adapt in the early 2020s. Robin, Miriam, and returning guest Ellery discuss Netflix's Decameron mini-series, along with the actual Decameron, the COVID-19 pandemic, and how we depict, and discuss disease, and what feels like the end of the world.

It's a Decameronomenon!

A deadly disease strikes, and everyone is ill-equipped to handle it; a group of young people is stuck inside trying to escape, and they feel (and act) weird about it. This is the plot of Boccaccio's 14th century story collection, set against the backdrop of the Black Death.

Guess who has the power to make it be like this every day?

The difference between the Gestapo and the US Gestapo is the universal experience of the trenches of WWI and decades of street battles with communists vs the universal experience of being mad about wearing a mask and watching some guys throw down with antifa on a Twitch stream

Counterpoint: I knew, and so did everyone else in my highschool.

Sign that says “Immigrants welcome, ICE NOT/ Free Palestine” on the front of the Astoria Food Pantry in Queens.

All of you are smart and creative enough to brainstorm without ChatGPT. You might need practice, you might need another person to bounce ideas off of (plenty of online places to do that) but you are definitely creative enough to think of ideas without this.

Looking into it! Thanks for letting us know.

One day "a Nazi who cheated at video games" is all anyone will remember about this asshole.

You may have noticed billboards for something called "PDX Crusade" popping up in recent weeks. This event is being sponsored by Athey Creek, aka Proud Boy Church, since a number of Oregon Proud Boys and their associates attend services there.

good morning

We bring an interesting perspective on preparedness to the table, as well as a consistent source of typos.

This is a real moment for "be the change you want to see."

Surround yourself with people who will take your goofy posts about campy star trek costumes and turn them into something genuinely inspiring.
