people who think the count of monte cristo is just a straightforward tale of a dude escaping a prison and revenging himself miss out on quality subplots like "the count is foiled by the power of lesbianism," "the case of the serial domestic poisoner" and "let's talk shit about italian food"

watching a 1978 clip of the Village People miming "YMCA" from 1992's American Bandstand 40th Special and scratching my head at how a song about same sex hookups at a hostel somehow leapfrogged Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" to become America's "Horst-Wessel Leid"

Old ruin viewed through a glass frame with the original outlines of the building etched onto the glass

An interesting way to help people visualize what a ruin used to be.

Sometimes I look at the art on my walls and think about how the idea of art may be older than the idea of walls.

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.

(Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

What else is like putting salt on top of chocolate chip cookies where at first you don’t think it makes any sense but then it’s VERY FUCKING GOOD?
