What I Like:
1. Showing Harley was in a relationship with a woman.
2. She makes use of her PhD and she is smart and not just "Joker's follower".
Started writing and then got distracted might write more later.
Finally watching Birds of Prey with my dad! (I like it so far.)
I did the math on the Kamloops residential school controversy.
The school opened in 1890 as a work camp, and the Indian day school opened in 1893.
It ran until 1969 under the Catholic Church, and until '73 under the federal govt.
So if we divide 215 victims by the 76 years it was open, we get 2.8 kids per year. I think its safe to round that up to a solid 3.
This is Canada's history. Don't forget it.
"My friends tried it, I wouldn't hear it. Watch me daily disappearing, for just one glimpse of his smile, swirled you into all of my poems, now we're at the startling line, I did my time"
Second year in a row Stray Kids has been my top top artist in my Spotify wrapped!
I've literally become obsessed with Love Between Fairy and Devil and haven't even watched an episode. đđđ
Theseus #4 (Into the Labyrinth) Illustration by me.
*NOTE:* rotate image to see different perspectives
No sooner had Theseus settled into his princely position, than King Minos of Crete, calls upon Athens for its bloody yearly debt. King Minos son had previously died in the Athenian games, and as an act of revenge, he threatened to invade Athens unless the kingdom sent seven male and seven female youths to Crete to sacrifice for his half-man, half-bull creature within his labyrinth; the Minotaur. Theseus volunteers as one of the youths, determined to stop the beast. King Aegeus tells Theseus if he survives, to switch the shipâs black sail to white upon his return, so his father will know he lives.
Arriving in Crete, King Minosâ daughter, Ariadne, falls for Theseus, and vows to help him if he will marry and bring her to Athens after defeating the beast. Theseus agrees, and Ariadne consults Daedalus, the ingenious inventor of the maze, as to its secrets. She gives Theseus the secrets, and most importantly, a ball of thread, so that he may retrace his steps. That night, Ariadne sneaks Theseus to the entrance, and he enters the dank corridors...
Ariadne is one example of smitten women assisting male Greek heroes on their quests with invaluable clues and tools. The Argonauts, arriving at Colchis to acquire the Golden fleece, were assisted by the princess Medea, who uses magic and ingenuity to help Jason succeed in his labors.
Can you think of other examples?
There are many interpretations for the symbolism of Labyrinths in myths. On the surface they show a character on a journey to discover their purpose or destiny through finding the correct path to reach their goal. Theyâre also symbolic of the stage of the heroâs journey Jospeh Campbell calls the âbelly of the whale,â where the hero commits to their metamorphosis, and thus re-emerges from the ordeal, reborn anew. The Labyrinth center could represent a unification with the heroâs inner self, a higher power, or the ultimate challenge, and the tunnel could represent a birth canal.
What other symbolism might a labyrinth hold in art and literature?

Not only would it be super cool to fix up some of the old books my grandma and I own, but I really wanna make some hard copies of my favorite fics. That would be so cool!
I've been watching too many bookbinding youtube videos and I really wanna try it. Thinking about buying some supplies online in the next couple of days.
i think the people making the jurassic world movies really missed the point of the original movies. they just showed up to make monster movies. except they got which characters are the monsters wrong. it was never the dinosaurs the same way it was never Dr. Frankensteinâs âmonster.â the dinos didnât ask to be created. theyâre just animals. the point was that science fucked up. the whole entire point was baldly stated right there in the first movie: âyour scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didnât stop to think if they should.â
the iRex was a monster intrinsically. she wasnât just an animal. she didnât act like an animal, she acted like a monster. the indoraptor wasnât an animal, it was a monster, just out to kill and destroy for no reason. even in the 3rd one, therizinosaurus - an herbivore, for the record - just straight up murders some deer standing in its way and then actively tries to hunt down claire for no reason. pyroraptor appears just to be scary and swim around looking cool but just generally being a monster. giganotosaurus was just there to fight the trex and the therizinosaurus and die because they couldnât kill a trex after she survived this long.
the creators of jurassic world just wanted to make monster movies, and thatâs valid. they just didnât really understand who the monsters were.
