“For Hite, understanding how sex actually worked for ppl, or did not, offered a key to understanding gender relations more broadly. ‘A woman's place in sex,’ she wrote, ‘mirrors her place in the rest of society.’ Perhaps, she thought, an anonymous survey would yield the revelations she was missing”🧪

“Lessons of Darkness” (1992), directed by Werner Herzog. Set in the aftermath of the first Gulf War, the film tells the story of the scorched oil fields of Kuwait through apocalyptic imagery.
It is. His movies are an experience that tap into the subconscious. There’s always a scary dream quality to them. They’re also usually darkly funny.
I need to rewatch Phantom of the Paradise. I watched it years ago and I don’t think I understood it at all.
“Written and shaped for the talents of its stars Margot Kidder and Jennifer Salt—De Palma famously gave them copies of Sisters’ screenplay as a Christmas present while the young women were roommates in California—it’s easy to take their performances for granted.” ! (I didn’t know this)
One of my favorites of BdP. But then when I look at what he’s done and I realize he’s actually one of my favorite directors? I just don’t think of him that way for some reason. Blow Out and Sisters are underrated imho
One of my favorite lines from Russell Hoban's novel The Medusa Frequency: "In the morning I came awake as I always do, like a man trapped in a car going over a cliff."
My photo shows a museum display with colourful Minoan pottery cups arranged on three clear shelves, one above the other. These cups, known as Kamares Ware, are from Phaistos, Crete. They were made in palace workshops, c. 1800-1700 BC. The cups range in shape and size from conic and cylindrical cups (top and middle shelves) to hemispherical and carinated shaped cups (bottom shelf). They are decorated with multi-coloured geometric motifs; with spirals and swirls painted in red and white pigment on black.
Sipping my coffee ☕️ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups!
They look so modern it’s incredible to think they were made during the Bronze Age some 3,800 years ago!

Remembering producer and screenwriter Debra Hill whom we lost 21 years ago today. Hill was a trailblazer in the industry best known for her work on Halloween, Escape from New York, and Escape from LA. She helped pave the way for women in the industry, and mentored @galeannehurd.bsky.social.

A digital simulation of a work and weathered two color relief print on toned paper. A black goat with big horns curving back in a somewhat exaggerated running or prancing pose is turning his head to look back over his shoulder. There is a pole topped with a small inverted cross crooked in one of his front legs and attached to the pole, streaming over the goat, is a red banner bearing some crusty looking blackletter script reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’

A grey cat stands proudly on a red pillow with gold leaf design. The pillow is atop a white wooden rocking chair, the throne of said cat.
Inspired by ancient reverence for cats, I've created 'Felines of Antiquity,' a raku vase that honours their timeless, divine charm and enduring diva attitudes.
Does your cat act like a god or goddess? Mine certainly does!

Elements from Egyptian and Greek mythology are combined in this delicate figure. The view taken here is that Anubis is represented, wearing military costume and breastplate that signify his role as a fighter against the enemies of Osiris. He holds a staff topped by a cone-shaped object - the thyrsus carried by followers of Dionysus with whom the Greeks equated Osiris. In his other hand he carries a falcon. On the other hand, the snout and ears appear short for Anubis and more like those of a cat, and the short dress can be worn by Artemis who is associated with Bastet. The identity of the figure is, therefore, not certain. Roman, from Egypt, 2nd-3rd century CE. Height: 1 15/16 in. (4.9 cm) Met Museum, New York (67.190)
This l’il fella is a gold amulet from Roman Egypt, possibly representing the Egyptian god Anubis as a defender of Osiris-Dionysus. He wears a military tunic and breastplate, signifying him as a defender of Osiris; he also holds a thyrsus of Dionysus, equated with Osiris. 🏺 1/

Illustration of a woman walking beside a lion. Two more lions walk behind them.
'There was great joy when she arrived, for they all believed that she had been torn to pieces by the lion, and was no longer alive. But she told them what a handsome husband she had, and how well off she was.'

your wholeness cascades into many shapes.
You run like a herd of luminous deer,
