The first library to be rescued during the genocide. My dream is for it to become a big library.

In ten days, I'll be staying at C.S. Lewis's Oxford home, The Kilns, as a short-term Resident Fellow with The C.S. Lewis Foundation. I'll be working on an essay including Lewis in a theory of "Literary Atmosphere" while there. Can't think of a better place to write on this.

Never outgrow children's books. Some would dismiss them but I have never understood anybody who dislikes magic, wonder, and hope.

Tomtar are small, mischievous creatures of Scandinavian folklore that always wear red hats. They are solitary creatures who prefer to keep to themselves, but they have a special connection with animals and are known to take very good care of them.

i think she was referring to this one, we should all be scared…

homophobia isn't just slurs, hate crimes and undisguised revulsion. sometimes, it's a polite smile and an "oh, i'm sorry we can't serve you bc your existence goes against what god ordained (and you're going to hell). have a nice day!" and that /still/ counts. bigotry is bigotry

A few days ago, I threw out my back, so I wasn’t sure I’d make it through to the end watching a movie. But armed with my secret weapon—an inflatable lumbar pillow into the chair—I watched “Predator: Badlands.” A back-friendly 107 minutes! And it was great! I’m sure some long-time fans will say, “This isn’t Predator!” I, too, love John McTiernan’s Predator (1987). But director Dan Trachtenberg already pulled off a brilliant reimagining of the original style with “Prey,” successfully completing that mission. “Predator: Badlands”marks his next phase. It builds on the animated film, “Predator: Killer of Killers.” This is a character-driven movie about the Predator “Dek” and his partner “Thia” (Elle is, as always, adorable). Rather than a tale of “terror of being hunted,” it’s a classic, comedic action film that depicts the “friendship” born in the midst of the hunt. “Failure of the weak, isolation, journey, training, encounter, rebellion, clash, comradeship, betrayal, redemption, reconciliation, unity, revenge, growth, choice, family—and a new threat.” These elements form the very blueprint of mainstream Japanese manga storytelling, typified by “Weekly Shonen Jump.” The film also takes heavy visual inspiration from video games. It represents a new direction for Hollywood entertainment led by a new generation of filmmakers who have inherited the global ‘memes’ of manga, anime, and gaming culture. I especially hope young anime fans who usually steer clear of live-action Western films will give this one a try. Even with Dek’s “ugly” face, you’ll find yourself emotionally invested from the opening scene. You’ll definitely get hooked.

Oh no.. 😂

both movies having been filmed at the same time but succeeding in making both look so much older in the second will not go unnoticed… whoever was in charge of hair and makeup did a phenomenal job.

9-10 November 1938 | The November Pogrom – a pogrom against the Jews throughout Nazi Germany. Hundreds were killed (or died by suicide), 30,000 men arrested and incarcerated in concentration camps, over 1,000 synagogues burnt, over 7,000 Jewish businesses destroyed or damaged. In an article on the evening of 11 November, Joseph Goebbels ascribed the events to the "healthy instincts" of the German people: "The German people are anti-Semitic. It has no desire to have its rights restricted or to be provoked in the future by parasites of the Jewish race." The pogrom changed the nature of the Nazi persecution of Jews from economic, political & social to physical with beatings, incarceration & murder. In this view, it is not only as a large-scale pogrom but also a critical stage within a process which led to genocidal stage. Reichspogromnacht is also known as the Kristallnacht ("Crystal Night"). This name comes from the shards of broken glass that littered the streets after the windows of Jewish-owned stores, buildings and synagogues were smashed. Only three years after the November Pogrom the physical extermination of Jews began in Germany & German-occupied European territory - first the murder was perpetrated in the East by shooting of the Einsatzgruppen & later in gas chambers of extermination camps, such as Auschwitz. Exactly 4 years after the November Pogrom - on 9 November 1942 - a transport of 1000 Jews deported by the Germans from District of Białystok arrived at Auschwitz. 190 men & 104 women were registered. The remaining 706 people were murdered in gas chambers.
