Alexander Pushkin taking 5 stanzas out of his novel to exhaustively describe his love of feet, as the narrator, directly addressing the reader in breathtakingly evocative poetic verse, before begrudgingly returning to the story at hand has massive Dirk energy

Monthly post about how I cannot stand bitches who schematize classpect instead of understanding class and especially aspect as pools of associated symbols with incredible cultural weight

feel like centering a good portion of my prior analysis of the text on nostalgic commodities and their relationship to the past was all a set up to get my head caved in by this intermission

Taz can slip through cracks and slide through pipes as much as she wants. The real power the past holds over her isn't enforced through the literal boundaries of her ancestor's fort; it's ephemeral. An impermeable legacy metabolized in the minds of herself and her superiors.

Hezbollah reportedly demanding captured IDF officer “explain Deleuze” to them or they’ll “fucking kill” him
