There’s a strange love inside It’s getting louder, and louder, and louder, and louder, and louder There’s a danger I can’t hide Who I am, it’s who I am It’s who I am, it’s who I am I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love

Musubi is the old way of calling the local guardian god. This word has profound meaning. Tying thread is musubi. Connecting people is musubi. The flow of time is musubi. These are all the god’s power. So the braided cords that we make are the god’s art and represent the flow of time itself. They converge and take shape. They twist, tangle, sometimes unravel, break, and then connect again. Musubi- that’s time.

whenever you have free time, check these out:

articles/essays

the real tragedy of beth march (i recommend this on every chance i get. it's why i find beth to be the most fascinating character in little women)

remote control (read this because of sufjan stevens. a very good account of the tonya harding scandal)

my grandma the poisoner (the horror i experienced the first time i read this is unparalleled. completely, utterly disturbing)

the empathy exams (you've probably heard of this and, yes, it deserves the hype)

exploring q slur (sigh) desire in hbo's succession (on the homoerotic undertones in succession's both seasons. need i say more?)

celebrity culture is burning (this is from march 2020, after gal gadot posted that atrocious imagine cover)

the age of instagram face (spot-on criticism of instagram beauty culture, fantastic read )

the lawless energy of teen-age girls (this is a new yorker piece on an excellent photography collection depicting teenage girlhood)

youtube channels/videos

liziqi (her videos will undoubtedly make you feel better on an off-day, especially on the cold winter days to come!)

goodnight moon (you will not believe the effort put into these themed asmr videos. check out her babblebrook series for cozy fantasy vibes)

asmr in movies & tv (ignoring the one of harry potter, this playlist offers quite a satisfying experience)

barbie movie clips (you did not know you needed this. it's a playlist of scenes from old barbie movies in extremely high definition)

reading my old diary like it's a work of classic literature (such a fun, light-hearted concept! watch this if you feel heavy and need a lil' something to cheer you up)

the immersive realism of studio ghibli and why miyazaki's films sound pretty (watching video essays on studio ghibli films is the highest form of self-care)

that time disney remade beauty and the beast and why the music in the live-action disney remakes is worse than you thought (disney-bashing is another great form of self-care)

how coraline borrows from ancient forms of storytelling (more specifically, it's a video essay on how coraline utilizes classic horror/ghost story tropes. very fascinating)

is titanic good, actually? (a lengthy video essay on the sweeping, epic tragedy that is titanic. enjoy)

parasite - the power of symbols and parasite's perfect montage (on the magnificent brilliance of bong joon ho's parasite)

misc.

the mytholadies podcast (very easy listening experience and fascinating explorations of your favorite ladies from mythology. they also do themed episodes every month!)

all three hadestown albums on spotify: concept album, original cast recording (live), original broadway cast recording (if the myth of orpheus and eurydice lives on your mind rent free, you need to listen to these. my personal favorite is the original cast recording, but all are fantastic)

the husband stitch (the chilling short story by carmen maria machado from the collection 'her body and other parties'. this is a favorite of mine)

the lottery (on the off-chance you haven't read this unsettling masterpiece, do it now)

artist searches childhood bully on facebook, doesn't expect to find this (this comic changed my perspective on everything)

subscribe (another comic i keep thinking about, this one's a critique of youtuber self-care culture)

this post (directs to one of the best writing resources i have ever come across)
