« [Falling in love] is the ignition state of a special collective movement made up of solely two individuals.

I use the term “collective movement” intentionally because ‘falling in love’ is not an ungraspable, transcendental occurrence, divine or diabolic as the case may be. The experience of ‘falling in love’ shares the essential traits of any collective movement, which is a well-known sociological category, yet at the same time it retains its own unmistakable nature. No one would think, for example, to confuse it with such other examples of collective movements as the Protestant Reformation, the student protest movement of the 1960s, the Feminist movement [or] the Islamic movement led by Khomeini. It simply remains a special case within the same genre.

Indeed, the great mass collective movements in history and the ignition state of falling in love are closely related in terms of the type of forces that they free up and set in motion, as well as in terms of the analogous experiences of solidarity and joy in life, or the feelings of renewal, which they stimulate. […]

[Quoting Durkheim]: “A man who experiences such sentiments feels himself dominated by outside forces that lead him … He feels himself in a world … not only more intense but also qualitatively different. … [These forces] need to overflow for the sake of overflowing, as in play without any specific objective … At such moments, this higher form of life is lived with such intensity and exclusiveness that it monopolizes all minds to the more or less complete exclusion of egoism and the commonplace.”

When he wrote these words, Durkheim was not thinking at all about falling in love. He had in mind the French Revolution […]. Up to now most sociologists, psychologists, and philosophers have seemed averse (perhaps out of embarrassment) to admitting to there being a common if not identical thread linking great historical processes […] to such a private everyday occurrence as that of two people falling in love. It is perhaps a question of professional pride: they’d prefer to study only large-scale phenomena, those big important things at the crux of human social life [and] it has never occurred to them that the same forces that they study might be at work in these passions as well. »

Love how Pacific Rim became its own genre of fanfic AUs because the concept of soulmate-powered giant robots was just that good.

Brendan Brisson: I’ve been living with him the last two weeks and have grown to know that he’s got a weird obsession with frogs. He’s got a big frog pond in his backyard. I’m like, ‘where’s Trevor?’ Then I’ll go around the property and he’s hanging out with the frogs (x)

x files studies but this time I tired to achieve that VHS feeling. I very vaguely remember watching some episodes as a kid, and I think this is as close as I've ever got to recreating that memory of a small, grainy tv in a dark room

still not over the stephen colbert thing, the way they're punishing him so much by not only essentially firing him but cancelling the show he loves in its entirety, which means also punishing all 200 people who work for and with him on the show.

it is setting an example. it's saying, "this is what happens when you speak truth to power. we will not only punish you. we'll punish the people around you that you've led and loved. is it worth it now, stephen? would it be worth it, other late night talk show hosts? if you don't keep quiet, we will quiet you". the other late night talk show hosts are not all under paramount (iirc, it's just the daily show), but this sets a precedent that tells them they are all vulnerable.

"it's not a big deal" idk man it really seems like it is

“What I once wanted as a miracle, what I called a miracle, was really a desire for discontinuity and interruption, the desire for an anomaly: I called a miracle exactly that moment in which the true continuous miracle of the process was interrupted. But the neutral goodness of the God is still more appealable than if it were not neutral: to have it all you must do is go, to have it all you must do is ask. And the miracle can be requested, and had, since continuity has interstices that do not discontinue it, the miracle is the note between two notes of music, it is the number between number one and number two. To have it all you have to do is need it. Faith — is knowing you can go and eat the miracle. Hunger, that is what faith is in itself — and needing is my guarantee that to me it will always be given. Needing is my guide.”
