'Brian's got this terrible cold. I'm taking him a Beechams Powder.' So I went downstairs to the lobby. 'There you are, Bri.' 'Oh, thanks man,' he said, and snatching the open white paper, snorted the lot. 'It's a Beechams Powder!' I squawked. 'Yeeeah!' he went and gave the paper back to me. With it still in my hand I stood there waving goodbye. 'Drive carefully now. Sorry John couldn't come and see you! He'll be all right in a couple of days. Bye!' and, turning to go back in, found myself nose to nose with the manager. 'Mr Spinetti! Please! Do not give your friends, er, things in the lobby of the Mamounia Hotel.' 'Its a Beechams Powder.' 'Ye-es, that is what they all say.' I went upstairs at told John who fell on the floor laughing.

In college I read the book The Art of Dramatic Writing by Lajos Egri, who essentially argued that, in a well-written play, the plot should emerge organically from the psychology of the characters.

In particular, he argues that the central tragic force of the story of Oedipus is that it is the same psychological forces which make Oedipus great which also cause his undoing.

Note that Oedipus doesn't do the two obvious things that would forestall the prophecy: he neither refuses to kill, nor does he refuse to marry.

For Egri, it is Oedipus' force of will and unbending sense of honor which cause the quarrel in which he kills Laius (When he could have simply let him pass), his rage at the murder of Laius, and his willingness to punish himself so severely when he learns of his own guilt (When he could have tried to hide his guilt or evade punishment).

Egri's claim is that Oedipus Rex endures as a play precisely because the actions of the story do not flow from an arbitrary prophecy, but from the consistent character of Oedipus himself.

I think ive said it before but you really gotta feel bad for oedipus that wanting to fuck your mother got named after him. He really did not want to do that . It is central to oedipus rex how badly he didnt want to do that. Dick move by freud

Hi! Just wanna raise some awareness here because South America is on fucking fire and I need to see more people talking about this.

Source: RSOE EDIS x

Im just going to talk about the ones i'm closest to, but if you know about these fires, feel free to add in the reblogs!

Chile

In Chile there's (up to Feb 5) 160 wild fires, of which 40 are still trying to be controlled by authorities. The president, Gabriel Boric, has declared State of Emergency in the whole country, and theres a Red Alert Code in most part of the country.

Isla de Chiloé, Southern Chile (900 km away from Santiago de Chile)

This is a (recently controlled) fire that lasted a week, but many neighborhoods were burnt to the ground.

The whole South is in red alert for constant sudden fires that spread quickly due to the lack of rain and the elevated temperatues in the zone. Just today, two fires had to be controlled in the main land next to this island, and more are being reported in the Los Lagos region. This is added to the "controlled" intentional fires that farmers make to clean their fields of old crops along the Central-South parts of the country, mostly surrunding the main route, Ruta 5, that connects the whole country, thus making it hard to see and breathe because of the smoke. (flashnews, most of them get out of control quickly.)

Valparaiso/Viña del Mar, Central Chile (100 km away from Santiago de Chile)

A fire that started on Friday 2nd and grew exponentially because of the wind and the dry, hot climate. More than 100 people are dead, with 70 unrecognized bodies and other 400 that have dissapeared. At least 30000 people that have lost everything to the fire.

There's massive evacuations from this and the neighboring city, Viña Del Mar.

This is said to be the second most deadly fire in the century, surpased by Australia in 2009.

45000+ hectares that include land and neighborhoods have been burnt down.

I could go on about this one, so more info here and here

Argentina

Parque Los Alerces (Esquel), Chubut

The fire strarted on the 25th January, and the climate has made it hard to contain. 3000 hectares of native forest have been burnt to teh ground. It is now growing in the direction of the nearest city, Esquel. Theres been evacuations between yesterday and today (4 and 5th Febuary)

Parque Nahuel Huapi (Bariloche), Río Negro

The reason why im writing this. The city woke up today covered in smoke after a wildfire developed yesterday during the night. The reason? A fireplace that was not turned off in a place where people cannot disembark and can only be reached via boats.

As of now, there's not much information about the fire but hopefully the firefighters will be able to contain it before it reaches Tronador Mountain, where an ancient glaciar is.

...which leads me to the other point i wanted to talk about.

Firefighters

They volunteer to do this job.

In Argentina and Chile, firefighting is not rewarded with a salary, and most of the times they dont even have full firehouses to stay in. These people are at their houses, ready to jump into action and run to the station the second the alarm goes off.

They are neighbors, people that risk their lives and run into danger willingly, just because they want to help the community.

I felt the need to give a shout-out to these people and say:

Don't be a fucking dick, don't start fires in the woods unless it's an approved place, and if you do, TURN IT OFF.

Pour abundant water on it, and do not stop when you don't see any more flames.

Keep pouring water until the ashes don't burn/feel like room temperature in your hand if you put it 10 cm away from it, and even then, pour some more just to be sure.

No heat and no smoke mean a safely extinguished fire.

Save lives and forests.
