According to the notes, not everyone is familiar with Amelia Bedilia

Above the picture it says “Contest #747” and below the picture it says “Your Submission” above the caption “So, he married this chick Amelia, a divorcee. She’d kept her ex’s name. Smith or whatever. He never knew her maiden name–Bedelia. One day, he tells her he wants to buy this house, fix it up and sell it, right? But, crucially, what he says is,” /end description]
ever since I learned about identifying people based on dental records I knew I would never be able to commit a biting related crime bc I have a distinctive bite pattern but then a few years ago I let the stupid government fingerprint me so now I canāt commit any crimes
biting someone to death like a wild dog is back on the menu boys!
modern social media should stop offering “sync with your phone contacts to follow them” options and start offering “block all your phone contacts so they never see your account” options
everytime I remember that lesbian couple that have a marble statue of the two of them embracing and sleeping on a bed together over where their graves will be because the artists didnāt believe they would be able to be married before they died, so what they couldnāt have in life they could have in death, I fucking breakdown
memorial to a marriage; patricia cronin
āon july 24th, 2011- the first day that same sex marriage was legal in new york state, particia cronin and deborah kass got married. that same year the marble āmemorial to a marriageā was replaced with a bronze version. rainwater pools in the space between their two sculpted bodies, and falling leaves catch on the metal in the autumn. the two women sleep peacefully through snow and ice, and the scorching days of summer. over time the hands of cemetery visitors will wear down the bronze, burnishing it into a smooth shine. one day this will mark the final resting place of the two women. and someday people will have to remember that there was a time, long ago, when this was a memorial to a marriage that two women never thought theyād have.āĀ

happy 20th anniversary (nov 3, 2002) to patricia croninās marble sculpture that furthered art, advocacy, and lesbian breakdowns everywhere
Live theater in the His Dark Materials universe must be wild. Surely an actorās daemon also has lines to recite, so their daemonās form probably also factors into casting decisions. Maybe some plays have vague character descriptions for daemons, but I bet other plays have really specific or central daemon characters. And sure, big-budget theaters can afford to hire a separate actor with a particular daemon to stand backstage while their daemon plays its part onstage, but community theaters donāt have those kinds of resources.
Like if youāre casting for Julius Caesar, surely the real historical Caesar had a pretty iconic daemon, right? Are you going to cast an actor with a pigeon daemon as Caesar and just have everyone suspend their disbelief that itās Caesarās lioness, į¼Ī¼Ī±ĻĻĪÆĪ±?
