just misread ‘can’t stand minions’ as ‘can’t stand minoans’ and spent 5 minutes pondering how much of a grudge you could really have against the population of bronze age crete

Why Minoans are problematic:

– jumped over bulls = animal cruelty

– only used Linear A, which has never been deciphered, so basically very inaccessible and history’s tallest paywall

– spent all their time building palaces

– disappeared mysteriously, thus avoiding any accountability for the aforementioned

it’s a lovely morning in middle earth, and you are a horrible ring.

And so life in the Shire goes on, very much as it has this past age. Full of its own comings and goings with change coming slowly, if it comes at all. For things are made to endure in the Shire, passing from one generation to the next. There’s always been a Baggins living here under the Hill, in Bag End. And there always will be.

Pure Morning // Top of the Pops, 1998

Not to be simultaneously dramatic and old on main, but this band changed my whole adolescence.

huge, HUGE same. i remember watching the video for this when it dropped in the states and i was on the floor sobbing by the end.

i joined alt.music.placebo (REALLY showing my age, here) and made friends with everyone in there and most of us are still very close friends. can’t imagine life without the ampers in it. (a.m.p. – amp, ampers.)

i got to see them live for the first and probably only time back in 2017. i was in london and went to the concert with one of the ampers. i sobbed through pure morning because it was so overwhelming to see that song, live, in london, with someone i’d known and loved for twenty years because of that song. (@herdivineshadow it was shanu and his lovely claire.)

gonna go put this album on repeat and have some feels.

Like everyone seemed to say “oh the friends you make in secondary school are the ones you have for life” or the ones at university and like NO.

The friends you make on Usenet are the ones.
