Happy Pride Month! Please Enjoy This Rainbow Bug~

My favorite version so far.Beautiful music,obviosly, but also beautifully acted and staged.The “messenger”part actually made me cry in class ,something I haven’t done since I was 14.

Monteverdi’s l'Orfeo, conducted by Jordi Savall, performed by Le Concert des Nations, La Capella Reial de Catalunya, and soloists.

I am so fond of this version, from the elegant set to the instrumentalists (crisp and full of vigour) to the warm and frankly imperfect singing. But what really makes it is Mr Savall’s entrance. The drums and brass start playing, and there he goes, striding down to the pit in his billowing robes. Jordi, you magnificent bastard!

hey guys i seriously hate to make this post but i don’t know if i have a choice anymore

i’m a full time trans neurodivergent college student and my life is spiraling out of control (parents going thru a messy divorce, dad might disown me and i cannot survive without his financial help and mom can’t afford to help me, etc)

basically i’m more suicidal and dysphoric than i’ve ever been in my life and i only get 8hrs/week at my job. i live in alabama and i just found out the only doctor that does hrt here is violently intrusive and homophobic so i have to go to nashville (4 hour drive)

i can’t afford gas to get there and i can’t afford hrt, but i can’t live without it anymore. plus i’ve discovered i might have some other health problems and my upcoming rent will be 600/mo

i need anything i can get at this point. thank you so much

Tankie as a word has lost pretty much all of its meaning. And, it is only a matter of time before anyone who thinks Nazis should be punched is labeled a "tankie".

“the submarine trip was stupid and rooted in classism”, “it’s absolutely hideous how much more manpower was put into saving and reporting on them vs the 500 migrants who died in a similar horrible fashion”, and “despite their actions, no human being (especially not a nineteen year old) should deserve to die like this, especially when their death will not actually herald any positive change/abolishment of the billionaire class” are three thoughts than can and should coexist. you don’t have to mourn their deaths, but you don’t need to celebrate them, either.

Just found out something awful that happened to one of my best friends from childhood and i can't stop sobbing. Shes the sweetest person and i wish i could help her somehow. She called me crying and told me her moms bf assaulted her last month and now shes worried because shes late and been feeling sick.

This.

the fact that "Last Jew/One Of Last Remaining Jews" in a specific geographic location is a type of profile unto itself sure is something.

like. think about that for a second. it is SUCH a frequent occurrence that Jews are driven out of places until there's none left/only a handful left that someone can say "i swear every time they profile one of the last remaining jews anywhere they are always A Character in true jewish fashion" and no one even blinks at that. just. i'm tired

(this is the post I'm referencing. OP's tags made clear she wanted it to be a spot of Jewish joy and I want to respect that so I made my own post to be sad and a downer. and the man in question sounds lovely. But then I started thinking about how common it is for there to be The Last Jew in any given locale and grief hit me.)
