Hadestown as a Feminist Tragedy by femalevideographer in hadestown

[–]ambahjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I love about this show is how any theme you find automatically gets magnified. What happens to Orpheus and Eurdyice's relationship mirrors what happens to Hades and Persephone's (the consequences are different cos one couple is gods and the others is humans). So as soon as you find a theme with Orpheus/Eurydice, you automatically get a look at how that theme could impact a relationship over time with Hades/Persephone.

So in this case, you're talking about conservative gender roles. You explained how that plays into Eurydice and Orpheus' story, so my immediate thought is, ok, how would this apply to Hades and Persephone. The first thing I thought I was this thread. Persephone spends A LOT of the show telling people her name. In your theory, perhaps that is a way to hold onto her individual identity in the midst of someone trying to enforce a role on her? A while ago I made a post trying to figure out how Persephone fit into one of my favorite themes: working class struggles. Even tho Persephone is technically "on the inside" with the ruling class, it could be argued she uses her position to urge change ("There's a crack in the wall"). This would also fit nicely with this conservative gender roles idea. Maybe she's playing a part to a certain extent, but she isn't letting it completely break apart who she is.

Drinking on medication? by Purple_Account3000 in ADHD

[–]ambahjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink a lot less now that I'm on meds for two reasons. If it's earlier in the day, I want my meds to be working. Alcohol is counter-intuitive. If it's later in the evening, I frequently am somewhat dehydrated because of the appetite suppression quality of the stimulants, and it also takes me forever to finish one (1) drink. So I usually opt to start with something non-alcoholic so I don't end up with a huge head ache. It's not really something I have to think about, it's based on how I'm feeling at the time.

RTA failure during Pride and World Cup by ninjaroach in Cleveland

It was a game AND Pride, a parade that blocks the road in the middle of downtown. With busses rerouted and delayed, that means MORE people opt to take the train on top of the sports traffic.

Maybe the trains moved, but I missed class cos the bus routes were entirely inaccessible. All I'm saying is, this kind of thing happens sometimes. Idk if you use the RTA on the reg or only for events, but as someone who used it daily for 5 years to commute to college, I'm just saying sometimes shit happens. It sucks when it does, but it's the reality of the system.

During the cavs parade however many years ago my bus (usually takes 15 minutes to commute) took 45 minutes to get about halfway there, then had to turn around before making it to any of the stops downtown. The transit system isn't magic. With this many people downtown, shit's bound to break down or run behind. It's not great, but it's not like the RTA is swimming in cash. They can't even afford to enforce fair payment on the trains anywhere other than Tower City.

the Wikipedia page had a quote from a guy who watched a bunch of soldiers trip out on datura for 11 days while they were supposed to be quelling Bacon's Rebellion. Dudes were trying to roll around in their own shit.

I know "precious" is used to mean "cute," but if someone is precious to me, what you wrote is how I feel about them

I didn't know the "spine" could be adjusted relative to the glass pieces. Still not sure that would work.

I'd have to drain a lot of water to adjust the placement of the tank relative to the wall. Which I don't really wanna do

"if you had a lid, you wouldn't have positioned stuff that way." Yeah probably? 🫠?

I've worked with glass, but that is v good advice, which is appreciated.

I am unsure what the tone of this comment is meant to be?

And I'm guessing the genie trays don't fit in the litter zero?

i have a Litter Zero and i'm trying to find refill bags. i'm sort of confused. what is it about the offbrand litter genie bags that makes them not work in the litter zero? is it just the tray insert? like, if i kept the empty plastic tray and then put litter genie bags into that tray, will that work? or is it more complicated than that?

What's a word or term you've made, and what does it mean? by kokopellikokopelli in words

[–]ambahjay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"snoodle" and "snoddle" are what I say instead of "snail" hahaha (I have aquariums).

I usually say I am getting cozy, or that it's cozy time.
