Midway through September’s #mudlarking exhibitions & it’s been a joy to meet so many of you & share the stories behind our foreshore finds. A favourite artefact with visitors has been my collection of 15th/16thC pinners’ bones. Fashioned from the cannon (leg) bone of a cow for the making of pins 1/

The giant Basalt lion sculpture from the Ain Dara temple complex in Syria. The temple itself dates from around the 13th century BC and was discovered in 1955. The site was largely destroyed in 2018/19 and the lion sculpture was stolen, it’s condition and whereabouts are now unknown.

The sculpture is seen in profile with the head and chest dominating. The sculpture, whilst large, appears neat and compact, its short legs and paws are drawn in and there is no width in the shoulders. There is sharpness and detail to the features of the lions face. The eye, snout and whiskers are sharply defined. The ear, I think that’s what it’s meant to be, is folded or braided and resembles a horn that extends beneath the lions jawline. It looks a little like an Iron Age torc. Whilst its mouth is agape, the impression is not a fearsome one. Whilst I don’t wish to be facetious, the lion aesthetically does bear a passing resemblance to the characters in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series Top Cat. That might not be a common association however!

Imagine being Nikki Haley. You endure all the racism, threats, and hate from running against Trump in the primary, then eat your last shred of dignity and endorse him anyway. Then Dick fucking Cheney comes along and shows how low the bar for moral courage is that you couldn’t clear.

Cuidado com as pesquisas. Lembram do Datafolha acima da média em 2022 (para não falar do IPEC)? Isso foi em meados de agosto. Cerca de dois meses depois Lula praticamente empataria com Bolsonaro (no segundo turno).

I am not important enough to disagree with Le Guin, but I'm going to do it anyway: in this case she is reifying the idea of 'mythology' in a way that is unnecessary if not mildly ridiculous. Mythology is robust; the danger is not that it ends up diluted, but that it colonizes all stories it touches-
wendyxu.bsky.social Wendy Xu @wendyxu.bsky.social · Sep 5
le guin shooting to kill once again. "myth and archetype in science fiction". was never okay with saying shit like "superheroes are modern american mythology" & this sums it up so nicely
Beyond and beneath the great living mythologies of religion and power there is another region into which science fiction enters. I would call it the area of Submyth: by which I mean those images, figures, and motifs which have no religious resonance and no intellectual or aesthetic value, but which are vigorously alive and powerful, so that they cannot be dismissed as mere stereotypes. They are shared by all of us; they are genuinely collective. Superman is a submyth. His father was Nietzsche and his mother was a funny book, and he is alive and well in the mind of every ten-year-old-and millions of others. Other science-fictional submyths are the blond heroes of sword and sorcery, with their unusual weapons; insane or self-deifying com-puters; mad scientists; benevolent dic-tators; detectives who find out who done it; capitalists who buy and sell gal-axies; brave starship captains and/or troopers; evil aliens; good aliens; and every pointy-breasted brainless young woman who was ever rescued from monsters, lectured to, patronized or, in recent years, raped, by one of the aforementioned heroes. It hurts to call these creatures mytho-logical. It is a noble word, and they are so grotty. But they are alive, in books, magazines, pictures, movies, advertis-ing, and our own minds. Their roots are the roots of myth, are in our uncon-scious-that vast dim region of the psyche and perhaps beyond the psyche, which Jung called "collective" because it is similar in all of us, just as our bodies are basically similar. The vigor comes from there, and so they cannot they can help motivate a world movement such as fascism!-But neither can they furnish materials useful to art. They have no element of the true myth except its emotive, irrational "there-ness." Writers who deliberately submit to them have forfeited the right to call their work science fiction; they're just popcultists cashing in

During the mass shooting in Georgia yesterday, a bunch of students in a statistics class went out into the hall to drag in their teacher, and then barricaded the door.

Ricky Aspinwall, 39, died in the classroom. He leaves a wife and 2 young daughters.
