So what this paint company does is take iron pollution from abandoned mines that are polluting soils and rivers and makes iron based red pigment paints out of it.

Basically they realized hey no one's cleaning this shit up, it's polluting the streams, killing all the fish, making the water undrinkable and there's a huge market for it so why not make money by cleaning it the fuck up?

They remove this stuff by the industrial bucket load from the rivers. The idea is if it's in a painting, if it's in your home, it's not poisoning wildlife.

anyway its cool as shit, please support tf out of these people https://gamblinstore.com/reclaimed-earth-colors-set/

Climate crisis is coming for all of us. We need to vote for people who are not insulated from reality via donor bribes.

We need a robust EPA. The current Supreme Court wants to end the EPA and Federal power to regulate our air and water. Never forget.

Get involved. Vote.

Hadestown tour thoughts 

1/7/24

All the expressed observations are jokes 

Will Mann and Malcolm Atwood are besties. They did a hand signal to each other 

Hermes puts his hand on Eurydice's shoulder, and they look at each other as they seem to be aware of what's about to happen

The tallest fate and Hermes are also besties

Persephone is very dramatic and has rich auntie vibes, and Hades is giving typical male behavior as in he hides feelings internally and makes it everyone's problem

Hermes gives me pastor vibes with inflections at the end of sentences 

Eurydice will fight everyone 

The fates run the shade room 

Eurydice's lacy shorts look good fashion-wise 

I know the musical is inevitable, but singing something over and over is going to get old 

The chorus has a big personality 

The fates are haters 

How strong is the alcohol 

Half handstand sexy time

Hades and Persephone seem to be better in the beginning

Hades: men don't listen 

The look Hades gives Eurydice, and she looks back to ask why is this old man trying to hit on me

Honestly, hades’ glasses look like he got them at a Bass Pro shop

Trombone lady!!

For someone so rich you think they can afford a new paint job

Hades was so proud of his environmental destruction and exploitation of his workers

Hades: the Henry Ford of it all

Also, hades: if you don't want the indentured servitude, then I'll get a side chick

Hades has absolutely no rizz

Eurydice caves when he says she has something fine

The first note of Hey Little Songbird is deep

Hades hand snatched from Eurydice’s ticket was so trifling 

The fates stay on Eurydice's ass

Hermes telling Orpheus about Eurydice is like a disappointed parent who got a call from the principal 

Persephone is resigned 

Why we build the wall is like a republican rally

Hades losing his tie is so sleazy. Yuck 

I do want a drink, but it needs to be punk lemonade 

Hermes did not appreciate the butt slap by Persephone 

Dancing pain away is a good idea, Persephone 

Eurydice wants to make a friend 

Amaya did an excellent job of flowers 

Orpheus to the rescue 

Hades always shows up when he is not wanted

You're not intimidating. You're just tall and skinny 

The workers seem pretty shocked at their actions

The fates singing is good, but character-wise, they’re annoying 

They're creating a union 

Persephone, I think you and your husband should go to marriage counseling 

Now Hades is trying to crush the union 

Now sing for your life 

Persephone crying breaks me

All workers starting to remember who they were breaks me even more

Yet again, the fates are up in everyone's business 

Big decisions require slamming your chair

Yes, how can your employees be so ungrateful when you practically enslaved them

 The way Hades called for Hermes felt like a microaggression

And now we play the game don't look back at the game 

I enjoy how Orpheus's singing has a bit of grit when he is in despair 

Oh no, he looked back. I can't believe it🤷

I feel bad for the characters being a constant time loop 

At least Orpheus is on stage for the final song

The story's moral is that we try, despite the bad outcome, to see a better one. But not this time though, you thought 😂

listen. listen. you know i love me a good orpheus and eurydice and that means obviously i love hadestown okay? like we've established that?? okay listen. i love love love the tragedy of it all and my god he looks back because he cannot bear to exist without her for a second longer and i could go on about this forever. but!! I have a different thing to say and it is specifically about hadestown in particular and not other versions of the myths

persephone is complicit!! in hadestown, persephone is complicit in all of it! she complains about how her husband has been changing things and she complains about how he makes others dependent on him for money when he is the one who chose to give money that value in the first place (why do we build the wall? to keep out the enemy, which is poverty. how do we keep out the enemy which is poverty? we build a wall and get paid for it) (actually do they get paid? anyway, another time), but!! she doesn't actually do anything to help the workers out of hadestown either. "well but plaudius that's not her job, she's doing what she can from her position" why yes! that's correct! i do not fault her for not being an underground railroad or something on this literal underground railroad! the thing is, though, when she's smuggling sunlight and rain water and all of that into hadestown and reintroducing herself to the workers (somebody ask me about that sometime, i have Thoughts), she explicitly sells it. she's not just distributing it, she's not a robin hood giving the wealth back to the people, she's a diamond company selling what is incredibly common and freely available. she's aloysius o'hare from o'hare air in the lorax (don't fucking come for me i watched that movie once and thought it diverged too much from the book) selling fucking AIR. "you want stars? i got a skyful. put a quarter in the slot, you'll get an eyeful. you want the moon? yeah i got her too, she's right here waiting in my pay-per-view"

persephone is explicitly profiting off of this! she claims she doesn't like how hades is running the underworld but she is too comfortable in her life to try to begin any real change in her society

equally fucked up alternate version of the orpheus and eurydice myth where i successfully bring the great love of my life back from the dead without looking back but the unresolved trauma of their death leaves me so scared of losing them a second time that i can't bear to look at them ever again
