Mary Oliver, from “A Poetry Handbook” (published in 1994)

“Sorry I don’t want to spend my precious free time reading a 400 page Russian novel about depression”

“Film bros when you tell them you like having fun instead of watching a 1923 Greek film about divorce”

Okay so like I’ve already talked extensively about people who say this shit are largely shadowboxing against their insecurities about not having what they perceive to be elevated tastes rather than addressing any meaningful “gatekeeping” in the broad realm of media consumption as a whole, so rather than that I’d like to ask why everyone who says shit like this feels a need to emphasize the foreignness of a particular work as another aspect of how undesirable it is to engage with.

Like obviously these people are not literally saying “lmao I’d NEVER read a Russian/Greek/whatever book” but once you start noticing this you start seeing it everywhere and idk man! Not a fan

Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke’s Book of Hours: Love Poems to God [originally published 1905]

I’ve been having burning pain on different parts of my body since early january - on my back, my left hip, left thigh and now on my right arm and two of my right hand fingers. it’s so sensitive that just my shirt brushing on it hurts a lot and makes me want to not do anything.

im going to the doctor tomorrow and i’m afraid she’ll just dismiss it when it could be something kind of serious … maybe it’s nothing but it worries me a lot
