Black and White painting  by Bob Ross

one of my favorite kinda ridiculous rituals in ancient greece was the buphonia, a special athenian sacrifice during which an ox at work is slaughtered, which is technically considered an act of murder. now that wouldn’t be all that exciting in and of itself except that the knife used to slaughter the ox is then put on trial for murder, found guilty, and then gets thrown in the fucking sea

The fallen angel by Alexandre Cabanel

1868, Musée Fabre in Montpellier.

In the work we see the “fallen” angel – fallen from grace and banished by God.

There is a look of vengeance and anger in his eyes. He knows someone will pay for his ejection from the side of God. He retains his pride but thinks about retribution.

The subject shocked the exhibition jurists as no students had ever submitted from Rome a painting which featured the Devil.

my asshole cat once again comes to me and does his usual indications for “hey, there’s a problem I need you to fix, please help.”

because I love him and he is weirdly smart and actually really good at figuring out problems and getting help (like when he lets me know the bird feeder is empty because he wants to watch the birds) I trustingly get up and follow him.

he reaches the window, outside of which is a thunderstorm. he is very afraid of thunderstorms, and normally does not go anywhere near the windows when they happen. upon reaching the window he indicates in his usual fashion, “here is the problem, please fix it.”

no idea whether to be flattered and endeared that my cat thinks I control the weather, or frustrated because my cat is now mad at me for refusing to control the weather on his behalf. this is the second time this has happened.
