An Open Discussion

i picked up Brave New World by Aldous Huxley today for my literature class, and i was curious to hear some of yalls thoughts about the strange and honestly sort of twisted way the Lost Generation authors and artists handled the horrors of WW1, followed by the prosperity of the 20s, only to then be plunged back into turmoil and darkness for much of the 30s and 40s, and over and over this cycle repeats (especially in american history, unfortunately i cant speak much on other countries). if youve read Brave New World feel free to add any extra insight, but if not then you're still welcome to add to the discussion <:

disclaimer: this book was published in 1931, so no, it probably doesn't have a tumblr seal of approval. proceed with this understanding and we'll have ourselves a gay old time. we (as a human collective) can read old literature and criticize it and know we know better now, but we dont have to burn it or throw it away, it's still important to learn and read.

Gone with the Wind (1939)

my kid brother showed me a 1899 short film called "Stealing a Dinner" if any of yall are curious to go watch it (warnings for fake gun, police reference, and sort of animal abuse)

An archivist found a long forgotten 8mm film reel in an old metal box, marked "Philippines 1942". Thinking it was lost WWII footage, he sent it in to be restored/digitized. When he got the footage back, he found puppies instead (via)
