Just directed one of my younger friends to Written on Skin so I guess I am doing my part in corrupting the youth

#written on skin #opera #george benjamin #not one of my top faves exactly but it is one of the more compelling contemporary operas for me #and they were intrigued and I was like kiddo you have a ways to go before you really see how fucked up some of this shit is #wait till you get to Pelleas et Mèlisande #they aren’t even that much younger but like still in college so that’s a pretty significant experiential gap #also my genetic disorder aged me in dog years after I left undergrad

At First Light

Sir George Benjamin (31 gennaio 1960): At First Light per orchestra da camera (1982). The Stony Brook Contemporary Chamber Players, dir. William Blank. «&thinsp:In the Tate Gallery there is a late Turner oil painting, Norham Castle, Sunrise. The 12th century castle in this picture is silhouetted against a huge, golden sun.

When I was a little boy, the Japanese military attacked Pearl Harbor. It was a surprise attack, and thousands of U.S. servicemembers perished. As a nation, we were stunned. And we vowed to strike back. Revenge was understandably on everyone’s mind, including many Americans of Japanese descent who opposed the emperor and were peaceful and law-abiding U.S. citizens and residents.

In its zeal to exact that revenge, however, the U.S. government overreacted, out of fear and bigotry. They targeted everyone who happened to look like the people who had carried out the attack. Those of us who had done nothing wrong were forced to pay the consequences for the decisions of others far away and disconnected from us. We were interned for years, in open-air prisons, while America went off to fight Japan, Germany and Italy.

It’s so important that we carry the lessons of the past through to today. Merely because one group commits atrocities and acts with depravity does not mean vast hundreds of thousands or even millions of others should be lumped together with them and made to suffer. We must never paint with the brush of justice and retaliation too broadly, or the toll of human suffering will rise immeasurably.

—George Takei

“average star trek character has a normal relationship with their dad” factoid is actualy just statistical error. average star trek character is not on speaking terms with their dad. Fathers Benjamin, who lives on space station and has loving, mutually respectful relationships with both his son and his father, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Fraunces Tavern is one of the very few remaining colonial-era buildings in New York, and was the site of several historic moments, including Washington's farewell to his officers in 1783 and the Society of the Cincinnati dinner that Hamilton and Burr attended a week before the duel.

The long room where Washington had his farewell:

The museum also has letters by Washington and Nathan Hale.

And Ben Tallmadge's memoirs.

Along with, for some reason, a bit of Washington's hair.
