#American #mythologies can colonize the minds of #Canadian #creatives. I believe that happened in one of the #novels by the #sciencefiction #writer #RobertJSawyer I explored in a recent #blog #post. doncurren.blogspot.com

Finally got my bumblebee cufflinks to wear with my @elfkin original.
In various #mythologies, bees are considered psychopomps, meaning they are believed to guide souls from the living world to the afterlife. This belief stems from their unique role in nature and their connection to both life and death, often symbolizing a bridge between the realms.
I’ll be doing some #deathwalking for my Bestie’s mom. She’s being laid to rest today. Not exactly where I thought I’d be debuting this look but 🤷♂️

✨ An Updated Barthes
Taylor Swift isn’t just a singer.
She’s the Showgirl who shows the Girl.Her Eras, her branding, her billions—each is myth made marketable.
She is both the product and the critique.My latest essay explores pop, performance, Jesus, capitalism, and the impossibility of the “ethical billionaire.”

📣 New Essay Just Dropped
"Side Effects May Include Myth"
A meditation on trust, advertising, psychiatric meds, and what Roland Barthes might say about the voice inside the box.I wrote it after a stay in a crisis center. It's raw, reflective, and a little angry.
Featuring:
💊 Pharma ads
🧠 Informed consent
📺 Media myth-making
🧼 Barthes on soap
🎨 Original artRead it here:

I spent time recently in a crisis center asking every day, “What is this pill? What does it actually do to me?”
Language gives the illusion of consent, but how many of us really know what we’re taking — or why?

But in League, the Nautilus is monstrous, otherworldly, beautiful. Even Moriarty has to steal its blueprints—it’s beyond what empire can produce.
This Nautilus isn’t part of the system. It refuses comfort. It’s awe. It’s a god-ship.
Barthes would’ve hated the film—but I think he’d respect this myth.

🦬 Barthes got it right. Steak isn’t just food — it’s a symbol.
How you order it says everything: blue-rare like bloodied prestige, or well-done like working-class caution. I see it behind the bar every night.
Barthes saw it in France. I see it in America.
Might write a full essay if folks are hungry for more.

Just read Barthes' “Wine and Milk.” As a bartender, I loved it. In France, wine is blood—ritual, identity, myth. In the U.S., we’ve cycled: wine as status, milk as strength, now water as virtue. Think hydro homies. Sparkling wine, sparkling water—crisp, clear, pure. Rituals change, but myth stays. Alcohol didn’t just accompany civilization—it may have created it. Imagine fermentation as the first anchor. 🍷🥛💧

That image’s still alive and well. Think Goodfellas. Think Pacino. The gangster doesn’t have to shoot — just reach. The pose does the talking.
Cool stays cool.

📖 Reading Barthes: “Garbo’s Face”
Today in Mythologies: Roland Barthes breaks down beauty not as essence, but as structure. Greta Garbo = conceptual, a Platonic ideal. Audrey Hepburn = substantial, modern presence. Think Jolie in Beowulf vs. Deschanel in indie cinema.
Beauty isn’t just seen—it’s coded.

“The narration is objective, but actually it rests on the pathetic collusion of white flesh and black skin, of innocence and cruelty, of spirituality and magic, beauty and beast. Civilization of the Soul subjects the barbarism of instinct.” — Roland Barthes, Bichon among the Blacks
Barthes wrote this in 1957 about a children’s comic strip.
Still chillingly relevant: how “neutral” stories smuggle in whole ideologies.#Barthes #Mythologies #BookReflections #Colonialism #CriticalTheory

Trump’s #WhiteNationalism and the #Future of #History
Being a #historian during Trump 2.0 is to witness a renewal of #debunked #mythologies and #outdated ideas made fresh by a state apparatus deeply invested in protecting the #historical reputation of #whiteness.

Is there evidence that hell is real? Should we believe in #God just out of fear of hell? Why in our stories do we create #heavens and #hells? Britt does a deep dive into the #psychological reasons we create heaven and hell and why hell is nothing to be scared of!

An addendum #introduction as I'm feeling a bit more courageous.
Very interested in #MentalHealth and #neurodivergence - currently on meds for anxiety & depression. Not officially diagnosed for ASD but a lot indicate that I fall within the spectrum.
I experience anxiety over #ClimateChange and do what I can as an individual to not add to the problem.
Love nature & my art reflects it -- #florals #mushrooms #insects #birds etc. Fascinated by #FairyTales and #Mythologies. Here is one recent #art.
