Sufjan Stevens | The Only Thing
The only thing that keeps me from driving this car
Half-light, jack knife, into the canyon at night
Signs and wonders, Perseus aligned with the skull
Slain Medusa, Pegasus alight from us all
Do I care if I survive this? Bury the dead where they’re found
In a veil of great surprises, I wonder
Did you love me at all?
The only thing that keeps me from cutting my arm
Cross hatch, warm bath, Holiday Inn after dark
Signs and wonders, water stain riding the wall
Daniel’s message; blood of the moon on us all
Do I care if I despise this? Nothing else matters, I know
In a veil of great disguises, how do I live with your ghost?
Should I tear my eyes out now? Everything I see, returns to you somehow
Should I tear my heart out now? Everything I feel, returns to you somehow
I want to save you from your sorrow

Ursula K. Le Guin once said that “[t]o use the world well, to be able to stop wasting it and our time in it, we need to relearn our being in it.” Crucially, Nausicaä imagines a new way of being in the world by radically reframing our relation to it and our understanding of it. Instead of a desert, the inhospitable environment in Nausicaä is known as the Sea of Decay. But far from a dying and deadened milieu, the Sea of Decay is in fact brimming with life. This is hardly ironic but for a dominant binary and linear ontology around life and death. The living and the dead are not fixed in a binary but bound together in an intimate, dynamic, circling dance. Decay and regeneration are two sides of the same coin. Reflecting on when he moved to the Yanase River, Miyazaki recalls, “The river was more like a polluted ditch, filled with leeches and midge larvae. I was amazed by how noble these midges were and impressed that they would live in such a place.” The Sea of Decay, teeming with life, is arguably the site of some of the most luxuriant and resplendent imagery in all of Miyazaki’s films.

tv shows with time travel organizations/bureaus/police/agencies/whatever should have a department with instead of a tech genius eating candy, it’s a harried seamstress or fashion designer who is like
“1450 italy? does it look like I have the time to dye you wool? nO. YOU’RE GOING TO THE 1980s”
and throws shoulder pads at the hapless time agent

Victorian and Edwardian Hairstyles:
The picture is from this site (please visit it - there is so much more about hairstyles there!):
What kind of hairstyle do you think Montgomery's heroines wore?
I think Valancy wanted to put her hair in the Greek Hairstyle, but had to wear it in Everyday Pompadour. Later, she had it cut and that was HER best hairstyle.
Emily was said to "wear her hair low" when most women wore it up, so maybe "Madonna coiffure" or "with covered ears" or "Dip Pompadour" (I don't really like "Low Pompadour" picture, though, but it seems to suit "a low" hairstyle).
And I can definitely see Anne in "Madonna Coiffure", "Coronet Hairstyle", "Soft Pompadour".
