@margot and I were talking the other day about how cool it is that we can celebrate the solstice for the exact same reason that humans have done for countless generations: because we're sick to fuck of it being so goddamn dark all the time

my ancestors, unsophisticated rubes, when they thought the sun god had reached a turning point in their eternal war against the moon god: oh thank fucking christ
me, cool modern genius, when I know the earth is starting the half of its orbit where it starts tilting back northward again: oh thank fucking christ
And we still feel this way ever though we light up entire regions like a car lot and also mostly sit indoors staring into illuminated screens day and night! We still miss the sun!
