Really sucks how Agamemnon is typically portrayed as a monster in most modern-ish Iliad retellings in order to make Achilles’ anger seem more justified. Feel like in trying to make Achilles more of a modern hero many forget that his anger was meant to be a warning to readers, not some sort of admirable trait. Pretty much every major character in the Iliad is morally gray (They’re killing people for their pride for god’s sake) and the flanderization that these characters have gone through throughout the thousands of years they’ve existed for should REALLY be analyzed.

(I might do that later actually)

As we celebrate the Ides of March let’s appreciate Caesar’s other bestie, Mark Antony. The man who truly showed me the meaning of Gaslight and Girlboss.

how funny would it be if socrates never said any of that and plato was just lying

What she says: im fine

What she means: the average age of conception over the past 250k years is apparently 26.9. Let's round it down to 25. Think of your birth mother. Hold her hand. Imagine her holding hands with her mother. Within 4 people, you're back in time 100 years, and it's an intimate family dinner. Just after WWI. Add another 16 people, a small party of 20, and you're in the 1500s. Double it, twice, and you're at 80 people. Your family would fill a restaurant, and you're at the height of the Roman empire. At 100 people, Confucius is alive but Socrates has not yet been born. 100 people. That's a medium sized wedding. A small lecture theatre or concert. 200 people, probably the biggest party i could ever hope to host, takes you back 5000 years. The guests at your soirée of parents would be contemporaries of the Egyptian and Indus Valley civilisations, although you'd probably be too busy fixing drinks and nibbles to talk to all of them. Just imagine it. 200 of you. That's all it takes to get back 5,000 years. And we could go further. 1000 people, a decent sized concert, a large high school, and we're at the end of the last ice age. Your ancestors are comparing their pink floyd vinyl with music played on instruments carved from wood or bones of long vanished species. Wander through the crowd. See your own features and phrases and gestures refract out like a kaleidoscope. What would they make of you? What do you make of them? Why does it feel so unfair that even that first 100 years --that small family dinner of four--is out of your grasp? Maybe it's because questions of spatial distance have become negligible to us now. why, oh why, does time hold out against us so stubbornly

fyi the point of fucking up your data patterns isnt to avoid suspicion. it’s to make EVERYONE suspicious. same logic as the bloc, pals.  protect your comrades, be suspicious. ESPECIALLY if you aren’t doing anything likely to get you arrested.

this is gonna sound really bitchy but some people really need to learn to realize when someone isn't talking to them. if you don't like beans then the lady posting a bean soup recipe isn't fucking talking to you. if you dont like reading then the people who post about the books they're reading aren't fucking talking to you.

I wanna start saying "not you, rabbit ears" bc that's what my dad always said growing up but idk if the tone will come across.

How am I supposed to just go about my day knowing I will never be an old man with a big curly beard engaging in intense iliad ship discourse at my friend's symposium (he's also an old man with a big curly beard and his job is annoying people)
