nah because crofty is genuinely insane because why would you say that about your coworker???? and to his face??? "this man knows lewis hamilton. friends, teammates, childhood buddies, rivals, everything but a lover." hello???? why are you saying that to nico rosberg's face???? why are you, as the lead f1 commentator, writing fanfiction about your coworker???? about him and his ex???? and also, what an insane thing to say about someone else's relationship!!! "everything but a lover"... just show them having gay sex onscreen, it would be less intimate than whatever the hell you just said.

today im thinking about malaria in ancient rome.
about the fact that P. falciparum (the most dangerous kind of malaria) was likely endemic at least from the 2nd century BC onward
that Galen said semitertian fevers (P. falciparum infections) were more common in Rome than anywhere else in the Roman Empire
that the most severe manifestations of P. falciparum (quotidian fevers + cerebral malaria) were most common in babies and young children, an epidemiological observation that indicates the transmission rate of P. falciparum was extremely high in Rome
that Quintus Serenus said there was no Latin word for semitertian fevers (they used a transliteration of the Greek, 'hemitritaeos') because "no one, i think, could have named it in our language and mothers would not have wanted to"

*Demeter acompaning Artemis to one of her hunts*
Demeter: Am I to old to be here?
Artemis: What?
Demeter: I'm too old to be here, aren't I?
Artemis: No. OF course not.
Demeter: Does it look weird that I'm here. I look like an old aunt.
Artemis: No, not at all.
Demeter: Am I hotter than your bitches?
Artemis: You look amazing Auntie Dem.

Agree with the antis thinking that liking certain characters exposes you more to grooming but in the complete opposite way (antis have spent their time shunning so much fans of certain characters and making fandom spaces inhabitable for them to the point where some minor who likes that character will be more susceptible to grooming made by people who say "oh i like that character too! We're only us two against the world :)))"

I feel desensitised at this point, cause this is happening every fucking summer, but might as well make a post.
Attica is on fire again. This time houses were burned in less than a day. At least one stray shelter was burned before they could get the animals out. I don't even want to think how many other animals, wild or not, didn't (and won't) make it. At least, as far as I know, we don't have any human casualties (yet).
Fires have been burning in neighbourhoods and houses since yesterday and given how we're going to have yet another heatwave from tomorrow, things are looking great.
But hey. At least in a couple years, when most folks would have forgotten this, look how many more villas will pop up in those places.
There was a rich boy bitching how no firefighters were by his villa. Motherfucker, this is how you bought the land and build on it, taste your own medicine for once.
And we're still hiring more and more cops.
Within NATO, Greece is #3 (#1 in 2022 (higher than the fucking USA)) in military spending per GDP (x), as if our main enemy isn't in the same fucking alliance.
Meanwhile, our firefighters are constantly understaffed. Meanwhile, we're having yearly fires basically inside the country's capital, with more and more houses being burned each time.
But that's no reason to buy more firefighting planes, helis and general firefighting equipment. That's no reason to focus on firefighter training and recruitment.
No, no. See, we just need more cops and more army funding. Oh, oh, and don't forget the priests. We should never forget the fucking priests.
Gonna fight the fires with bullets, bombs and prayers.

A trans woman was stabbed to death in her own house on Monday/Sunday night. In. Her. House. (x) (x) <- greek news links
Her name was Anna and situations like hers are what make me wish there is actually something after death, so she can be somewhere peaceful.
But here? There's no safety or peacefulness here. Just isn't. And it's only going to get worse as Greece is going more and more openly to the far right.
I don't know what to do.
