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.

#it's been almost 3 years since that happened and yet i still rotate that moment in my head like a rotisserie chicken #'everything but a lover'.... what a terribly intimate thing to say about another person #like isn't that more romantic than actually being someone's partner??? they are everything to you but a romantic interest #wow... they are your friend your brother the little butterflies in your stomach... everything and anything but a lover #because like you can live without a lover but can you live without the tender smile your friend gives you when something good happens? #can you live without the hugs and the shared podiums and the shared dreams and greece? #also imagine lewis coming home and eciding to watch a recap of the race and then crofty just says this... like what the fuck do you even sa #i just /know/ that the industry is scheming to bring them back together again bc what else could this have been? #david croft #lewis hamilton #nico rosberg #brocedes #f1

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"

#working on my thesis gonna bring down the mood of the whole department #but i feel like i have to honor them #and the thing about malaria that fucks me up is P. falciparum has been around for tens of thousands of years #its not a disease of agriculture like smallpox or of sanitary issues that come with civilization like typhoid #it predates agriculture its been found in the bodies of mummies from ancient egypt and skeletons from ancient greece and rome #there are species-specific plasmodium parasites for gorrillas chimpanzees and humans #which to me indicates there was a plasmodium parasite for every now lost hominid #malaria is the strongest recent evolutionary pressure on the human genome #upwards of 30% of people in some parts of the world are heterozygous for sickle cell anemia #or heterozygous for SE asian ovalocytosis #thus it was more evolutionarily advantageous for 2-3% of all children to die #so about 30% of people could be protected from severe malaria #these mutations take a long time to evolve. parasites take a long time to evolve #there are people who mourned their infants tens of thousands of years ago in languages we will never know with rituals we will never see #and i cant do anything about any of that but i can keep going to the lab every day and trying my best to figure it out #because so many generations of humans stretching back to before we were human could not

*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 :)))"

#mostly because... thats quite literally how ive been groomed lol #maybe if the e villious fandom werent so hostile to ma fans i wouldntve ended up relying on tamara #as one of the few 'safe' adults #like ofc the whole thing is tamara and linda's fault and tamara and linda's fault alone but like- #they actively created the perfect ground for me and my friends grooming yknow?? #anyways. as you can see i have been thinking a lot about all of that in this last year #during the trip to greece i finally ended up talking about it with someone i know irl and honestly? that was fucking liberating

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.

#greece #come live your dream in greece #wildfires #“wild” fires #when do you stop calling them wild? when they start burning in omonoia square? #when i say houses i don't mean the villas btw #those can burn to the ground #a good majority of our forest fires are just so bastards can buy land and build their “summer retreat” away from us plebs #every time i say i don't care about this country but every time i get furious at the incompetence and lack of preparation #ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS YEAR AFTER FUCKING YEAR #if it was just villas i wouldn't give half a shit #but this is also trees and animals and actual fucking houses where people live(d) year-around

every time i see someone perpetuating the absolutely brainless idea that the entire african continent was just sitting around and wallowing in the dirt before europeans arrived i want to take that person and put them in the pear wiggler until they turn into fucking mud

#shut the actual fuck up #there are african countries that border the mediterranean sea #there were african countries that were direct contemporaries to your beloved greece and rome #look at a MAP #read a BOOK #the first european doctor to perform a successful c-section in africa did so years after local doctors were observed doing so #all of africa has history completely divorced from europeans #all of it #you just can't be fucking bothered to learn it

do you ever just. decide to check out ao3 for a new ship and realize that all of the top fics absolutely suck

#why do so many fics make up an age difference…. Peter and wade are the same age?? #maybe not the same year but probably pretty fucking close #like spider-man existed before Deadpool did #not to mention the overuse of a nickname that showed up in ONE panel. ONE #he calls him webs! not that! how many comics have these people actually read? #also the babyification of Peter Parker sucks so bad #like are y’all from Ancient Greece? why are you squishing canon to fit this specific mold? it’s not even a good one??? #the APPEAL of the ship is that they’re evenly matched like GOD please stop #also PETER PARKER DOESN’T DRINK everyone keeps getting that wrong! #he’s said it so many times!! #not to mention WHEN THEY FORGET THE HYPHEN #I can’t. just can’t.

the fact that people own ipads sounds fake to me

#🧅 #LIKE THAT IS 1000 DOLLARS AT LEAST #i've been saving up for seven years i am not kidding you and i havent managed to make that amount of money #and i keep saying that some day when i dont have exams and i dont have university i'll have the time to work an actual job that i;m not #called in once a month i might afford it but then i'll have pay bills so i still will not have that amount of money #technically for the next five years it's illegal for people to employ me because i'm in uni. which is. i'm a fucking idiot for signing up t #the university i got into this year without going and take exams again just so i can get student packs cause i dont even fucking use them #and i can't be legally employed. AND i've lost a year where i'm allowed student packs while i'll definitely need them when i ACTUALLY go to #university #i have zero money. well i have my savings but i am not fucking touching that ever because i'll move out next year and i'd like to not #actually have zero money #and like. greece is super based for free university and good on them. the way you get into said university is super fucked and impossible #bur whatever free university. BUT LIKE. why can i not work #not legally at least. i can still work and be payed without being officially hired but then than work won't count in any future subsidies #i'll definitely have because i literally wan to study theatre i'll be unemployed forever. #and i fucking hate it here #and this post was actually just meant to be about how expensive ipads are. but now its this whole rant.

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.

#personal #greece #trans #“move in somewhere in europe” #most countries that would take me are like greece #and the ones that are safe are rich meaning i can't go there with the education i have cause i'll find no fucking job #and getting an actual good education costs money and time i don't have #you think i haven't been fucking trying? #FOR YEARS?? #ooh whatever #sorry
