I had a professor in college who used to start solving every problem with the same dialogue.

Proff: What’s the first step to solving any problem? Class: Don’t panic. Proff: And why is that? Class: Because we know more than we think we do.

I think about that a lot tbh. It didn’t occur to me until much later that he meant for us to apply that dialogue outside of the classroom to any problem. Because we always know more than we think we do. We are all an amalgam of random information that ends up being relevant with surprising frequency.

man i’m so tired of half of the media i see about ancient greece and rome being about violence and war and politics. can i just get one silly lesbian romcom about a woman praying to aphrodite for help getting over her bad breakup, leading to her and aphrodite getting into ridiculous romantic hijinks together until they eventually fall in love?

Honestly it's not that bad as it sounds. It takes the eagles about 2 hours to get to my liver and another 2 to eat it. The whole ordeal is over by one and I've got the afternoon to myself.

I love assassins creed odyssey but I will never forgive it for teaching me the modern greek pronounciation of ancient greek locations...no anglophone scholar takes me seriously when I say “vee-o-tía” instead of beotia... the modern greek just sounds so much better 😭😭
