i tried explaining to this girl at a party once how i could be gay and asexual at the same time and it basically boils down to never being into anyone but like once a year i’ll find a man attractive. and she was like “so what am i if i only like girls, and i’ve never found any of my boyfriends attractive and and i just wanna do cocaine all the time?” i was like “you’re a lesbian with a coke addiction?” and she was like “woooooah”. she broke up with her boyfriend that night and had a threesome with two girls in the bathtub. rebecca if you’re out there, i hope you’re going places. well, not far, since you’re electronically tagged. but spiritually.

"only 90s kids remember-" wrong, if you're poor and/or rural enough, old tech and fashion doesn't just disappear when it stops being trendy. We had dial-up until 2012

Marble statue of Demeter-Ceres, found at the ancient roman villa of "La Malena", in Azuara (province of Zaragoza, Aragon). It is commonly dated in IV century c.e but some old publications said that could be from the II century c.e Previously identified as Athena-Onka. Now at the Museum of Zaragoza.

Athena

The armor Athena's wearing is a Mycenaean one, based in the reconstructions of Dimitrios Katsikis. The cape is Libyan and it appears in the Egyptian Book of Gates from the Tomb of Seti I. In this case, the pattern was altered to resemble olive branches, as the olive tree is one of Athena's symbols.

Her arm tattoo is also Ancient Libyan and from that source, while the face tattoo is a modern femenine Amazigh one. They are a reference to Athena's North African origin, that is one of the explanations given for her archaic epithet, "Athena Tritogeneia".

We can see that epithet in Homer's Iliad, Odyssey and Hymns, and in Hesiod's Theogony. Because its meaning is uncertain, some authors link it to Lake Tritonis, in ancient Libya (maybe Chott el Djerid, modern-day Tunisia), home of the Hesperian Amazons according to Diodorus Siculus.

Her eyes are light, as stated by Homer in the Iliad and by Lucian in the Dialogues of the Gods. Lucian adds that they are scary and match her helmet's color.

The helmet itself is a Mycenaean one based in those of Dimitrios Katsikis, combined with classical representations of Athena Parthenos, like the one from the Parthenon, where she also shows another one of her attributes: the spear.

The triple crest is also mentioned in Homer's Iliad and the triangular front is typical of her sculptures.

Each crest represents one of her attributes: the horse of Athena Hippeia (that crest is inspired by Alan Lee's illustration of Penthesilea), the famous owl from the more famous Athenian drachm.

And the sphinx crest that appears in a lot of sculptural representations of her.

The exception is cheesy local commercials. Those should be the only ads. I will listen to someone who runs a store in my city doing an awkward rap. We once had a furniture store with these awful CGI ads and the slogan "where the deals are so low, it's almost criminal!" and then they got shut down, by the cops, because it turned out. It turned out the deals were so low because. You're not going to believe this but the prices were so low it was in fact

There was recently a copyright infringement case in YA and I need everyone to know that the following sentence was in the legal decision:

“Hot, sexy, dangerous boys, central to virtually all young adult romance novels, cannot be copyrighted.”

“Regarding setting, the court held that both works taking place in Alaska high schools was not protectable because Alaska is a public place and setting a teen novel in a high school is a common genre convention.”
