WE DONT GET TO KEEP THE BOOP BADGES?? People have started insurrections for less

[cockroachbait]

we, in fact,got to keep the boop badges and i don't know what came over me (if not the usual bout of exceptional stupidity)

[cockroachbait]

my autistic swag has gotten so pungent that people assume my parents are academics now

[horrorshow]

if there's one thing we can learn from this booping experience it's that we need to give people notes and interact with them for tumblr to be fun and thriving

[horrorshow]

"we need the boop button to stay" no we don't. tumblr already got lots of buttons to press every day. look at those beauties right here ↘

taking care of birds is so rewarding.

I come back from class to see the little pigeon I've been feeding at my window. I say omg hi beautiful boy how are you doing!! he looks at me, shits on the windowstill and flies away. my heart is filled with joy

[cockroachbait]

this is the beautiful boy in question. he fell from his nest two weeks ago and has been living in my building's courtyard ever since. his name is césarion because i found him around the ides of March and if anything ever happens to him I will burn the entire city to the ground

eveeyones got it wrong your mid 20s arent for going to the club or partying or picking up new crafts. your 20s are for discovering how much more autistic you are than you thought you were in high school

After hearing about the recent layoffs going on Dreamworks, I felt compelled to draw this in solidarity. Let’s hope that soon, the entertainment industry will learn to respect their animators.

Something I think ppl who aren't used to it struggle with when it comes to ancient history is that frequently 'we do not and cannot know this' is the only truthful response a historian can give. People severely overestimate how much we actually know about Ancient Rome.

I remember talking to someone at a party once about the debate over Septimius Severus's ethnicity (whole other can of worms) and they asked if genetic testing of his remains was not a way to settle it and I was like oh. Oh okay you are under the impression we have the physical remains of Roman emperors from the second century AD alright then. (We. Do not.)

[penny-anna]

Can't stress how much of high level study of Ancient History is devoted to trying to make sense of what actually factually happened. When I was at university (10+ years ago now) the discipline was embroiled in the lengthy and ongoing process of trying to unpack not just the biases in ancient sources but the centuries & centuries of biases within the field itself. I don't imagine this process is ever going to Stop. It's not uncommon for historical accounts to be so garbled & contradictory that it's not possible to reconstruct the real events behind them.

Once in an introductory lecture one of my professors was talking about this problem and articulated it very simply as 'we know real things happened between real people, but we aren't sure what they were'. Sums it up really!!

You need to draw and make art or else all the images will stay in your head and you'll get sick

This carbonized cradle is the only example of its kind from Roman antiquity that has come down to us. It was preserved by the eruption of Mt Vesuvius and it was discovered in Herculaneum with a tiny infant skeleton still inside.

I just want you all to know, that if and when this site does experience a real exodus and/or get sunsetted for good, even if we don't keep in touch I'll remember you so fondly. You're the online equivalent of the other kid on the beach where we built sandcastles together; the girl at the campsite where we explored the trees. You're the drunk person who shared kind words in the bathroom at the club, you're the talented artists at the life drawing class or the poetry night in a city where I don't live anymore. It makes me sad that maybe in the future our paths won't cross so easily, but even when we leave this little shared piece of cyberspace, carried away on our briefly intersecting trajectories, just know I still love you

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
