i have a question where is everyone finding info on luigi germi is it via paganini's letters to him, cause i'm not finding enough info i need MORE

[dearest-k16]

I'm not in the classical music fandom anymore, but there are a few biographies of Paganini available for free on the internet archive (archive.org), and some of them did talk about Germi somewhat detailedly (well, at least compared to other biographies that focus on his so-called "womanizing"..)

You have to make an account to "borrow" a book (basically gaining full access of it), though, and you have to re-borrow it after an hour.

Some of the ones I marked: (there should be a pretty good amount of stuff related to Germi in them. I think)

Nothing pisses me off as much as the genocide funding fast food chain trying to clean their name by putting up a banner claiming that they have donated a teeny tiny bit of their revenue to Palestinians

[colorisbyshe]

people are playing games of telephone with information about palestine and sometimes it's harmless and sometimes it's not.

no. all of the hospitals in gaza have NOT been destroyed. all of them have been ATTACKED, none of htem are fully functioning anymore, but, NO, they are not all fully destroyed.

tweets by palestinians mourning the safety of the last FULLY FUNCTIONING hospital have been misconstrued as "no hospitals are left" and that misunderstanding leads to a sense of hopelessness that can translate into less medical aid going through to the hospitals that remain--damaged, attacked, more vulnerable than ever before but still standing.

israel has destroyed a large amount of the FUNCTIONALITY of all 36 hospitals but doctors are still doing their best within many of them. and need aid, calls for support, power.

i am once again on my KNEES begging y'all to not just spread one sentence tweets about the state of gaza from people who are... not in gaza. i am asking you to do more work to verify the information you spread.

[colorisbyshe]

this combined with people's OBSESSION with only repping starbucks (not on the BDS list at all) and mcdonalds (which still isn't a priority boycott, even after the escalation) on the "boycott for palestine" front while supporting things BDS actively speaks against...

do y'all care or do you just want to feel morally superior for LOOKING like you care? please, please if you do actually care please actually look into the information you are spreading, especially when it is this dire

ID: "As of this week, none of Gaza's 36 hospitals are fully functioning, according to the WHO. Only 15 remain open with severely limited services, and many of them are so overwhelmed with casualties that they are running on 200 percent capacity." End ID.

There's this movie, the only things I remember about it are:

-3d movie

-probably from 2010s?

-female mc

-there's a scene where she frantically asks for keys to her parents, and when she got the keys she says "I love you mom, I love you dad"

If it turns out that somehow I made up this movie inside my mind I'm so sorry

[dearest-k16]

Anon here, I remembered what movie it is around like, 15 minutes after submitting the ask. It was Zootopia and the scene I was referring to was the one where Judy's about to apologize to Nick lol

Trick or treat 🧛🎃

Have this cat pic as a treat. (Idk how the whole trick or treating works I'm sorry)

WIBTA if I messed up the count's ritual on purpose so I could bring my partner back to life?

I (20sX) am a mage hired by the count (30s-40sM) who rules over my region to help find a cure for a plague that has been dooming all of us for quite a while.

There have been many victims of the plague, including my (soon no longer) deceased partner, and the count himself. As he grows more desperate, he asked me to perform a ritual involving the major arcana (like, the actual figures represented by the cards) which would transfer his soul and conscience to The Fool's body.

However, I have a better idea. What if I used the ritual to resurrect my partner instead? I mean, it's a selfish thing to do, but to do it for the count would be equally selfish thing on his side, and besides, he was the one who brought the plague here and no one actually liked his snobby, selfish ass, so.. would I really be the asshole if I were to bring my partner back to life by messing with the ritual and let that count die?

AITA?

Guys.

Y’all.

I…

I just. I just… i have discovered something. And I have laughed too much. I have laughed every time I have tried to explain it to someone. I cannot get through this.

Look. Okay.

There are two things you need to know, here.

First: There’s a style of Greek pottery that was popular during the Hellenic period, for which most of the surviving examples are from southern Italy. We call them ‘fish plates’ because, well, they’re plates, and they’re decorated with fish (and other marine life).

Like this one, currently in the Met:

Or this one, currently in the Cleveland Museum of Art:

They’re very cool. We’re not 100% sure what they were for, because most of the surviving ones were found as grave goods, but that’s a different post.

The second thing you need to know is that when we (Classics/archaeology/whatever as a discipline) have a collection of artefacts, like vases, sculptures, paintings, etc. and we do not know the name of the artist, but we’re pretty sure one artist made X, Y and Z artefacts, we come up with a name for that artist. There are a whole bunch of things that could be the source for the name, e.g. where we found most of their work (The Dipylon Master) or the potter with whom they worked (the Amasis Painter), a favourite theme (The Athena Painter), the Museum that ended up with the most famous thing they did (The Berlin Painter) or a notable aspect of their style. Like, say, The Eyebrow Painter.

Guess what kind of pottery the Eyebrow Painter made?

There's this mobile game that my mom installed sometime between 2015-2016, the game uses portrait orientation instead of landscape, the objective of the game is to memorize different maps and go through the routes with a boat, it was made by like, a charity for Alzheimer research I think? Game's in 3d

uhhhh tw for suicidal ideation ig

I wish somebody would talk to me first, or ask me about what happened instead of me being the one asking if I could talk about something, but the fact that I'm even writing this just reveals how much of a pathetic loser I am so I guess I'm better off dead
