My Gods, I love you @devotionaldumbassery - Tumblr Blog

Just a reminder as my blog is getting bigger, I am an adult. Minors 16+ are free to follow and interact in a friendly way but please be respectful of not just the Gods but also my age. I will block you if I feel like I need to, for my comfort.

Also other adults please don't be creepy.

Every time there's a big writer's strike or whatnot it becomes starkly clear how many self-proclaimed leftists think that only people who perform manual labour which results in a physical product that you can hold in your hands count as workers and everybody else is a parasite of some description.

tumblr isn’t considered a social media because everyone on here is just talking to themselves

In case anyone wonders, this is what Greek pottery paintings with front facing figures look like.

I personally think sticking to side profiles was a great decision on their part.

This is what it means when you say ‘it takes a village’ it’s kindness, help, and guidance. This helps not only the student, but the caregiver as well. We should all be more like this teacher. There is always room for a little more kindness, especially when it comes to children

My kids’ school called today, and I was afraid my daughter had gotten in trouble during her summer program, but it was something similar to this instead. They called to ask if there were any big changes during the summer that they should keep an eye on them about. They also asked if we wanted them to send us some resources to help them deal with the grief we’re all still struggling with from my younger brother passing back in February (It’s a lot of the same office ladies from when I was in school, and one of the teachers is a friend of mine. They know how hard it is to find childrens’ counseling near us that takes insurance.) I got off the phone with literal tears in my eyes.

Apollo and Artemis :D This is part of a drawing I'm working on, but I like their designs, especially Artemis'

Hera: you know, humans aren’t all bad. Maybe they can even be good!

Hera, during the events of the Trojan war: Never mind I hope you all die.

Today I spotted a Robin nest in one of the apple trees. It looked fresh and had no eggs in it so I decided to take a chance and put a Birdsy camera there. It was so cute to see the bird sing while in the nest.⁠

Apollo and gentleness

I really love when I come across instances that emphasize Apollo's gentleness. The first time I came across something like that was in the Iliad:

Even though Apollo is a terrifying deity in the Iliad, his arrows are called gentle - indicating that he brings gentle deaths to people (I have also seen "gentle shafts" get translated as "painless arrows")

His gentle arrows are mentioned again twice in Homer's Odyssey as well:

Later on, I also came across Pindar describing Apollo as the god who is the most gentle towards humans by Pindar (Plutarch is the one quoting Pindar in the first ss)
