It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive

I know what a mirage is. My dermatologist said I had the strongest family profile for autoimmune disease she had ever seen. Christian. If you reblog a post of mine with a Tolkien or CS Lewis quote I'll block you. Header a comment my darling Lu made on a post of mine which. yeah. that's how it feels.

The real problem with 'not all men' is it reduces misogyny to something individuals pick rather than a systematic problem that lies at the heart of our societal structures. It's not, big picture, about changing the minds of the few bad eggs that happen to exist. It's about altering systems. Which also ties in with the fact that men who get very offended when women talk about patriarchal oppression are clearly taking it personally rather than understanding that they can be a good person and still benefit from oppressive systems, which then leads back to how the forced individualism of our current culture in the West has made people obsessed with the idea of moral purity as something individually obtainable and led to a refusal to see ourselves as being shaped by the structures we exist within.

generally you shouldn't write run-on sentences because they get confusing and it doesn't give the reader a break. that doesn't apply to me though my run-on sentences are fun and understandable and they have a rhythm to it that makes you want to keep reading

The amount of slavery in Ancient Rome was legitimately terrifying tbh

[what-even-is-thiss]

Y’all know that I’m into ancient Roman history and I do a lot of research on it but even though I should be used to it by now sometimes I read an anecdote about how an individual slave was treated and I’m hit with the realization that like a third of the population was living like that and I just need to put my head in my hands for a second

Emperor Hadrian randomly stabbed a slave in the eye in a fit of rage and he was supposedly unusually sympathetic to slaves.

There’s other instances of people randomly punching slaves that they didn’t even know because they got in their way or something. This was just normal behavior.

And slaves didn’t rebel en masse because if even one slave committed an act of violent rebellion it was common practice to kill every slave and former slave in the household.

People only took notice for posterity when these mass executions got into the hundreds of people. One of the few recorded for the history books is of over 400 people being killed because one guy stabbed his enslaver.

Like how many people throughout history were beaten to death because some rich asshole was angry and there was no legal or social consequences for doing so? We don’t know.

[what-even-is-thiss]

When you study ancient history you’re reminded that slavery has never once been kind or justified. It just takes on different forms of evil in every time and place that it infects.

"English being historically a series of various amalgamations rather than having one primary ancestor meaning it isn't always particularly standardized means it's a stupid language" you're stupid!!!! Appreciate the fluidity and diversity of vocabulary and sound offered to you!!!
