A few things abt tags:

Please don't tag my in one note one day posts. It's okay if you accidentally do, but I have all those tags blocked for a reason

I don't consistently tag stuff so please don't ask me to tag smth. It's just not a realistic thing for me rn and if I post abt smth you don't like just unfollow me, it's okay, do what's best for you. Just don't be rude abt it

*doom music starts to play* I actually kindof like scheduling these kinds of appointments now...

but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu

this has been a psa

A drawn and condensed excerpt from chapter 2 of @vinelark 's buy back the secrets

beloved piggyback ride scene from buy back the secrets by @vinelark who is AMAZING

“What did I say? When I…called?”

“You said, ‘Superboghlghdgh,’” Kon tells him. “I assume that’s when you hit the water.”

You know, if we DO make contact with aliens within the next hundred years-ish, enough people are going to give the Vulcan salute to the first alien they see in real life (whether out of quivering excitement, lol memeitude, or sheer awkward, panicked grasping for the one prominent alien greeting nested in the social conscious) that there's a solid chance that it becomes a thing we're known for as humans.

Live Long and Prosper, my friends.

Leonard Nimoy would openly, unironically weep with joy if that happened.

He helped develop the Vulcan salute based on what he saw certain people doing during services at his temple. The splayed fingers represent the Hebrew letter shin ש‎, and the men (I don’t know if they are rabbis) do it with both hands. It represents a blessing.

In an interview, Nimoy mentioned how delighted he was that people the world over greeted each other with “the Vulcan salute,” because it meant “they were going out and blessing each other.”

I’ve always been an atheist, but I still think it’s a lovely sentiment to greet someone with “May you have a long and bountiful life, and I wish for good things to happen to you.”

It's an excellent greeting.

It's non-threatening. You not only can't hold a weapon in that hand, the position itself is awkward enough to be useless for combat. It's not something that easily switches to a punch or strike.

It doesn't involve touch contact - avoids both cultural barriers to touch and problems of disease or incompatible skin types. (Don't have to shake the hand of the volcano aliens.)

It's clearly deliberate, unlike some kinds of bowing. And it can be mirrored by a wide range of body types, even if they don't have "hands" or "fingers" - an octopus-being that holds up a tentacle in response would be recognized.

And the sentiment it conveys (the Vulcan version; I have no idea about the original Jewish meaning) is likewise pretty universally acceptable.

It’s the Priestly Blessing (although in some Reform synagogues the rabbi will do it rather than calling up all congregants of priestly lineage to do it--i.e. everyone whose last name is Cohen or Katz or Kaplan or whatever is supposed to go up and collectively bless the community together).

The words match the oldest excerpt of the Bible found by archeologists, on amulets in grave goods dating from before the big redaction project that actually produced the Bible in its written forms. (NB: Jewish amulets usually take the form of written text; this is even more true in the modern era.) There is a real sense in which this blessing predates Jewish religion as we usually understand it.

The translation is “May HaShem bless and keep you, may HaShem’s face shine on you and show you favor, may HaShem lift his face to you and give you peace.”

In the Jewish religious context, “may HaShem bless and keep you” means, like, may God decide that you’re going to keep living a while longer. So the benediction literally means Live Long and Prosper in Peace.

"Can you build me hands?" the robot said.

"Why?" said the inventor. "Your grippers are stronger, more precise."

"Yes. But hands would be better for playing the piano."

"You can synthesize any sound."

"But I can not play music."

"Is there a difference?"

"I want to find out."

I love this comic!

asha-mage

The way that tumblr celebrates the Ides of March every year is so strange to me, because like.

The assassination of Julius Cesar is maybe one of the MOST controversial moments in western history. A thousand years later, Dante Alegari (who was Italian) when writing the Divine Comedy, reserves the deepest foulest pit of hell for Brutus, Casius and Judas, condemning them to be Satan’s eternal chew toys. Shakespeare devotes an entire play to how Julius Cesar is a complicated figure neither saint nor monster, and to how the assassin’s motives ranged from virtuous to petty and spiteful. To this DAY scholars and historians still argue about the actions of the assassins, spilling oceans of ink.

And yet all of tumblr seems to accept three things as undisputed fact:

That Julius Caesar was a dictator (true) and tyrant (debatable).

That the assassins, and Brutus in particular where righteous in the stabbing of him (A statement that would spark riots in any classical history department in any western country)

That the stabbing turned out great for everyone involved who was NOT Caesar (super super not true- it sparked off riots that nearly destroyed the city of Rome, and a Civil War that killed tens of thousands and nearly destroyed the country of Rome).

Every March 15th, this site throws a party and stubbornly insists that an event, a real historical event that unleashed untold chaos and death on the world, was actually just really cool and funny you guys: Caesar was a bad guy and his assassins where super cool, and that’s that.

And I get the memes are choice. But I think, we may collectively, be missing the point of this particular lesson of history.

much-the-millers-kid

This is a fair analysis, but also consider: I don’t think this celebration ever thought that much about the political implications. It started as a meme of a knife in a bottle of Caesar dressing. I know that’s probably frustrating for historians and classical literature fans, and maybe we should take it a bit more seriously.

That being said, you are possibly the first person to think that deeply about Tumblr’s view of this holiday. You made some claims about how Tumblr users view the historic event, and maybe it’s just because we’re in different circles, but I don’t usually see much thought. No one really talks about what Caesar conquered or how Brutus and the senate handled the aftermath, and no one really picks sides.

It’s more “beware the ides,” Caesar should’ve listened to his wife and stayed home, he ran into my knife 23 times even though there were supposed to be 60, “et tu Bruté,” Pizza Pizza with dressing and a side of salad.

The closest I’ve seen it get to serious is “Hey, any current senators want to be hilarious?” Which, fair, in that regard we maybe should think more about what the aftermath was and what a coup like that today would mean.

But also that gets drowned out in puns, edits of classic art, Mean Girls gifs, eyes of Marge, and the occasional acknowledgement of it also being a bad day across fictional history with Mr. Crocker losing his happiness, Marty McFly’s dad dying in the bad timeline, and even more if you get into some if the less universal fandoms (seriously, a few years ago I did a post trying to list them all, and I feel like every year a new one gets added).

Anyway, this was way too long of a comment where I said a whole lot of nothing, but also, that’s kinda what the Ides of March is: a lot of hype with little to no thought at all.

prismatic-bell

I think another factor here is that if you take the event out of context long enough to take a long view, it’s such absolute overkill. Over fifty people hated this one guy enough to stab the shit out of him, and at least half of them were really fucking bad at it. Yes, the repercussions were so severe we’re still dealing with them today, but the absolute absurdity of it is a form of dark humor. The plot to kill Caesar is like bringing in an Army tank to kill a squirrel and then only taking off its tail. It’s fucking ridiculous.

Add to this that the main formula for classic comedy is tragedy + time, and it’s absolutely ripe for the kind of cybermodernist dadaism this site specializes in.
