YESSSSSS Kris deserves her old egg and extreme speed drratini! I also absolutely love seeing her paired up with furret a s wooper/quagsire.

I do like getting to see Lyra with gyarads and umbreon instead of them going to Ethan all the time.

Also, Silver deserves to have a more unique team than WHAT EVERY OTHER TRAINER HAS (why does everyone and their mother have to have gengar, alakazam, and crobat are you fuxking kidding me gamefreak? Give people different ghost, psychic, and friendship evolution pokémon)!!!

I love the arm bands you have him, as well as thr hanging suspenders. The little diamond pattern and the emblem being on his pants work so well!

Real (albeit stylized) dinosaurs next to Pokemon is a somewhat jarring feeling g I can’t put my finger on.

i need non-jews to realise that the recent rise in antisemitism isn’t strange or weird or unprecedented it’s because people just like you never unpacked the antisemitic biases in their mentality and society and continue not to attempt to. you need to listen to jews - read our books and engage with our issues and listen to us when we say things. i don’t care how much you hate nazis, you MUST be willing to deconstruct the antisemitism YOU HAVE INTERNALISED or sighing about how tragic the rise in antisemitism with no action whatsoever is is worse than nothing

a lot about beauty standards have nothing to do with beauty, and maybe you're thinking "that's obvious" or "we are all programmed to view certain things positively and certain things negatively by our culture" and "fatness was commonly considered beautiful in the middle ages" and "pink was for boys and blue was for girls and men wore heels" and yes, that's what I mean, but I also mean as a fundamental approach to visual information, beauty standards imply an assessment that judges whether something is up to par and pre-supposes it can fail. And I just.

One day I was at my high school, and decided to look for beauty in everyone, and I found beauty in everyone. And I don't mean I forced myself to find a positive in a sea of negatives- I mean that before long, I was walking the hallway at recess taken aback at how beautiful every single person was. I stopped actively doing that because I kept staring because I was fascinated with everyone.

Once I painted a portrait of somebody considered to be quite ugly by my family, and when I had finished the painting they kept remarking that this person suddenly, inexplicably, looked beautiful on canvas while being the same person- and I didn't know how to explain that I couldn't have painted this person while thinking they were ugly- that in the study of their feaures I found beauty, and so the painting was not done until it reflected what I saw.

So when I am watching a movie, or a show, or anything, and I see a beautiful person, and someone besides me says something like "They are not pretty enough" or "but that person is so ugly," and I analyze the image before me and I can't even figure out what beauty standard, exactly, they offended by existing as they were, I realize that I am simply not approaching beauty like there is a specific thing that must be acomplished, like I'm in jury duty and the person is on trial- I just appreciate what I see. And the person beside me is not doing that. They are doing something completely different.

Somehow, at some point, beauty was tied to attractiveness, and uniqueness, and prestigue, and we stopped perceiving the beauty in anything that was not signifying either of those three other things.

blog that has things like “biblical womanhood 💗” and “traditional femininity 🥰” in their bio and it just has images of women cutting off heads and stuff

[joaniam]

Back when my Very Catholic Grandma was still with us, she used to have EWTN on aaaalllllll the time. And I was doing some cleaning at her house and EWTN was doing an episode of something where this lady was VERY enthusiastically talking about "head crushing women" from the bible So I sat on the couch while Grandma dozed off watching this lady talk about women crushing mens' heads in with tent posts while being very very chipper about it.

The boulder pushing punishment is iconic. But I think more people should know the reason Sisyphus was punished to begin with, which was for cheating death, twice.

The first time he cheated death, Sisyphus had just angered Zeus by revealing the location of the Asopid Aegina whom Zeus abducted. Which is super valid, fuck Zeus.

Sisyphus knew that Zeus would send the god of death Thanatos after him, so he prepared a trap and trapped Thanatos in the chains meant for him.

After that, nothing on Earth was able to die so long as Thanatos was in chains. Which meant no animals could be sacrificed to the gods. This angered the gods, who made Sisyphus' life so miserable with pain and illness that he would beg for death. And so he released Thanatos.

But then came the second time Sisyphus cheated death. As he was dying, he asked his wife to dump his naked corpse in the middle of the public square. Denied a proper burial, his soul ended up on the far side of the river Styx, unable to cross.

He complained to Hades and Persephone about how his wife disrespected him, and begged them to let him return briefly to the world of the living to scold her and make her bury him properly. They agreed, and Sisyphus returned to life. He then embraced his wife, and refused to return to the Underworld.

It's only when he finally died of old age that he was sent to Tartarus and punished with the boulder.

I don't remember where I've seen it, but I like the interpretation that Sisyphus doesn't have to push the boulder. He can choose to stay in Tartarus and rest. But he was promised that if he managed to push the boulder to the top of the mountain, he'll ascend to Elysium.

And Sisyphus, in his stubbornness and cleverness, refuses to give up on a challenge.

One must indeed imagine Sisyphus happy, planning and scheming about how he'll cheat the gods next.
