i hate living in the uk!!!!!

Been staring at this line of Latin for ages and just can't seem to work out the scansion:

omnibus in morem tonsa coma pressa corona (Aeneid 5, Line 556)

Online scanned texts seem to have the final 'a' of coma as short to make it work, but how can it be if followed by 'pr'?

If someone who can actually do scansion sees this, I'd be super grateful for the answer

#only the goth club #which is a lot chiller #but still super overstimulating #it's great for the first hour #i get to do my weird dances to my fav tunes #and see other people in cool outfits #but after an hour it's just too much most of the time #wish i had more capacity to survive in these environments #but brain says no

That little pinch of salt is what really makes a jammy dodger. Exquisite. 🍪♥️

Hearing the English version of a song you've only heard in Simlish is such an odd experience. Like you're singing it wrong dude. The words are 'glorby fwib'

a cat just ran into my flat when i opened the front door to go shopping. it's not my cat. it's currently napping on my sofa. i'm too scared of getting scratched to try and make it leave. plus she's too cute to disturb. what do i doooo

to be clear she has done this before. And every time I'm too nervous to try and remove her so Her Majesty always gets to stay for as long as she likes. In fact she's notorious in the building for doing this a lot, particularly in winter. I guess either her house doesn't have a catflap or she just has no particular loyalty because she's happy to sleep anywhere that's warm.

she will sometimes sit on your lap which is lovely. I just feel bad because I sort of feel like I'm kidnapping her. Although really she's the one kidnapping us. Snoozing through her reign of cute fluffy terror

#like you're soooo cute but please. you can't stay here

#i feel like this is a standoff and she's winning #bf offered to go shopping instead so i could stay with her

adding yet another thing that insects on roman gems can do (which also includes riding in a chariot and gladiatorial combat): playing the double flute

making the oratorical gesture for sadness every time i say something today so everybody knows i'm the appropriate amount of sad over the loss of our chickpea

It's 2°C outside. My heating is broken. There's a hole in my front door.

my thing with veganism/vegetarianism is that i DO agree that large-scale meat industry produces a lot of cruelty and that boycotting it is a justifiable thing to do, but i fundamentally do not see a problem with the concept of eating meat.

strawberry-crocodile

the cow's not using the meat. if i don't eat it then a bunch of microbes will. or like... a dog.

strawberry-crocodile

not to be a redditor here but like... the nutrient cycle requires that someone break down that meat or the nutrients and energy are just going to be locked in this corpse indefinitely. someone's has to eat the meat, someone is going to eat the meat its just that bacteria and fungal hyphae and little maggots are all so small we perceive them eating as "decay". we are all a bunch of mammals running around breathing and shitting and shedding dander and the cow is already dead.

strawberry-crocodile

but also holy shit factory farms are evil

locutus-sum

Except the nutrients aren't just locked inside the cow anyway. There are millions of cows and pigs and chickens around the world because we chose to breed them and keep them to eat. We chose to farm tonnes of crops and then feed them to the animals to convert them into a more tasty form (very inefficiently, and at a high cost to the environment). If you believe there's nothing morally wrong with eating meat in itself, that's fine, but this argument doesn't make sense. That meat only exists because humans wanted it to.

#why waste so much energy defending the status quo #eat less meat

Cicero owners!!!

Make sure you get your senator a nice woolly hat this winter, they lose a lot of heat from their bald spots 😔 mine also wears a bell because if you let them roam free they can sometimes kill conspirators without a trial which is bad for the local population of disillusioned patricians

Disagreements over responsible cicero ownership already happening in the reblogs. Sheer poetry
