@anthropologist-on-the-loose get peer-reviewed because your shared experience with the subject of the painting really heightened the emotional impact of this artwork for me ( An impact which was already high tbh. The idea that Pompeii was built by generations, buried by generations, uncovered by generations. What if I just started screaming and never stopped. )

"Built by generations, buried by generations, uncovered by generations" is ruining me, thanks

It’s all well and good to tempt people into military service by promising them that they can get a free farm when they’re done but the problem is that you’ve actually gotta give all of them a farm afterwards or else you have a bunch of very angry and combat hardened mass of people with zero farming chores to distract them away from cutting off your face.

When reading about ancient Roman politics you wouldn’t believe just how much of it revolves around this exact thing happening over and over again.

[what-even-is-thiss]

The nobility doesn’t want to join the army anymore. Solution? Get poor people. What do poor people want? Farmland. Give them farmland for service.

Problem. Now we need to get farmland from somewhere. Uh. Take it from the rich people who aren’t even using it.

Wait a minute those rich people have political power and now somebody is getting beaten to death with a chair leg again.

in this dark age of censorship, remember that if ovid managed to stay a pervert during the moralising tyranny of the augustan age, you can do the same now. don't worry about what happened to him next

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

don't know who needs to hear this but gender non-conformity is not only for trans people. cis women can wear binders and packers. cis men can wear breast forms and tuck. cis women can use he/him pronouns and cis men can use she/her pronouns. anyone can use they/them pronouns or neopronouns. anyone can dress fem or masc regardless of gender identity. anyone can take hormones and get surgeries even if it doesn't match the 'normal' presentation for their gender. all the rules about gender are fake and you can do what you want. gender isn't some finite resource. do whatever the fuck makes you comfortable.
