I don't remember finding fart jokes particularly funny even when I was a child.

[quasi-normalcy]

Five year old me, watching a movie with fart jokes: "Oh, how gauche. They're pandering to the lowest common denominator."

The fact that there are gods with disabilities make me so emotional. Hephaestus, Tyr, Hodr, Odin and other disabled deities just prove that being disabled is a vital part of the human experience, not a deviation from it, and that concept alone is so moving. Just like there are deities for specific human experiences like fertility or war, there are also deities with disabilities, which just proves that we have just as much of a place on this earth as mothers and warriors do. The idea of that has genuinely pulled me through some hard times.

Dionysus growing up with a bunch of satyr kids and they're all eating their fruit and veggies for lunch because they're herbivores while Dionysus is tearing into a raw steak marinated with ambrosia (growing gods need their supplements. it's like calcium for reptiles)

the current administration would totally fall for the Trojan horse. they'd take promo pictures of it on the white house lawn and the president would be on TV talking about how it's made of a big beautiful American lumber or some shit.

“I don’t like this expression “First World problems.” It is false and it is condescending. Yes, Nigerians struggle with floods or infant mortality. But these same Nigerians also deal with mundane and seemingly luxurious hassles. Connectivity issues on your BlackBerry, cost of car repair, how to sync your iPad, what brand of noodles to buy: Third World problems. All the silly stuff of life doesn’t disappear just because you’re black and live in a poorer country. People in the richer nations need a more robust sense of the lives being lived in the darker nations. Here’s a First World problem: the inability to see that others are as fully complex and as keen on technology and pleasure as you are.”

Before making big assumptions about the behaviors and wants of deities, please carefully examine your relationship with your parents and how they treated you.

not only did i forget about that one iliupersis cup where the pestle-wielding woman is inscribed as andromache with astyanax shielded behind her, and got suckerpunched once again by reading michael anderson's description of it

but then anderson points out how well the composition is balanced with neoptolemus wielding astyanax' corpse in a similar way on the opposite end of the cup

astyanax is alive at one end, dead at the other. we're seeing both andromache's desperate attempt to protect him and the tragic reveal that she couldn't.
