Jewish | AnCom | Anti-Zionist | Linguist There are 2 wolves inside me, one is a lesbian partisan in Greece who is destined for war-herodom and a peaceful several decades of extreme queerness after the war. The other is Art Spiegelman sitting shiva in whatever remains of his father's childhood home. 🏳️‍🌈🇿🇦🇵🇸

If anyone would like to read a thorough take down of Sparta as a state not worth emulating, then ive got just the series of articles for you!

[heroineimages]

Reblogging because pissing on Sparta is one of my hobbies. And yes, totally check out the link above. Brett has a lot of great discussion and scholarship on why Sparta was proto-fascist garbage, and he presents it with both snark and accessibility.

[fierceawakening]

Holy shit. That’s… that’s worse than I thought it would be. Yikes.

[doctorjanedee]

Reblogging because more people should read the ACOUP Sparta takedown and fewer people should get their concept of history from fucking 300.

[fierceawakening]

No one should get their concept of history from 300, and I say that as someone who enjoyed 300. 300 is a comicbookification of a legend, and legends are already exaggerations.

A Great Divorce has also done an audio version of the ACOUP Spart takedown if audio is easier for you!

[re-the-bear]

The tweets (Fuck Elon it's still tweeting) fail to notice that the fucking marble is what endures. Sparta may have had men, but it's Athens that still stands as the seat of power. So who won after the dust settled? Athens. Be so fucking for real.

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Don't become a housewife.

Having a Minotaur Boyfriend would be so fucking funny

Like imagine crying on the couch and you hear his thunderous, big body SUV built ass footsteps approach you.

"Baby, what's wrong," he says tenderly as he rubs your shoulder.

You look up to explain how bad your day was with tears in your eyes and you fucking see this:

I made a small drabble based on this

saw someone trying to roast this guy on reddit but all the comments were just like "fuck off, that's based"

[augustdementhe]

FUCK YEAH.

Luxurious artwork cheapened by meta commentary about its own success

Profound script undercut by sponsorships and promotions

Timeless classic rendered timeful and fleeting by pop culture references

Captivating prose dulled by the need to self-censor for monetization

Transcendent media made obtuse by dependence on the platform where it was hosted

[aristocrating]

its 2026 i cannot handle any more fucking "author A obviously ripped off author B" discourse by people Who Have Only Seen the work of author B and admit themselves that they have no further knowledge of the literary landscape they are moving in. like.

[insomaniackills]

Folks really need to reacquaint themselves with this concept

sent this message to my coworker today and he sent me this screenshot with microsoft teams's suggested replies... incredible 10/10 no notes.

[cat-skull]

imo the term "walkable" in "walkable cities" should be understood to mean "wheelchair accessible" as well, not just literally "possible to walk in". the act of walking in a city doesn't automatically make it walkable

[wolfertinger666]

if you're transgender you have to live.

[wolfertinger666]

please. I love you.

me logging on to say something on any given day

[butt-rice]

i wish there was a way to say "you're right, but this is really ineffective and even counterproductive messaging to anyone who doesn't already agree with you" without sounding like an asshole
