Being overstimulated is such a weird thing to explain to people. Like "hey sorry, I'm not mad at you and this is nobody's fault and I'm not blaming anyone for it happening, I am aware this is a part of regular everyday life but I am mentally crumbling because There Have Been Things Happening nonstop for 5 hours straight back to back with no breaks, and I really need to sit down in complete silence for like 15-25 minutes, after which I will be completely fine and can proceed as normal. But if I'm not allowed to have that, I will resort to violence."

Add the author’s reply, cowards!

I scrolled through the notes on this post and my favorite has to be one mockingly accusing Madeline Miller (a Latin and Greek teacher with a Masters in Classics) of needing to do research and she wasn’t a real writer like them.

Anyway when I read that line I immediately understood what she was trying to say.

Archaeologist Vinzenz Brinkmann insists his eye-popping reproductions of ancient Greek sculptures are right on target

The Greek colour experience was made of movement and shimmer. Can we ever glimpse what they saw when gazing out to sea?

In February of 2018, the BBC broadcast an eight-part miniseries, Troy: Fall of a City, that told the story of the Trojan War. Netflix later

Honestly, the first time I saw this tweet, I laughed my tits straight into the ocean.

I know what ‘olive skinned’ (and thus variations on it) means, but the author taking the time to have a little laugh, acknowledge that it’s at least a bit funny, and drop some knowledge is appreciated.

And a double thanks to the person I reblogged from for linking the articles.

The thread is perfect as it is, but just in case

Left: traditional extraction using a capacho basket, right modern extraction using a cold press. One is greenish brown and the other is green.

In case you want to see what the author meant about that not beeing what she saw.

one time a guy i know whose girlfriend was heavily pregnant didn’t tweet anything for a whole day so i texted him ‘congrats on your baby’ and made him think i had some kind of baby precognition

rogha

like six months after that just after halloween i asked to see his son dressed as a ‘fat baby pumpkin’ and he was like ‘who told you’ and i said ‘no one. it’s halloween. you have a fat baby. he’s going to be a pumpkin’

My elderly father started talking about how frustrating he finds “the pronouns thing” and I was like. Oh no. He had such a good stand on this, he’s been they/them-ing his cishet siblings for god’s sake! Is he regressing?? And he was talking about how difficult it is to remember, and how onerous it feels to expect strangers to keep track of it, and I’m like oh no oh no.

Then he says, “I mean, the problem isn’t the gender thing. The problem is four words: she, her, he, and him. We got rid of stewardess and turned it into flight attendant. It doesn’t matter if the flight attendant is a man or woman, so we got rid of it. We just need to get rid of those. I don’t need to know.”

“You don’t need to know… people’s gender?”

“No. I don’t care, I don’t need to know, and I don’t want to remember it.”

So we can relax. It’s just a continuation of his crusade to they/them the world. He doesn’t want to remember anyone’s gender. He’s abolishing the genders.

i think far too many people have only seen this video as that one sped up gif version of it and that is a crime that needs to be fixed because this video actually changed my life

being married to an elf would suck bc they’d just be like “i wrote a short ballad on the subject of our love. would you like to hear it?” *proceeds to sing for the next 12 hours without pause because that’s what’s considered brief by elf standards* and being married to a dwarf would suck bc they’d be like *spends 36 hours carving a pattern into a single face of a hammer they’re working on because you “can’t rush art” and forgets that you even exist until you’re forced to come down and persuade them to return to the surface to take a nap before they collapse of exhaustion* so you really can’t win

Did everyone consent to being there, did the dancers know their audience, were they paid (looking at the yesses) what the fuck is the problem

I don't know what it will take to break this into your gooey young hearts, but you don't stop having fun -- all forms: physical, mental, sexual, social, literarily, culturally -- as you age

You should be seeking joy and pleasure until the very instant you exhale your last mortal breath

Renounce pleasure at your own loss, I will spend none of my life force or temporal passage grieving for you or remembering you

Having worked in elder care, I can tell you exactly what this is, because I’ve seen it before:

Adults cannot accept that their elderly parents could be horny.

This is ESPECIALLY true if one of their parents has passed. Pop Pop loved Gam Gam! He can’t possibly have found a girlfriend at the home! Or, worse and more common, Gam Gam can’t possibly have found a boyfriend! This must be a sign of senility and the man is taking advantage! (No, ma’am, your mother is fully present and wheels over to Mr. Jones’s room every afternoon like clockwork. They hold hands at bingo sometimes. Please be happy for her. We are.)

All that to say, lots of residents probably loved this and their adult kids threw a stink.

My sister has delivered care at several skilled nursing facilities and the amount of elderly people who sneak off to fuck each other is insane.

80% of people between 50-90 are sexually active. The rate of STIs among nursing home residents is pretty high—that doesn’t happen for no reason.

I’m sure they went door to door letting everyone know strippers were in the common room if they want to see and the only thing these men were upset about was they had no singles.
