Recently, my chronic illnesses have gotten exponentially worse due to a second Covid infection. I've found myself far more disabled by my conditions than I ever was and am feeling quite lonely and isolated. I'm struggling to accept this new body that I don't feel at home in anymore.
I would love to find a friend who I can talk to about this stuff. I don't know many people in the community and being stuck in bed so often I would love to have an online friend :3
people who cut your sandwiches diagonal. why
so sorry to this person but who the fuck is dipping a grilled cheese into milk. is that a thing

Listen, this is a very specific topic to be iffy about, but for your knowledge, the Roman gods are not the Greek gods.
The Romans were big on syncretism (the combination of different forms of belief or intellectual thought) and the adoption of foreign gods. The Greek deities were known since very early periods via the Etruscan culture, which was heavily influenced by Greece since the middle of the 8th century BC because of trade routes as well as the Greek cultural potential and would come to be completely engulfed around the third century BC with the Roman-Etruscan wars, but just like you’d see the Romans claiming the Germanic tribes worshipped their own gods under different names (the Germania by Roman historian Tacitus, written around 98 AD), the same happened here, and the fusion wasn’t 100% accurate.
While in the case of Zeus and Jupiter, for example, it worked well, Venus is far more motherly and political than Aphrodite (as Mars is the Father of Rome via the myth of Romulus and Remus, Venus is Venus Genetrix, Venus the Mother, and the only time you’ll see Aphrodite being motherly is in… the Aeneid, a distinctively Roman piece), Mars is an agricultural god as well as the god of war and has way more political connotations than Ares (he was a member of the archaic Capitoline Triad), Mercury is far more linked with commerce than the more pastoral Hermes, and the list goes on. Apollo was imported directly and very early (a temple for him, the Temple of Apollo Sosianus, was erected in the city of Rome as early as 431 BC), thus keeping the name but undergoing a very distinct Romanization of his attributes and worship. Janus, Quirinus and Terminus were very important Roman gods which had no Greek equivalent.
Isis, for example, was worshipped as herself, equated with a number of deities in both the Greek and the Roman worlds and some of her methods of worship and symbolism were associated with the Virgin Mary. It’s a far more complicated scenario, babes, especially when you consider Alexander’s conquests and the expansion of Hellenistic culture as well as its contact with many other cultures.
Syncretism is way more complicated than “the Romans just stole the Greek gods and gave them different names, the uncreative fucks”. The traditional date for Rome’s foundation is 753 BC and the Western Roman Empire would last until 436 AD. That’s over a thousand years of conquest, trade and growing and shrinking territories, and none of these factors are likely to leave a religion unaltered.
Besides, the practice of religious syncretism is way older and more common than you’d expect. The Akkadians did it to Summerian deities a few thousand years before this especially after the conquest of Sargon of Akkad in 2340 BC (“Mesopotamia: the Sumerians”. Washington State University). The Greeks were doing much the same with the Roman pantheon itself (Dionysus of Halicarnassus and Plutarch use Greek names for Roman cult), with the Egyptian pantheon and with the Scythian pantheon (Herodotus in both cases, though the associations would outlive him, such as the case of Zeus/Amon).
So, no the Roman gods aren’t the plagiarized versions of the Greek gods, and I could defend this in front of a jury.
idk what compelled me to draw this lol
I think we're missing out on this interaction in episode 39
ARCHIVIST: Why are you here Martin?
MARTIN: Well, well, Prentiss is out there and you can’t run so –
ARCHIVIST: I mean at the Archive in general. Why haven’t you quit?
MARTIN: Are you giving me my review now?
ARCHIVIST: No… We’re clearly doing a whole heart-to-heart thing...
Jon asks a question, feeling vulnerable after opening up about something that was scaring him for a long while now, expecting a genuine answer and emotional conversation about Martin's choices and feelings.
Instead he gets Martin thoroughly misunderstanding him twice, once thinking he's literally asking why he's in the room and the second time thinking he's giving him his goddam employee review
i like to think this is foreshadowing for how goddamn unprepared we all were for jon to be the dramatic brooding romantic in this relationship where one of them is a poet and it is not jon
mcr was right about the apocalypse they didn’t give us any ‘in the distant future’ crap they were just like “yo in 9 years tops we’re fucked”
I believe it, but choose to disobey

Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.
Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.
I mean, if someone wrote that to me, I’d probably believe they were sick.
“Slutantions” has me crying laughing
i once emailed my professor with a migraine. a mistake.
“I amsick will not to choir because i have a heache. i Hope its very and i am so sorry
love,
blue”
the subject line was “OW”
THE SUBJECT LINE IS THE BEST PART JSJFJSJDJS JUST IMAGINE GETTING AN EMAIL WITH NO CONTEXT OTHER THAN “OW”
As someone who has taught college, please send those emails because 1) We WILL believe that; no one would write that on purpose and 2) we need a laugh sometimes.
On the other side of this, once after getting taken to the ER by ambulance, I got an email from the professor whose class I’d passed out in, and the message had no text, just the subject line “you good?”
Reblogging for the last addition
Claritin makes me weird, but I have allergies so there’s about a month and a half block of time where I’m taking Claritin and am just weird most of the time.
Anyway, my last year of college, I got the flu or something in late March and was also taking Mucinex. I told my professor I couldn’t come to class one day by email except I couldnt think of what to say, so my medicated ass decided to make a Fry meme. I think it said something like “Not sure if I can go to class with a head the size of Texas, bottom text.” I didn’t think until the next day that it probably wasn’t socially-acceptable to tell your philosophy professor you weren’t coming to class via Tumblr style memes. When i got back to class, i found that she’d printed it out and taped it to the classroom bulletin board.
Oh shit you guys i turned on my WinXP laptop that I used to use back then.
IT WAS ON THE DESKTOP. THIS IS WHAT I SENT.
It’s even worse than i remember it
New Study Looking for Participants
Hello! My name is Max I am now collecting data for a new study looking at eye gaze cue perception in people with autism. As of today, April 25th 2021, anyone who is 18 years old or older can participate in this study. If you are not a legal adult (18+), your data cannot be used. This study will be open through May and into June, 2021.
I am recruiting people with and without autism. If you choose to participate, you will be asked if you have autism as well as complete the AQ10 (a 10-item autism assessment). You are more than welcome to DM me, @my-autistic-things or email me, [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns.
This experiment is intended to be completed on a computer (laptop or desktop), as you need to respond with your keyboard. All data recordings will be completely anonymous and your IP address (or other computer-related identifying information) will not be collected.
If you are able, it would be wonderful if you could share/reblog this post to spread the word! You may also repost my flyer below on other social media platforms.
Here is the direct clickable link to participate: https://www.labvanced.com/player.html?id=22762
Hello everyone!
This is the last opportunity to participate in this study! It will close by at the end of May, 2021.
I am posting this update on Sunday, May 23rd, 2021 and this will be the last time I update this post. I am so grateful for all the data I’ve collected so far and I can already see my hypotheses/results coming together! I will definitely be closing this study at the end of this month (so approx 7 days) to solely focus on my data analysis. Until then, the link to the study will be live and data will be recorded! If I see any records that are incomplete and started recently at that time, I will keep it open for a couple extra hours just to make sure I don’t cut anyone off while they are taking it.
I would appreciate any final participants and/or reblogs of this post! Thank you all very much!
hate posting a post, waiting for someone to reblog it, then editing it. now there are two versions of the post. disgusting.
