Sometimes reminiscing about pre-quarantine I feel like minor Russian royalty reminiscing about pre-communist revolution times. I’m like…ah yes I used to wear different beautiful outfits to work every day and shake the hands of many people without fear. I would simply leave my house and stroll into a bar for a last-minute cocktail with a friend. I would knock back oysters, sitting elbow-to-elbow with others at the counter. there were plays and concerts I never went to. The tzar invited us over often and had a GIANT chandelier

I know I make fun of Pliny the Elder a lot, but I genuinely can’t stop thinking about this approach to taxonomy:

[There is a fish called the tursio, which bears a strong resemblance to the dolphin; it differs from it, however, in a certain air of sadness, and is wanting in its peculiar vivacity.]

Like, imagine someone describing an animal to you, but the only information they’ll provide is that it’s sort of like another animal, but much much sadder.

just misread ‘can’t stand minions’ as ‘can’t stand minoans’ and spent 5 minutes pondering how much of a grudge you could really have against the population of bronze age crete

[whatshouldwecallhomer]

Why Minoans are problematic:

- jumped over bulls = animal cruelty

- only used Linear A, which has never been deciphered, so basically very inaccessible and history’s tallest paywall

- spent all their time building palaces

- disappeared mysteriously, thus avoiding any accountability for the aforementioned

Remember that one Goosebumps story where like, the kid was getting progressively hairier and it just ended up with his parents telling him, “Oh you’re actually a dog, like we couldn’t have kids so we gave a dog these experimental shots or something and it morphed into you but I guess the shots are wearing off now and we can’t get more.” and the kid was just… “I’m a dog. This is fine.”
