I haven’t seen any post about this yet but I just want to remind everyone that Zeus is the god you want to pray to for rain. 

We know about the current fires in Australia, how devastating they are and clearly forest fires have become a concerning trend in the past years. 

Here are some appropriate epithets: Zeus Ombrios and Hyetios both mean “of the rain”. Zeus Aphesios means “releasing [rain]”. I also suggest Zeus Soter “Savior” and Zeus Phyxios “of refuge” for obvious reasons.

Queen!

i agree that jameela makes great points at times, but she’s also the same woman who thinks the likes of laverne cox are women just because they identify that way. you can’t be a woman who calls out the deep-seated misogyny of society while also saying that any male who “feels” like a woman is one, and his opinions on womanhood automatically become relevant.

I hope you and all TERFs shit your pants in public too.

buddy her thinking trans women are women is a bonus not a flaw 

[official-lucifers-child]

i was expecting something actually bad and harmful when they started talking like “but she thinks vaccines cause autism” not “she knows trans women are women”

This is a perfect example of what a sham corporate social media is. It's all performative. These accounts are run by corporate PR experts who are manipulating us into buying their products, that is all.

tiktok is kind of bad for fashion by Mina Le

[fuckyeahasexual]

While not about the acceleration of capitalism directly, I think this video does an accidentally very good job explaining how content consumption is going faster than ever and it’s hard for people to keep up, join in, or have their efforts really amount to having a life cycle at all.

Absolutely a must watch YouTube video about labor imho

[somespicyshrimp]

all jokes aside, it makes me very sad how literally the entire internet, especially social media, has just become more and more unapologetic in trying to wring as much money out of you as possible. can’t go on youtube without being bombarded by youtube red ads promising that if you just give them money, they’ll block the pesky ads who are also begging for your money. can’t stream a movie without searching for it on each of the dozens and dozens of streaming platforms. all demanding individual subscriptions for their tiny share of the world’s movies that used to just all be on netflix. every news site counting down your free three articles, all the while begging you to turn your adblock off. click off instagram’s stupid shopping tab, and the first post on your timeline is with #ad. and of course, now, tumblr’s adding post plus. i hate it!! hate getting advertised at everywhere i go. hate that social media’s not even supposed to be social anymore, just another thing to monetize. i’m so sick of it!!! can’t escape it ever!!! give us 9.99 per month for exclusive fucking content!! fuck!!

Perfect metaphor. If we all take simple steps like not using single use plastics and conserving water and never driving anywhere again, we can all feel nice about ourselves while a dozen billionaires still destroy the planet by themselves.

[campyvillain]

the “punk” side of tiktok thinking you need the money to buy a shit ton of patches and pins for jackets, 15 different docs, at minimum ONE pair of shoes with heels so high it’s impossible that you’ll wear them ever again outside of aesthetic videos because if you go out in public with them you’ll die, shoelaces appropriately coded to show youre gay and at least 5 piercings to be considered ‘punk’ at all….like…..need i say more

[campyvillain]

since this is gaining notes i just wanna say shoutout to all the poor punk ppl. shoutout to punk ppl who don’t have the money to make their clothes look “aesthetically pleasing” or coat every inch of their jackets in pins. shoutout to punk ppl who cant afford to have a varied wardrobe to dress up with. shoutout to punk ppl who cant pay for makeup and only have a few pairs of shoes. the whole point of punk is that it shouldn’t HAVE to be something you pay up for at all. punk was founded by ppl like us who cant afford all these types of nice things, not ppl who come in and gentrify everything to sell to fast fashion companies. and if you’re a richie gatekeeper who does insist that you need all those additional things mentioned above and/or more to be considered punk? get out and start fucking running

[fluffy-critter]

Punk started out as an aesthetic of poverty, before it got turned into an aesthetic of commerce.

The pins and patches were to keep ratty, torn-up clothes from completely disintegrating, and to show a refusal of buying new shit until it was absolutely necessary. And they were scrounged for $0, or close to it. It was all bought at a thrift store out of necessity.

$250 “pre-worn” jeans are capitalist nonsense.

Millennial Sisyphus keeps entering all the information from his resume into the web form, only for it to delete everything when he tries to move to the next page. He just goes back and types it all up again, over and over again, forever, and he never gets a job.

[crystalandrock]

Millennial Tantalus has been promised that his unpaid internship will become a paid position as soon as the company has space for him. Every week he sees their new job posting. Every week he asks his boss if he can have a real job. The boss shrugs apologetically and says he’ll just have to make do with being paid in experience a little longer. He goes back and keeps working, over and over again, forever, and he never reaches the fruits of his labors.

Millennial Persephone can’t get a job without a degree, but because she had to take out loans to pay for college, she must spend 1/3 of her life working just to pay them off.

Millennial Cassandra’s title is Social Media Coordinator, she was hired to be the expert, but every time she tries to explain the problems in her company’s social media decisionmaking, the managers don’t listen…and end up hiring expensive PR flacks to repair the damage to their reputation when things blow up exactly as she predicted.

Millennial Medusa uses multiple shades of primer and opaque foundation to cover the scars snaking across her face, hiding the bruises, aligning the asymmetry in her broken nose and jaw. Red matte on the lips, green shimmer on the lids. Flawless liner on the first try. She’s had lots and lots of practice. She films her transformation in secret for all to see and learn, and again, men are turned to anonymous stone faces screaming in horror. “Liar!” “Witch!” “Take her swimming on the first date!” These words do not discourage her. These words are a challenge. GlamGorgonXx posts another video.

Millennial Prometheus uploads another PDF to his site. He’s lost track of the printing and edition of this textbook. He knows they just rearranged some of chapters then charge 150 dollars per copy, and the professor wrote the book himself. the ZIP fills uploads successfully, and he starts uploading the next one. He isn’t afraid of the potential lawsuit. knowledge shouldn’t held out of reach like this.

Millennial Circe screenshots all the lewd messages she gets from men on online dating sites and posts them on her very popular Instagram along with their pictures and usernames. When people accuse her of attempting to destroy their reputations, she insists she’s just revealing them for the pigs they truly are.

thinking about how orpheus turning to look back at eurydice isn’t a sign of mortal frailness but a sign of love

[meduseld]

“Eurydice, dying now a second time, uttered no complaint against her husband. What was there to complain of, but that she had been loved?” ― Ovid, Metamorphoses

[dean-winchesters-clit]

This is true no matter the version you're reading.

1. Eurydice trips and Orpheus turns to help her because he loves her.

2. Orpheus cannot hear Eurydice behind him, and fearing that he's been tricked, turns to make sure she's there.

3. Orpheus makes it out of the Underworld, and so full of love and excitement to be with Eurydice, turns to embrace her, forgetting that they both need to be out of the Underworld.

No matter what happens in the story, Orpheus loses Eurydice because his love for her compels him to look.

[wildefluorescent]

Orpheus, I can forgive you, then, There’s not a soul alive who wouldn’t have looked back

The Descent, by Tyler King

[princesssarisa]

Don’t forget Gluck’s opera, where Eurydice doesn’t know Orpheus is forbidden to look back, Orpheus is also forbidden to tell her, she assumes he must not love her anymore, and Orpheus finally looks back to reassure her of his love because he can’t bear her anguish.

In that version in particular, but possibly in all retellings, a part of us wants Orpheus to look back, because his failure proves his love.

[forestkodama]

I'd be the voice that urged Orpheus When her body was found I'd be the choiceless hope in grief That drove him underground I'd be the dreadful need in the devotee That made him turn around (Hey ya) And I'd be the immediate forgiveness In Eurydice

Social justice should be rooted in love of others but it’s obvious a lot of people just weaponizing social justice to be bullies and borderline abusive under the guise of moral concerns
