there is a really really famous in ukraine epic poem that is called eneïda (ukrainization of aeneid) written by ivan kotlyarevsky in 1798 that is famous for being the first ever published work in modern ukrainian language, and it is, as you can imagine, a ukrainian re-interpretation of virgil's aeneid, with aeneas being a zaporizhzhian cossack and other wonderful cultural references— anyway, the thing is, because of it being so famous here, the original aeneid is a lesser known one, and currently i have an ancient rome obsession so i want to talk about the aeneid frequently, but every time i have to say it like "so in the aeneid- no not the one by kotlyarevsky..." and well, i think it is beautiful

[vyvilha]

btw if anyone's interested you can find the english translation of kotlyarevsky's eneïda here

The reason they try to keep John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath out of schools is that it speaks about the true human cost of capitalism: All the material needs of the people of the world already piled up in abundance, but denied to those in need because shareholder yachts and mansions must come first.

“The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.

There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.”

― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

I mean, in some very interesting Technically Correct ways, they didn't actually die? Now, they're very much no longer alive. But the forces involved are such that they didn't get any of the usual cellular processes of death, they simply went from biology to physics in less time than it takes a signal to travel down your optic nerve.

[dietspam16]

if you go from biology to physics without dying first you don’t go to heaven the uber driver went over this already

You can make a movie with where the only white character is a man named Ray Cism whose one line of his 16 seconds of screen time is “I seriously hate women and minorities.” and you’ll find fifty bajillion reader x Ray Cism fanfics and renaissance style drawings of him with a halo of golden light

erika kirk being handed the golden opportunity to be the face of conservatives for the rest of her life and then fumbling it instantly by being genuinely unlikable and off-putting will always be funny to me almost as funny as remembering that charlie kirk got shot in the neck and died

was plan make new tote bag 4 aac go on wheelchair. Thought 'would be cool if design like computer keyboard' because fun silly have Radio's words in. Next thought 'if be computer keyboard could use as low tech AAC. Should then probably have yes/no symbols.' Then plan got out of control and now want 2 embroidery low tech AAC board for fashion (silly) and practical use.

not will rush make, just enough have project work on.

[unwell-radio-transmissions]

[ID: canvas bag with low tech AAC symbols and words embroidered on. Examples include feelings, 'lift' and 'toilet'. On reverse side is embroidered computer keyboard, yes/no symbols and words 'please', 'thank you' and 'sorry.' /end ID]

3 half months to finish, very very happy with result. Bag good and sturdy. Take bit of figuring out to make. Strap piece wrap all way around bag so more support for heavy AAC. Strap long enough for wear cross body.

full list of symbols & words: - happy, sad, tired, surprised or anxious, angry or frustrated, overwhelmed. - safe, unsafe. - too loud, too bright, too many people, too many choices. - lift, toilet. - love, stop - i need, to lie down, help, space, to leave, company. - I don't understand, please explain what's happening.

these are for communicate with strangers who not know sign or when body brain too tired for effective signing and as alternative to electronic AAC.
