a lot of people don’t tell you this when you’re starting to remodel your own home but occasionally under the floorboards you’ll find the entrance to an unimaginably sprawling and vast complex of underground lakes connected to each other through intricate networks of tunnels where suburbanite mermaids have set up mermaid strip malls with mermaid verizon, mermaid driving school, the mermaid liquor store, and so on. and many people will think this is a plumbing issue, but it’s actually a zoning problem

From a 9th century Irish manuscript, the phrase ‘massive hangover’ (Latheirt) written in the ancient Irish text Ogham. The monk must have been having a very rough day…..

The exact translation is “ale killed us” which is somehow better

In the other [1979] profile, in Vogue, [Toni] Morrison spoke of a white American reader who had "told her how difficult it was to understand black culture in her books—it was so removed from his experience." She had responded: "Boy, you must have had a hell of a time with Beowulf!" The Vogue interviewer, missing the wit in this retort, went on to comment: "Morrison has no patience with people who plead ignorance; but then, she does not pride herself on being a patient woman. 'I find myself being more and more difficult,' she says. 'It's something I really relish.'" Even Morrison's literary difficulty and the pleasure she took in it was translated here into personal difficulty, a moral failing: How dare she be impatient! Well, wouldn't you be?

Chapter 1:

The sky over the port was the color of television, tuned to the skeletons channel

for real tho it feels exhausting that ive seen this whole "woman should be allowed to abstain from X beauty standard" -> "i perform X beauty standard, am i evil? do you think im evil? please forgive me i came up with a dozen excuses 🥺" since like 2015 (and i know its been going on longer than that) like girl thats not the poiiiiint

look me in the eyes. repeat after me. "i face societal pressure to perform this beauty standard. i should not face that pressure. i conform to this standard. i am rewarded for performing to this standard. i need to respect women who do not perform this standard. this is not about whether or not i am a sinner for wearing makeup."

In Season 6, Jack and Teal'c both have spearate horrific experiences where they are stuck in an agonizing loop - painfully cycling through life and death, fighting for every scrap of will just to survive.

And both times Ghost!Daniel literally rolls up with a can-do attitude and a Hang In There cat poster. And just straight up saves their lives through the Power of Friendship.

the fifth race is truly the thesis of stargate. every other alien race is saying bruh you guys are babies u cannot be exploring space like this. and jack o'neill is like well we are doing this anyways !!!

and that's literally stargate. that's the point of the whole show. humans are so curious and hungry to learn and grow and find new things and the beauty of stargate is showing humans Doing Space Travel in present day. star wars is past, star trek is future but stargate is right now and thats The Thesis.

"we are a very curious race" jack says and that's the whole point.
