minos was such a pussy. if my wife gave birth to an epic minotaur baby i wouldn't have locked him in a labyrinth. i would have taken him to the mcdonalds play place (athens) every day and let him eat as many stray mcnuggets (athenians) off the floor as he wanted. i love you hungry son

odysseus absolutely does present a threat to penelope if he perceives her as at all unfaithful, and i feel the unfairness of this, and i think people tend to undersell how much tension at least potentially exists between odysseus and penelope. but i'm also like. his reaction, all speculation aside, his actual reaction in the odyssey to her flirting with the suitors is delight, because he immediately ascertains that she is running a con. sorry that they're so in-sync in spite of the forces that try to drive a wedge between them, including their own misgiving hearts. sorry that they invented homophrosyne ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Seeing people I know and like using AI is making me understand the protagonists of those old time sci fi dystopia's.

"Oh I don't normally use AI, I just wanted it to plan my trip"

You lived on this planet for decades, you know what you like, there are hundreds of websites where you can type into any search engine " things to do in [area]" and have at least a hundred different options.

"Oh I only use it so I can figure out what to make during the week with what I have"

The most popular website as you type in "recipes" into google have sections where you click dinner- quick and easy and those usually rely on staples + 1 or 2 items. I found 30 recipes on chicken alone.

"I had a writing idea, so I typed a few sentences into Chat GPT and I was able to write 20 pages with it."

[chimso-writes]

I downloaded a news app and literally deleted it because haha I would like to keep my sanity thank you very much. Since the world is so bleak, let us mention three good things that have already happened to us or are looking forward too.

1. I wrote and posted a fanfic in honor of my first pride month.

2. EP 9 of TADC is coming on Friday! Perfect timing!

3. I've been inspired to make my own show. Obviously, I don't have the funds to actually produce it but I can come up with and develop a concept and write scripts!

Your turn!

About a month ago I started writing this original story I've been thinking about for ages, and it's going well. Really fun! I made a royal road account too but I'm going to finish the first book before posting it.

It's my favorite part of the year: late summer, the very start of monsoon, and all the storms are awe-inspiringly grand and loud. Also the novelty of rain hasn't worn off yet.

Learned how to make a vegetable dish the other day, one that i like and can easily get done. Yay for adulting!

1. I've been writing more consistently lately and really enjoying it!

2. I went to the beach with friends and only got a little burnt

!! well that’s nice, sure why not

• I’m going out to a park I like (it’s probably one of my favourite places really) with a friend who I also particularly like who said that tomorrow!

• I spent a fair bit more money than I planned to at the bead store yesterday (the "ooo, pretty!" was too strong to resist…) but that means I’m going to be getting/working on some new jewelry soon :)

• there’s a combination plant swap/sale and live music show on saturday that I bought a ticket for, so that should be fun!

1) it's early summer where I live it's the best time of the year!!!! the days are as long as they'll ever get and everything's alive and it's six more months until the crushing dread of winter :D

2) DELTARUNE 8 DAYS

3) I'm working a 4-10 hour shift schedule instead of a 5-8 hour schedule this summer and I'm still feeling pretty okay so far and haven't burned out into nothing yet!!! I'm thinking I might actually be able to work full-time consistently if I'm able to always have this schedule (and my official dx means I potentially have grounds to ask for this schedule as a legit accommodation at other jobs) which could mean I'll actually be able to be fully financially independent in the near future :D

God I miss the days when you could show up to a stranger’s farm and he’d say “What’s your name, boy?” and you’d take off your hat and hold it to your chest to better let him see your face and reply “Why I ain’t got none, sir, on account of my mammy passed on before she could give me one” and he’d tell you he’s real damn sorry to hear that and ask what he can do you for and you’d tell him that you can’t read nor even write neither but you’re mighty good with horses and can mend them fallen fence posts what you saw on your way in and won’t ask for nothing much more than a hot meal and a warm barn to sleep in and he’d keep his wife and daughters inside but send his boy who ain’t got married yet even though his mama tells him he needs a woman out with a lantern and some stew at night and the two of you’d get to talkin and he’d throw you his flask to take a swig from and watch you drinkin from it while he leant against the door frame and when he finally got called back on up to the house again he’d take a sip from it too real slow-like like it weren’t the whiskey what he were tryna savour
