and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.

^^^ PEOPLE ARE STILL THERE. There's a metro station across the street from the colosseum where i found a hair in my pizza slice. We drove by ruins of an amphitheater next to a motorway in greece once. It's literally just real places where real people live and have lived. It's not mythical perfect lands that once existed. I went to Itacha in 2023 and there was not enough parking space.

I wonder what it says about the viewing audience that Homer’s Odyssey was about hubris and that Nolan’s Odyssey was about grief of war and looking for acceptance after doing terrible things. Homer’s Odysseus was a liar, a trickster, and thought he could out think the gods. Nolan’s Odysseus was a sad man who didn’t want to own up to the shit he’d done and when he did he wanted acceptance.

The viewing audiences for these two same characters is very different and it leaves me wondering what we were supposed to take away from the movie.

it really pisses me off when adults sit there and drill it into kids’ heads that their youth is fleeting and tell them things like “enjoy your childhood while it lasts because this is the best it’s gonna get”. why are you telling children that adulthood is the worst thing they can experience? seriously what the fuck is wrong with you, why are you trying to make them feel like growing up is a fate worse than death? trying to convince them their life is over before it even begins? i’m tired of that shit. because tell my why my 12 year old cousin told me when she turns 30 she’ll be so depressed she’s just gonna cry all the time. what the fuck. kids don’t need to hear that their already stressful and overwhelming lives are never going to get better, that the abuse and lack of autonomy they face is apparently the highlight of their lives. they need to hear about adults who are happy to be alive and happy to have made it to their age. they need to know that growing up rules, it’s a gift and life does not have to suck for them, that they have a future that’s worth sticking around for. this rhetoric is so damaging mentally and i’m about to start hitting the adults who parrot it. i’m sorry you hate your life but you don’t get to dump your issues on these kids. don’t piss me off and leave these babies alone!

stop trying to say I have aphantasia, nobody can actually see that fucking apple

[queer-as-city-folk]

if I had aphantasia, that would require people to be constantly ahllucinating, and I think that they are the real issue here

[queer-as-city-folk]

Genuinely though the idea of aphantasia is stupid, I don't think anyone can see an apple, they are all lying to me as a bit

I don’t get why white parents looking for unique names don’t just go historical instead of household objects or endless extra Ys

you could saddle your daughter with Aethelflaed (Anglo-Saxon queen from the 900s) and nobody could say you made it up

and yet people go with Kaelieghyghiey Dumpsterre or some shit

[marzipanandminutiae]

I was right for saying this almost 10 years ago, and also I would like to add that the reason I can’t be a single mother by choice is the necessity of having someone to restrain me from naming a potential daughter Asenath

[ingridverse]

How about splitting the difference and naming her Theophania

[lesbianmarrow]

free use is kind of a funny kink bc it relies on the idea that everybody wants to touch you and have sex with you but what if they don't. what if you tell everybody at the party you're free use but they all ignore you and mind their own business
