i’m fine with people whose dni criteria includes me reblogging my posts (especially image descriptions), but if i check and then know that it includes me i am going to block you because i feel weird about it.

I got hired to do a stand-up comedy set at the trope villain convention. It was a great gig. Really appreciative crowd. They were absolutely cackling the whole time. It was a little weird at the end though when all of them stood up and started clapping very slowly, before saying, in unison, "Well done, my friend. Well done."

[dark-magician-girl-meets-world]

One of them said he really liked how relatable my comedy was. Apparently it made him feel like we're not so different, he and I.

if your animal is lying on the floor, furniture etc, it’s important to take a picture of them. then, if they move or shift in any way, it’s important to take another picture. with this technique, you can take many pictures of your animal

Crazy thing about #healing #recovery Small Victories is when you'll have some shit going on that's like, saying this would involve admitting how you used to be doing. You know? Like hey guys good news I'm gonna change my bedsheets this year

That's the thing about Doing Really Bad you kinda keep it to yourself. And then you start doing a little better & when you try to tell people this the vibe is like "what do you mean you were living in the sewer this whole time are you good?" while you're standing there like Yeah that's not the important part never mind that. I'm literally out of the sewer

hi! i stumbled on your Roman sexuality and kink and violence post. i found your analysis very interesting and was wondering if you can recommend any reading on the topic? (no pressure!!) i'm specificly interested on the part about how Romans viewed sex and violence as inherently interconnected, i've never heard about this and would love to read some source material, but anything on the topic is appreciated. thank you :)

hi! Amy Richlin's work is the starting point for any reading on Roman sexual violence; she is very much working in the second-wave feminist tradition but her 1980s/90s work is still essential reading and she writes more incisively than just about anybody else in the field and has been profoundly influential on my own thinking. I would particularly recommend The Garden of Priapus (1983/1992), which is basically the essential treatment of sexual violence in Roman culture, and her article "Reading Ovid's Rapes" in the 1992 volume Pornography and Representation in Greece and Rome.

more recently, Sarah Levin-Richardson has worked extensively on marginalized sexuality, sex work, and sexual violence in ancient Rome; she has an article "Roman and Un-Roman Sex" in the 2020 volume Un-Roman Sex: Gender, Sexuality and Lovemaking in the Roman Provinces and Frontiers that I would recommend which adds further nuance to Richlin's model (along with the entire volume!). Levin-Richardson also has a couple of pieces (one with Deborah Kamen) in which she employs Saidiya Hartman's methodology of critical fabulation to attempt a reconstruction of sexual violence against enslaved people in Roman society; I have a few reservations about the particular way in which Levin-Richardson does so and will admit that I think critical fabulation is a tool that ancient Mediterraneanists should use very cautiously, but it's helpful reading for understanding the state of the field right now. lastly, I also highly recommend Beth Severy-Hoven's article "Master Narratives and the Wall Painting of the House of the Vettii" (available here) as a case study, since Severy-Hoven directly addresses the intersection between sadomasochism, enslavement, and sexual violence using the art on the walls of the House of the Vettii in Pompeii as an example.

sometimes someone I follow falls victim to severe Character delirium to the point where they stop even saying the character's name and just refer to them by an epithet like some kind of malevolent entity whom they don't wish to accidentally summon, so if the sickness sets in quickly enough and I don't pay close attention for a week I'm just Never going to figure Who this bastard haunting my friend Actually Is. and I'll spend months scrolling my dash occasionally seeing appeals to "that fucking horse" or "my evil grub."

how was my weekend? ah, actually, i got put in a saw trap. yeah… luckily it was minor. chewed too loudly in a restaurant near john kramer, so i had to extract my own wisdom teeth. bloody stuff, you know? i mean i needed them out anyway, just would have preferred to do it with non-rusty tools. yeah i had to go get a tetanus shot. huge pain in the ass. luckily this was on saturday and i had all of sunday to recuperate so i could come into work today. i don’t think being saw trapped is covered under FMLA and i’m all out of sick time so i would have been shit out of luck. but that’s life. anyway how was your weekend? oh, you went to the planetarium? that’s pretty cool.

sorry but i can’t get over how the impala just…. runs. all my life we’ve had old shitty cars because dad’s a mechanic and he fixes them at home but like. even 15-20 years old cars with a 150,000 mileage demand….. a lot of maintenance. it’s not really a head canon as much as it is the only realistic thing to imagine that dean spends ALL his time off-screen hunting down parts and repairing his old ass car

Wang Lingjiao discovering cyberbullying, social media dogpiling, only fans, social media scams and mlms, and influencer as a career would, I think, be game over for civilization actually.
