Every book was written by hand at one point. At one miserable point in fact they had to write them backwards bc when they did invent a copy method it could only produce mirror copies. You are capable of mastery and your labor is valuable. Don't let them steal yr focus.

I dont know where to put my grief when the person who caused it doesnt deserve the energy. I dont want to bog my partner down. I just want a hug and a nap and to not talk about it. Theres nothing to be said. My not friend came messaged me to tell me theyre not my friend still and tried to make themselves feel better about dumping me like trash on the highway. Do i wish we could have hugged yeah. But it wouldnt make me feel better. Its like trying to eat hard candy when yr crying, a hard to swallow mess. I dont need a post mortem. I need the silence that im used to when I lose a friend. The heavy burden of an absence that I can learn how to carry. I dont want to sit down and be told all the ways i wasn't enough. Ive done that enough by myself.

If anyone would like to read a thorough take down of Sparta as a state not worth emulating, then ive got just the series of articles for you!

[heroineimages]

Reblogging because pissing on Sparta is one of my hobbies. And yes, totally check out the link above. Brett has a lot of great discussion and scholarship on why Sparta was proto-fascist garbage, and he presents it with both snark and accessibility.

[fierceawakening]

Holy shit. That’s… that’s worse than I thought it would be. Yikes.

[doctorjanedee]

Reblogging because more people should read the ACOUP Sparta takedown and fewer people should get their concept of history from fucking 300.

[fierceawakening]

No one should get their concept of history from 300, and I say that as someone who enjoyed 300. 300 is a comicbookification of a legend, and legends are already exaggerations.

[disorganisedautodidact]

A Great Divorce has also done an audio version of the ACOUP Spart takedown if audio is easier for you!

[re-the-bear]

The tweets (Fuck Elon it's still tweeting) fail to notice that the fucking marble is what endures. Sparta may have had men, but it's Athens that still stands as the seat of power. So who won after the dust settled? Athens. Be so fucking for real.

Weird to come into a restaurant & not be seated at a table. Girl literally just expected my food was to go & walked off. Went to sit at an open table & instead of bringing me my food she stood at the counter & kept yelling my name till I got up to come collect it. Is this homophobia or classism? Idk.
