When I say women should have higher standards for how they're treated, this is exactly what I mean. At the first insult? Kick. Him. To. The. Curb.

Seriously. What the fuck did he think was going to happen?

protip for everyone, but mostly boys in this case:

when you are on a date, and someone has an interest you don't quite get, instead of saying lol lame, try saying hmm i don't quite get that, please explain that to me, and then listen as the other person talks about why that thing is something they are in to.

you might learn something which recontextualizes the matter, and you will definitely learn something more about your date, which is the entire point of dating.

you don't have to be a superfan by the end, but you will have shown you can be chill and take an interest in stuff, which is much more likely to result in a second date instead of being ditched in a coffee line.

this also works outside of dating, btw.

something something one morbillion recent essays and thinkpieces on the genre of modern adaptations/retellings/whatever of specifically greek mythology, and comparatively way fewer on the genre of historical fiction about the ancient world which i feel has a different set of prejudices/projections/distortions. but it does still have those things. sure you get an article or two when a film like gladiator ii comes out but compared to the greek myth retelling industrial complex it’s kind of nothing.

part of it is im p sure that there is just less historical fiction being written? i think historical fiction being genre fiction while myth retellings aren’t considered that in the same way is also part of it. probably so is the gendering of the genres, where a lot of myth retellings are by women and focuses on female figures, whereas there is a vast quantity of gladiatorslop and legionslop military historical fiction written by men that is doing all sorts of bullshit with its ideas of the ancient world, but doesn’t register as marked in the way female centred retellings do. also i read a legionslop book once and it was just incredibly bad writing, so maybe fewer people are writing about this because they understandably don’t want to slog through it.

also i think there’s a (false) perception that it’s easier to write about (and criticise writing about) mythology because of paucity and interpretability of sources, but that with a historical setting there’s less room to bullshit and you do have to actually know things. this is silly because it’s not like mythology doesn’t also have multiple historical settings! but it’s easier for authors and their reviewers/critics/whatever to think they know enough about mythology to write about it than like. 1st century bce roman politics. do people just not want to get into the details of how historical fiction authors use their sources. is that it.

it is a shame though, because there’s lots of interesting stuff going on in the history (haha) of historical fiction as a genreeeeee. can we talk about the spectre of ronald syme

An excellent idea. Workplace heat will only get worse in the next decade.

[18thcenturythirsttrap]

If people would like to take some action on this themselves, the TUC (Trades Union Congress) has a petition you can sign to demand a maximum working temperature in the UK. This is becoming more and more urgent every year.

We need a maximum working temperature

Every summer, temperatures are rising and working in prolonged heat and sun can be dangerous. It can cause a number of health concerns, from

Green MP Hannah Spencer to introduce bill on maximum workplace temperatures

Byelection winner says heatwaves are causing ‘absolute chaos’ and workers need protection from unsafe conditions

“Temperatures have exceeded 34C nine times this year, breaking the previous record of seven days set in 1976 and 2020. There have been six separate days of temperatures of 35C or higher for the first time.”

‘capitalism works’ factoid actually untrue. the 62 people who own half the world’s wealth are outliers and should be eaten.

[g00burr]

Absolutely nuts how they made up a number for this satire post and the correction is that reality is *more absurd* than the number they chose

[anarchistmemedistro]

no i’m afraid it’s even worse than that. 62 was correct in 2016 when the original post was made.

I think the fact kiwi birds have nostrils at the tip of their beaks isn't just y'know, an adaptation for sniffing out worms, but also important for their vibes and aura.

You can't see it, but you can feel it
