crazy how 4 hours of work will literally take up my entire 15+ hour day. who allowed this

[copepods]

we live in a society etc

[copepods]

the big takeaway from this post and the fact that so many people relate to it is that, if a shift only 4-5 hours long is already exhausting enough to require an entire day of mental recovery, we NEED to abolish the 8 hour workday, to say nothing of shifts any longer than that

[princelapine-deactivated2025031]

no, the big takeaway from this post is that you people don't dream big enough

call me sentimental but every now and then i catch myself thinking about the people who lived thousands of years ago, and loved and grieved, the people whose graves i wrote about in a paper. i may not know your names. i will never know your names. but this morning i went outside and i poured some of my drink on the ground and i watched it seep into the soil and i thought of you.

rothko in the turner gallery???

[fluentisonus]

I can't get it right in the photo but going absolutely bonkers over the way the colors just like. blur across from the rothko (1950) to the turner (1845). this whole room is full of these abstract colors it's like they're bleeding between the picture frames with no regard for time

wait wait hold on a second.

can you imagine chuckling at none pizza with left beef and then living through the death of humanity and resurrecting a chunk of it and becoming a god figure to the new society you create and then 10,000 years later referencing it in conversation to a horribly traumatized teenager who has no possible frame of reference for this ancient meme that no one else alive has ever heard of

[the-grollican]

i assume this is a reference to something but choose to believe it is simply a creative exercise that tumblr user spleen9000 is inviting me to participate in. like yes. yes im imagining it

If you want a good object lesson about what we can and can't know about the past, we don't know Ea-Nasir was a dishonest merchant selling shoddy goods.

What we know is we have found a cache of complaint tablets about him selling low quality copper as high quality, in a site that was probably his own residence. We know multiple people complained he was a cheat. It's entirely possible they were right. It's also entirely possible that he kept these complaint letters as records of people he would no longer do business with, because they had made accusations and threats in order to bully him into giving them free copper. That is an equally valid interpretation of the evidence.

My point is not that we have maligned Ea-Nasir, my point is that thousands of years later, we do not and cannot know.

A small comic about Palestine I created to appeal to more passive family and friends

Anyways if you have the money I urge you to donate to Ibraheem Hadi, a Palestinian who contacted me and whom I promised to highlight in relation to this comic:

Donate to Help me and my family to evacuate from Gaza, organized by Devlin Downs

Title: "Urgent Relief: Support Ibrahim's Family in Gaza Amidst Devastation" … Devlin Downs needs your support for Help me and my family to

Otherwise there is always a need for eSims to keep Gazans connected
