Stells ✨

I don't post much here because I'm terrible at keeping up with multiple social media apps, but I'm active on the accounts linked in my carrd, in case anyone wants to follow there:

Still leaving this account here, though, since I'm likely too come back to it eventually

Starting the day with good financial decisions...

(I deserve it, I tell myself... I haven't owned physical copies of the Fagles translations since moving to Canada AND they were on sale)

Congratulations! Can't wait for my copy to get here 💕

‼️

It's such an awful feeling and such a hard one to dispel. I don't have much common with most and, even when I do, I worry if I'm saying the right thing, if they'll disagree with a point I'm making, etc.
Try to stay positive! You seem lovely and I bet there's tons of people who's love to chat with ❤️

The when I quickly clarify "I'm more of a Kingdom and Republic person" when I tell people I love Roman history... Just in case...

I'm sorry but this may genuinely be one of the funniest footnotes I've ever read

From Euripides' Electra. Yes, the quote is about Agamemnon

I'm so fond of when classicists hit us with gems like this one

Today on the downsides of being a perfectionist: I was thinking of how fun it would be to get a tattoo of a Roman coin, but then I realised I would specifically want to be a coin that would have been found in Caudium, and from what time period? Aurius? Denarius? What should it depict? Oh, decisions

Is this a message by Tiresias? 🤭

I've been meaning to preorder this, thank you for reminding me 👀 So excited to read it!!

Injustice for Bacchus 😂 Technically fits, technically not

two girls, one consumed by a dark mass with many hands, the other reaching for her

i'll reach you

Imagining Orpheus looking devious as he walks out of Hades is too funny 🤭 "I tricked them with my sweet tunes mwahahaha"

oh these are so beautiful

Crocheted until 2am while listening to Carmilla last night, woke up to read Dracula's May 7th entry with my morning coffee. Am I in a vampire mood? Maybe 😅 #booksky

guilty 🫡

It honestly feels like they've forgotten that the purpose of universities is supposed to be to educate. Just so sad to see these things happening.

fr 😭 and then if you post something and people don't engage with it it feels awful lol the horrors of being a very private person on social media

that's so real 😭I'm very bad at knowing what to post because it all feels very vulnerable to share with complete strangers, so I end up not posting much at all lol

The yearly tradition that is Dracula Daily begun today. To no one's surprise, I'm craving chicken paprikash 😅

yeah I sadly agree 😭 I have learned not to engage much with most fandoms for that reason, since sometimes a loud group can promote 1 pov and can potentially ruin the enjoyment of that piece of media for others. wish we could all just enjoy things together

I feel like people tend to be very bad at understanding that different people can interpret media in different ways, and be drawn to different premises. it's so weird how aggressive about headcanons some people in a fandom can be. we all like our own things!!

I still haven't been able to find a direct way to disable it here, but when I remember I add "-ai" at the start of my searches. Honestly crazy that there's no reliable way to disable it

Answering general knowledge enquiries? The level of laziness that must take, when they could just open Google instead 😔 Worse since AI notoriously makes up "facts" all the time and can get even the simplest things wrong

This looks so interesting! I'd love to check it out sometime 👀

make it so they gotta do a "pikat exposed" post about you with silly takes 🤭

Just to clarify.

Trans Lifeline.
Fantastic charity.
But only covers the US and Canada.

If you want to help British trans people today. Consider donating to charities like Gendered Intelligence & the LGBT foundation.

it’s giving america is the center of the universe when you guys say average people don’t know what JK Rowling is up to when she’s blowing her billion dollar fortune on publicly terrorizing trans women
