yes!!!!!!!!!! I'm banging on my desk in agreement

people who use ai for literally ANYTHING are fucking repulsive just fyi. sorry just weeding out the dogshit here

(me watching hbo rome) the fact that I can't be a priestess as a government job makes me so angry actually

that panel from Watchmen

some years, Circulatory System Walking Through the Kitchen Day just completely sneaks up on you

astrologers are in the unenviable position of studying a real system that was produced thousands of years ago, cannot actually be demonstrated in satisfying numerical way, requires deep familiarity with history and spirituality *and* sound thinking, and absolutely cannot be explained easily to most

I'm just saying that if I were a bird, I would not have to deal with coworker drama

almost posted something here truly unhinged and then was like wait no this is the wrong place for that. and then opened up tumblr and put it there

also I had forgotten how irritatingly posh brit tobias menzies is, in his voice and in his face, down to the way he moves his facial muscles. like good gods man the way I know you went to some posh boarding school for boys only

anyway caesarion is caesar's son and I'll die on this hill

idk I just find it interesting, the way we choose to tell these stories. what it reveals about the teller.

also I'm not over the base calumny leveled at cleopatra, one of the most politically astute women of her age in an age of politically astute women! how DARE

there is also of course the depiction of atia, which pretty clearly has smushed atia and fulvia together - fulvia of course being a very politically canny woman who was the wife of marcus antonius! and therefore unforgivably and ontologically evil in this narrative

rome hbo is so fun to watch but the clear partisanship of the writers to octavianus/augustus and his particular pr machine is the fly in the soup. the depictions of cleopatra vii philopater and marcus antonius are irritatingly bad in a way that makes it clear we the audience should hate them

@gnosticskald.bsky.social this all happened because of that one tiny yorkie mix named chuco

fiancé at beginning of our relationship: I don't like dogs >:(

fiancé a few years into our relationship: I love our herding dog :) and big dogs are pretty cool!

fiancé now, 14 yrs after meeting me: I desire a tiny chihuahua. he will ride in my lap and he shall be named el generalissimo

also I'm experiencing the same thing, I keep getting pickier about my likes and honestly it's forcing me into more interesting stuff so I'm not too mad about it

lexcore as hell

no, I know exactly what you mean! I feel like that too after reading my tropey rofan manhwa 🙃

thank goodness! it is truly tragic bc goulet carries the clairefontaine special edition notebooks that I adore so much and I haven't seen them at jetpens (the cyanotype ones this year and the la vie des vosges last year). I need to find a new place to buy them

I'm really sorry and I kinda feel like an ass for this, but that whole thing was like... girl you can't possibly talk like that in real life. just type like you talk ffs. he apologies?? literacy is so fucked

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS

Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark

Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap

The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name

He did this six times

Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

As described, painting.

oh I love my kaweco sport!! just be on the lookout with the nib; for some reason those ones are prone to baby's bottom. you can fix it with some grit paper or just buy a replacement if yours does that (goulet has a pretty solid nib replacement, for all I'd rather not shop there)

I mean at least you had fun??

I'm getting hojicha and then settling in with it and middlemarch. I'm determined to keep going with this book

she ended the work day getting upset because I was surprised that she put in her holiday time without checking in with me first (like we have always done before) and saying she won't take any time now and I can "take whatever you want" bc she won't do anything anyway. I'm just letting it pass bc wtf

Screenshot reads, "A Carnivorous ‘Death Ball’ Has Emerged from the Deep This newly-discovered species is being called the “death-ball sponge” for its appendages, which end in orbs and are covered in micro-hooks meant to capture prey."

Not now, carnivorous death ball

looking forward to taking my huge book and getting a nice cozy cuppa at the tea place after work

like listen just please try better music

(I couldn't fit in the character limit: the next week we were like wtf where did the pie go? and it turned out your dad ATE THE REST and we laughed so hard we cried together and we told that story so many times because that pie was soooooo heavy. what possessed you to do that to me years later?)

me to one of my ghosts: do you ever think about the time we were like, 22 and we made john scalzi's schadenfreude pie together and we could barely split a slice bc it was so rich, and then we went upstairs and watched the royal tenanbaums while lying on the floor. why did you ruin all of that?
