Really funny that a ton of trad guys who make a facile reading of the Roman Republic their entire online aesthetic will act like saying β€œNo Kings” is an outrageous idea

When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave the answer America keeps failing to learn.

People say, β€œThere’s zero benefit to studying dead languages and old books.” The benefit is that you won’t grow up to become the sort of person who spends your one precious life online, yelling at strangers that they must never learn beautiful things.

We did a little tour of Midcoast Maine general stores yesterday for fun. I was not expecting this bit of the Classical world to reach our shores!

My queue is currently empty so I can offer quick turnarounds, especially on sketches and lineart! Support actual queer creators this month instead of corporations.

There's an extremely specific blend of unbothered efficiancy with a small touch of excitement that can only be achieved by two types of people: parent-friends ordering for the group at a drive-thru or diner and archaeologists describing a site

The federal government is telling you they cannot afford to house you, feed you, educate you or heal you β€” but that they do have enough resources and scale to criminalize, assault, deport and incarcerate your neighbors simply going to work or taking their kids to graduation.

Happy #PrideMonth! If you'd like to support a trans artist in these uncertain times, I'm open for pay-what-you-want commissions over on Ko-fi. I specialize in TTRPG and MMO work, including outfit/item designs and portraits. Reposts appreciated!

Translation isn’t simply plugging words into a dictionary and spitting out the β€œsame” word in a different language. It requires knowledge of grammar and context. It’s a skill that AI simply cannot replicate because a good translation drips with humanity.

There are only two possible options available for Gender Criticals: suppress research, or ignore research. No matter how many studies and trials they do it'll always show the same thing

Funny how folks like to say that humanities degrees are β€œuseless” while the world is being actively destroyed by people not knowing about history, ethics, media literacy, or how to think critically. But sure, tell me again how STEM alone will save us.
