Was just strolling to Walgreens in my favorite jumpsuit from Paris and thinking about how good I feel in it and then I passed these two Gen Z girls who shouted "The walk is teeeeeea! Yes!!" at me from across the street and it was so sweet and nice 😊

Sara's review of The Socratic Dialogues 5/5: Currently trying to brute force my way through an education in Classics and Classical Archaeology, so! We're getting philosophical in this bitch and I tell you what I'm having a ball. These are f...

Are you disposed, he said, to go with me and see them? Yes, I said; but I should like to know first, what is expected of me, and who is the favourite among you? Some persons have one favourite, Socrates, and some another, he said. And who is yours? I asked: tell me that, Hippothales. At this he blushed; and I said to him, O Hippothales, thou son of Hieronymus! do not say that you are, or that you are not, in love; the confession is too late; for I see that you are not only in love, but are already far gone in your love. Simple and foolish as I am, the Gods have given me the power of understanding affections of this kind. Whereupon he blushed more and more. Ctesippus said: I like to see you blushing, Hippothales, and hesitating to tell Socrates the name; when, if he were with you but for a very short time, you would have plagued him to death by talking about nothing else. Indeed, Socrates, he has literally deafened us, and stopped our ears with the praises of Lysis; and if he is a little intoxicated, there is every likelihood that we may have our sleep murdered with a cry of Lysis. His performances in prose are bad enough, but nothing at all in comparison with his verse; and when he drenches us with his poems and other compositions, it is really too bad; and worse still is his manner of singing them to his love; he has a voice which is truly appalling, and we cannot help hearing him: and now having a question put to him by you, behold he is blushing.

Ah, Hippothales, I said; what a noble and really perfect love you have found! I wish that you would favour me with the exhibition which you have been making to the rest of the company, and then I shall be able to judge whether you know what a lover ought to say about his love, either to the youth himself, or to others. Nay, Socrates, he said; you surely do not attach any importance to what he is saying. Do you mean, I said, that you disown the love of the person whom he says that you love? No; but I deny that I make verses or address compositions to him. He is not in his right mind, said Ctesippus; he is talking nonsense, and is stark mad. O Hippothales, I said, if you have ever made any verses or songs in honour of your favourite, I do not want to hear them; but I want to know the purport of them, that I may be able to judge of your mode of approaching your fair one. Ctesippus will be able to tell you, he said; for if, as he avers, the sound of my words is always dinning in his ears, he must have a very accurate knowledge and recollection of them.

Update: Lysis is also a banger. This kid Hippothales asks Socrates to come hang out with him and his friends and Socrates is like "who's the hottest" of course, and Hippothales dithers so Socrates is all "omg you have a CRUSH" and Hippothales' friends are like "he does and it's SO annoying" lmaooo

Tiny club btw. Tiny club!!! And they reposted my sappy IG Story 🥹😭🥰

Cover of Plato: The Socratic Dialogues, a multi-voice production from Ukemi Audiobooks.

That was from Charmides if you'd also like to see or revisit what happens when Socrates walks up in the club like "where the hot twinks at though?" Whole thing is GREAT so far, really makes it clear that Socrates was the most annoying bitch in all of Athens. He's so funny though I love him

Then, when there had been enough of this, I, in my turn, began to make enquiries about matters at home⁠—about the present state of philosophy, and about the youth. I asked whether any of them were remarkable for wisdom or beauty, or both. Critias, glancing at the door, invited my attention to some youths who were coming in, and talking noisily to one another, followed by a crowd. Of the beauties, Socrates, he said, I fancy that you will soon be able to form a judgment. For those who are just entering are the advanced guard of the great beauty, as he is thought to be, of the day, and he is likely to be not far off himself. Who is he, I said; and who is his father?

Charmides, he replied, is his name; he is my cousin, and the son of my uncle Glaucon: I rather think that you know him too, although he was not grown up at the time of your departure. Certainly, I know him, I said, for he was remarkable even then when he was still a child, and I should imagine that by this time he must be almost a young man. You will see, he said, in a moment what progress he has made and what he is like. He had scarcely said the word, when Charmides entered. Now you know, my friend, that I cannot measure anything, and of the beautiful, I am simply such a measure as a white line is of chalk; for almost all young persons appear to be beautiful in my eyes. But at that moment, when I saw him coming in, I confess that I was quite astonished at his beauty and stature; all the world seemed to be enamoured of him; amazement and confusion reigned when he entered; and a troop of lovers followed him. That grown-up men like ourselves should have been affected in this way was not surprising, but I observed that there was the same feeling among the boys; all of them, down to the very least child, turned and looked at him, as if he had been a statue.

Chaerephon called me and said: What do you think of him, Socrates? Has he not a beautiful face? Most beautiful, I said. But you would think nothing of his face, he replied, if you could see his naked form: he is absolutely perfect. And to this they all agreed. By Heracles, I said, there never was such a paragon, if he has only one other slight addition. What is that? said Critias. If he has a noble soul; and being of your house, Critias, he may be expected to have this. He is as fair and good within, as he is without, replied Critias. Then, before we see his body, should we not ask him to show us his soul, naked and undisguised? he is just of an age at which he will like to talk.

It's a series of audio performances of Plato's Socratic Dialogues. And this is from a dialogue on TEMPERANCE!!!! Keep it in your toga Socrates damn

I listened to the absolute HORNIEST thing today oh my god

You know how sometimes you can just like feel music in your ribcage at a show. That, man. That. So fucking good, jesus

and so happy to care about a band who were like actually good people who cared about the world and she was like okay I need to know your skincare routine because 42?? And that was so nice. Also got carded to get a drinking wristband lol but anyway I'm young @ heart and I love music and I'm happy 😊

Still crying about it a little tbh. We were so hype they did an encore they clearly didn't expect to do and played a new song and it was so beautiful. And the singer told me she saw me being hype for it and I was like YEAH!!! and the band is these 20ish Canadian twins and I mentioned being 42

Just went to a show by myself bc I realized it was happening last minute & I had to shore myself up with substances but it was AMAZING, it was my favorite band & I got to talk to the lead singer & tell her how much their music meant to me & it was so fucking wonderful. Art is all there is you guys!!

"It's five o'clock somewhere!" I announced jovially as I poured a little ancho chile liqueur in my drink, then added, "Wait, is it five o'clock here?" It is. It is five o'clock here actually. Happy Sunday

Learning about how Queen Puabi was buried with dozens of attendants who were killed to accompany her into the afterlife and I get how Christianity (much) later caught on. Imagine you're a servant your whole life then you're expected to die and keep serving eternally. Yeah I'll take heaven actually

Drama in the chat this morning as three cops just came to the apartment directly across from me and executed a search warrant. I watched the resident get patted down and he's now standing hands folded in front of him fawning like a child. I should close the window but I'd really like to eavesdrop

Been listening to university courses lately and one just mentioned The Epic of Gilgamesh in relation to the archaeological digs at Ur and I was like damn I need to read that and then the lecturer talked about a major death in it and I was like "hey, spoilers!!!" but ya know. This one's on me I think

these were not as sweet as they could have been but nevertheless pleasurable to eat...we should keep going bigger imo. like orange-sized so i can nibble on one while pretending i'm a hamster
