I’ve been searching pretty much every day for some way to listen to this song. And today during my lunch break I just happened to find it. Sometimes it’s good to be obsessive when searching for something.

Billionaire propaganda has to stop. #TaxTheRich
Don’t tax them, eat them.

Except for this one
What the? How’d you do that?

Hello internet user whose entire concept of feminism comes from tiktok. In front of you are three ancient myths about women. You have five minutes to figure out which one of them was made up in the 1970s. If you choose wrong, you will be ripped to pieces by Maenads.
Okay since everyone wants the test, instead of giving you three myths here’s several myths. One of them is a real Greek myth with sources of it from ancient times and the rest of them are fake. One of the misconceptions was specifically invented in the 70s.
1. In every version of the myth, Medusa is born a human and Athena turns her into a monster
2. Hestia, goddess of the hearth and family, willingly gave up her place as the 12th Olympian to make room for Dionysus
3. Persephone chose Hades and wandered into the underworld of her own free will
4. Pandora didn’t know what was in her jar and unleashed evils on humanity by accident
5. During the voyage of the Argonauts the huntress Atalanta beat the hero Peleus the father of Achilles in a wrestling match
6. King Midas of Phrygia decided to give up his golden touch after turning his daughter to gold
7. Aphrodite was widely worshipped as a war goddess in Greece
lmao I promise you that only one of these is real.
Hiding the answers under a cut in case you wanna guess on your own.
Explanations for all of them, again under a cut.
Guys this post isn’t about neo-pagans and a lot of you are reading this as me hating new retellings or something. I have nothing against any of these stories. I just get frustrated when people “well actually” me about the “original” version of a myth when they have no sources for what they’re saying. These stories not being exactly the way you thought they were doesn’t have to mean anything. It’s fine.
“modern writers” no we know specifically who invented that. Robert Graves. This JSTOR article seems to require an institutional login, not just a JSTOR account, but if the DuckDuckGo preview says in context what it looks like it says, someone called him on having no sources for Hestia stepping down in favor of Dionysos, in 1955.
ALTThanks, I’d forgotten the name of the guy and was too preoccupied to go digging for him.
Psst, you can read that whole article with a free account. We just checked.

dr who’s on first, doctor strange is on second and doctor house is on third. theres no way theyre getting through a single inning
so who’s on first?
That’s right 👍🏻
that’s strange
No, he’s on second.
Well how’s he on second if he’s on first?
No no no, House is on third. Second base is Strange.
Well this whole darn thing is strange but what I’m asking is who’s on first?
Naturally.
Who?
Naturally.
So Naturally is the first baseman?
No. The first baseman is Who.
Well I don’t know that so how’s about you tell me?
House is on Third.
I’m not asking you about third base I’m asking you about first base.
Who’s on first!
This is horrible
Dr Horrible is the pitcher, not first base
That’s not what I’m asking about! No!
Dr. No isn’t even at this ballgame!

a collection of my favorite tweets regarding the Ever Given in the Suez Canal
happy 1st bday to… this.
I personally am declaring this to be a new International Holiday
Happy 2nd anniversary to the Suez Canal blockage!
Ever Given Week, 22 March to 29 March (observed)
22 March - Ever Given Eve. Many celebrate by completing some small task they’ve been putting off, symbolically clearing blockages in their own lives.
23 March - Blockage Day! The main celebration. The exchanging of memes.
24 to 28 March - Hilarity ensues. Memes continue to circulate. The best are saved for next year’s observances.
29 March - Clearance Day. Festivities wind down. A more solemn occasion.

in addition to the fact that people just have different natural rhythms, a big reason why we can’t seem to go to bed as early as we “should” is that nighttime is, for many of us, our safest and most fulfilling time of day. we don’t have to work, we won’t be contacted by bosses or insurance companies or collection agencies or other suffocating life business… we’re likely only to be contacted by our friends, or by no one at all. night time is release; it’s ours. we can rest or recreate. we can do things we actually want to do. who would choose to cut that short?? just to usher in the next morning when our lives are not our own again? nighttime is precious and nothing could be more normal than the desire to embrace this
So, y’all remember that post that said animals in urban areas slowly became nocturnal to avoid encounters with humans? Apparently that includes humans.
