Hello world

men really be like “well this woman has studied this subject her whole life, and i am a man, so we have equal knowledge on this”

I love when people ask "how did you learn this skill?" I just started, there's no secret. that's it. a vast majority of the time the only thing holding you back is your trepidation to start.

truly just as we have universal health care we need to have universal death care. dying is not optional and funerals should not be a financial burden for families.

while obv people getting the iliad's time focus wrong and saying that it ended with achilles' death is a very annoyingly common mistake i also think it's kind of fitting in relation to the ways achilles DOES die in the iliad. he ends the poem having basically killed himself in more ways than one after killing hector and he knows it. the last time we see him we know as well as he does that he's got an expiration date and it's very soon. he's alreasy chased around and killed a man in his own armour. not to mention all the ways in which he rejects life after patroclus' death. from his lying resembling that of patroclus' corpse (κειται Πάτροκλος/κειτο), to being sustained by ambrosia instead of human food just like patroclus is by thetis. like the entire murder/suicide thing going on between achilles and hector PLUS the idea that patroclus' death is modeled after and made to represent achilles' own from a narrative standpoit makes everything much more i tresting. i know it's definetly been said before but achilles' relationshio with death and his suicidality even should be taken into much more consideratkon in conversation about him.
