Reject Modernity, Embrace Antiquity 🏺🏛️🧿

think it's a deep consolation to know that spiders dream, that monkeys tease predators, that dolphins have accents, that lions can be scared silly by a lone mongoose, that otters hold hands, and ants bury their dead. that there isn't their life and our life. nor your life and my life. that it's just one teetering and endless thread and all of us, all of us, are entangled w it as deep as entanglement goes. v neat i think.

May Hermes help you to find open and welcoming arms wherever you choose to roam. May Hestia help you to find a safe home in every place you rest. May Demeter help you to keep your belly full and nourished. May Apollo help you to remain in good health and always find affordable care when it's needed. May Dionysus help you to stay in high spirits, despite the trials that traverse you. May Ares help to topple the systems that oppress you, bringing them to their knees. May Athena help you to find the wisdom needed to prevail and persevere. May Aphrodite help you to encounter those with love and compassion in their hearts.

The rabbis want to know if being eaten by a weasel that crawled into a uterus counts as being born. I don’t like this conversation

The weasels of ancient Babylonia were actually skilled obstetricians

i think "turning into a pumpkin" is my new favorite way to articulate the state of things when I am at a function and very overstimulated and it feels like my brain is melting. it's like no i can't be a person anymore i have to leave i'm turning into the pumpkin. the time is up yeah i gotta go. yeah see u later. pumpkin time.
