ποῖ δὴ καὶ πόθεν;your one wild and precious life

i love translators’ notes. i love seeing a little footnote that’s like “compare my good and grass-touching translation to the STUPID translations of smith and johnson, who rendered the passage ‘xyz’ because their heads are so far up their ass they’re giving ouroboroses body dysmorphia” or “this sentence isn’t translated very well, but that’s because the author wasn’t making any FUCKING sense”

A GOOD ROMANCE STARTS WITH A GOOD FRIENDSHIP. A GOOD ROMANCE STARTS WITH A GOOD FRIENDSHIP. A GOOD ROMANCE STARTS WITH A GOOD FRIENDSHIP. A GOOD ROMANCE STARTS WITH A GOOD FRIENDSHIP. A GOOD ROMANCE STARTS WITH A GOOD FRIENDSHIP.

a bad romance starts with “ra ra ah ah ah. ro ma, ro ma ma ga ga, ooh la la”

my absolute favorite thing about academia is that no matter how austere anyone (including academics) make it out to be, no matter the field you’re in, there’s always going to be That One Book/Article where if you mention it in a room of scholars you will immediately start a shouting match and/or actual, physical fistfight

some people have been tagging this with the author/article that they would absolutely throw down with and i’m Living for this please tag your favorite academic to hate

word i learnt today is γεφυρίζω which means to insult someone from a bridge and is a very useful piece of vocabulary 

‘Jesus’ comes from a shortening of the Hebrew version of the name Joshua, while ‘Christ’ simply means ‘the anointed one.’ To make this clearer to modern Christians, I propose a new Bible translation where Jesus is referred to only as “oily Josh”

There’s something really unsavory about oily Josh and his 12 teenage friends.

Oily Josh and the Greasy boys

the fact that they didn’t call it a paradaxe makes me angrier than the actual axe
