Hi guys, I'm probably going to be on here sporadically for the next couple of days -- I'm trying to finish up a paper + stop my dog from killing himself. If you've gotten ahold of me, I'm NOT mad at you, I'm just...trying to get along. Shitposting will promptly resume upon completion of the paper + doggy health improvement.

As a sidenote, having my Sparrow and my Hero of Brightwall back was absolutely worth the cost of the XBox 360. I have my girls back!
Sorry for the NEW name change, guys -- I am having a Fable Moment and, with the new game coming out, I wanted to grab the url while I could. Let's pray that the game is good.
You’re completely correct. Out of my way, able-bodied losers. Fuck you.
It's called an EZRide+ and you can learn where to find them here. They're about $1100 US as of June 2026, but you might need to buy additional parts to attach them to your chair, depending on the style of chair.
Remember to put links to products like this, they're usually hard to find and a lot of people need to know they exist.
zounds! my squire doth inform me that ser hollander and ser rozanov bequeathed one another a token before their joust... and that flirtatious words were exchanged betwixt them on the field of play... which mayhaps meant nothing at all...

perhaps ser hollander and ser rozanov do not compete so fiercely in the tourney to vie for the princess’s affections but because they desire one another? nay i jest…….. lest?
hey!!! have you ever wanted to watch an actual Quileute elder talk about Quileute culture, language, and tradition? (as well as his family history, the damage Twilight has done, climate change, and so much more?)
trick question. this is an intervention. even if you’ve never wanted that, you do now.

this is a video of Chris Morganroth, a Quileute elder, canoe-builder, language teacher, and a fantastic storyteller. he is wearing a shirt covered in pictures of wolves: his cousin made it for him! this is a recording of a 2012 speech at the Smithsonian. it is about an hour long. it is so worth it.
(big thanks to @twilightphasepodcast, who cited this as a resource in their latest episode, which was how i found it!)
Actually, fuck the myth of the Tower of Babel. The real beautiful utopia where we can all finally truly understand each other doesn't lie in sameness or uniformity, it lies in the giant and digital Rosetta Stone we are going to build and broadcast across the entire world
So, genuinely no hard feelings, I get where y'all are coming from, but that was actually kind of my entire point
The Rosetta Stone was and is real.
This is indisputable. You can go see the Rosetta Stone on display right now!! I'd say you could even it touch it, but there's museum glass in the way, so that the oils on human skin can't further degrade this 2,000-year-old stele, which is one of the most important surviving historical texts in the world.
The Tower of Babel is not real, and it never was.
The Tower of Babel is a millennia-old religious story about a mythological tower, which serves as a mythological explanation for the origin of different human languages. Yes, there are some religious historians who speculate that the myth was inspired by one or another physical tower, but no, that doesn't prove anything other than "this is how many people in this cultural explained or understood that sort of event."
The Rosetta Stone, on the other hand, is an object of translation that actually exists

That picture is of a real object. It is not of a picture of a 3,000+ year old myth.
Our attempts to understand each other will not result in us being struck down by some force from on high!
And the true path to a world where we can all understand each other does not involve us all speaking the same language. That's racist bs
True understanding depends on ethical translation and language preservation, not on unity of language
This playthrough of Fable II has been…interesting.
Update: the thugs she brought in from Westcliff (who are recovering from last round) are shouting threats at one another while she’s going to town with the Bowerstone vendors that she brought in to take their places while they’re out of commission, what a game.

Make me as you are Tear the hands off clocks that tick away my final hours We'll rage against the light and leave the sun behind And feel the power of everlasting youth inside

im not saying we shouldn't be calling out hypocrisy but i do think it's important to be aware of what i call the Two Different Guys Fallacy. and that's that whenever you're thinking to yourself, oh how come X group claim they want this thing but also support that other incompatible thing. take a moment to stop and consider whether it could just be Two Different Guys that think each thing
A explicitly abusive version of [King Lear] robs us of our ability to feel for Lear. But an explicitly sympathetic Lear robs us of the ability to feel for his daughters. So I think the best version of Lear is exactly the one that Shakespeare wrote: ambiguous. It's the only version in which each character is frustratingly, but fascinatingly, complex. Cordelia loves her tyrannical and mercurial father, but she can't bring herself to say it. It's a paradox- and a question- so rich and sad that Shakespeare required a whole play to explore it.

Every time you go in a public place and something ISN’T disgusting it’s because somebody cleaned it. Every time you feel comfortable using a public bathroom or sitting at a restaurant table or setting something on a gas station counter or playing on a playground it’s because somebody cleaned it.
Thank you to everyone who cleans the world, especially those who are underpaid and under appreciated.
it's honestly very surprising that the manifesto Louis XVI left behind at the Tuileries is glossed over in almost all English works about him. Even Hardman's biography doesn't address it very much. But it's such a critical document to better understanding his mindset, his goals, how he viewed the revolution and was approaching it.
to copy a comment I made on a reblog a bit ago--
It brings to mind Louis XVI’s manifesto left behind before the flight to Montmedy.
While Louis XVI absolutely does address what he views as basic ideological and political concerns, the first detailed complaint (granted he does complain about the attempted murder first before getting into this–) is about the fact that the Tuileries palace wasn’t made ready for them and the layout being annoying:
The King, yielding to the wish expressed by the Parisian army, came to settle with his family at the Château des Tuileries. It was over a hundred years since the Kings had made their habitual residence there, except in the minority of Louis XV.
Nothing was ready to receive the King, and the layout of the old apartments was far from providing the conveniences to which His Majesty was accustomed in the other Royal houses, and which any private individual who was at ease could enjoy.
In the context of the manifesto, he places the complaint about the layout of the palace on the same level as his complaints about the stripping of any real royal power, shutting him out of creating laws or policies in the new government, frustrations regarding the Assembly’s tax plan, addressing the murders of various people associated with the old regime, etc etc.
Aside from being rather ludicrous to read, though, it gives a deeper insight into the impossible mental gap between the royal family and everyone else.
To them, these things that were frankly ridiculous–a palace layout, being seated on a normal chair with a royal cover instead of a throne–were of the utmost importance, on the same level as the attempted murder of the royal family and the actual murder of various people from 1789-1791.
How do you reconcile that with trying to get them to accept the new framework of a constitutional monarchy, even one which (per Barnave's attempts) would allow them more political power than the acting one?
--
Anyway I feel like in general, Louis XVI's actual writing--or what survives of it--is just not very well studied compared to Marie Antoinette's.
It's kind of like how people obsess over Marie Antoinette's letters to Fersen but only read them in the context of "Were they LOVERS?!?!" and not in the context of "these must be read and understood as being just one of the countless strings of correspondence she was sending out all over Europe at the same time, they are inherently political letters that can't be understood on their own."
