I still think it’s funny how the Exagoge a Hellenistic Jewish play about the Exodus story written in the Ptolemaic period had to include a line where God tells Moses “it is impossible for a mortal to see my face, but it is possible to hear my words”bc Greek attendees would’ve been really confused about getting to the exciting scene where a god appears and would’ve been expecting Yahweh’s actor to be lowered from the ceiling astride a chariot and would’ve been scratching their head wondering if there was technical issues with the crane or something bc like where’s the god i was expecting a cool exciting entrance of a god they clearly got the burning bush effect to work like maybe that did happen during the opening run and they had to quickly insert that line
How is this the first I have heard of the Exagoge in my slightly-over-half-century of life. HOW.
From the Wikipedia article on the play's author, Ezekiel the Tragedian:
Exagōgē is a five-act drama written in iambic trimeter, retelling of the biblical story of The Exodus from Egypt. Moses is the main character of the play, and parts of the biblical story have been altered to suit the narrative's needs. These changes probably point to Ezekiel's intention to stage the play, since certain scenes that are impossible to stage were converted into monologue. This drama is unique in blending the biblical story with the Hellenistic tragic drama; Erich S. Gruen writes that "the choice itself of that tale suggests an appeal to pride in national history and tradition produced in a quintessentially Hellenic mode."
... So you're telling me this was Alexandria's Prince of Egypt? That's what you're telling me?
I can't remember the last time I went so quickly from complete ignorance of a thing to a passionate need to experience it.
The start of Exodus in iambic pentameter:
Threescore and ten were Jacob's offspring all; And Joseph dwelt already in the land. Then Joseph died, and all his brethren too, And all that generation passed from earth. Yet Israel's seed increased and waxèd strong; They multiplied and filled the fruitful realm. Then in the land of Egypt rose a king, To whom the name of Joseph meant but naught. Unto his folk he spoke and thus declared: "Behold, the sons of Israel grow too great; Their multitude exceeds our strength by far. Come, let us deal with them by subtle means, Lest they increase yet more in days to come. And should there rise the tumult of a war, They may unite with our most deadly foe, To battle us, then from this land all go"

Just using the dog's ear as a blanket..
i had a dream that time travel was invented and too many people choose to travel back in time to save the titanic from sinking (the question of whether unsinking of the titanic deserved so much attention in the face of human history was the subject of both heavy academic and online discourse), which caused a rift in the space-time-continuum that led to the titanic showing up indiscriminately all over the world’s oceans and sea in various states of sinking.
this caused a lot of issues both in terms of fixing said space-time-continuum and in terms of nautical navigation, and after a long and heavy battle in the international maritime organization it was decided that the bureaucratic burden of dealing with this was to be upon Ireland, much to their dismay. the Irish Government then released an app for all sailors and seafarers so they could report titanic sightings during their journeys, even though they heavily dissuaded you from reporting them given the paperwork it caused.
anyway i woke up with a clear image of the app in my head and needed to recreate it for all of you:
no you don't understand. i do international regulation of emerging technologies for a living. this WAS me stress dreaming about work
Fucking love Peregrine Falcons
Marvelous
In urban areas, where it tends to nest on tall buildings or bridges, it subsists mostly on a variety of pigeons. Among pigeons, the rock dove or feral pigeon comprises 80% or more of the dietary intake of peregrines.
In many parts of its range, peregrines now also nest regularly on tall buildings or bridges; these human-made structures used for breeding closely resemble the natural cliff ledges that the peregrine prefers for its nesting locations.
A study testing the flight physics of an "ideal falcon" found a theoretical speed limit at 400 km/h (250 mph) for low-altitude flight and 625 km/h (388 mph) for high-altitude flight. In 2005, Ken Franklin recorded a falcon stooping at a top speed of 389 km/h (242 mph).

The males are about one third the size of the females, and are known as "tiercels". Also, their nostrils are shaped like fighter jet engine intakes - this slows down the air, so they don't get air entering their lungs at 250mph.

I love this picture so much! Post it whenever I come across it.

The little girl’s name is Butedmaa and she was just 5 when this picture was taken in 2003 by Han Chengli.
(I used to have a printout of this at my desk at work because I just loved looking at it so much.)
so what you're gonna do is you're gonna trim the top off a bulb of garlic, using the knife's edge to take off the tip of every individual clove, that's important. you're gonna place the garlic face-up in a square of tinfoil, drizzle with olive oil, wrap completely in foil, place in baking tray, repeat with a copious amount of garlic bulbs. you're gonna put that baking tray in an oven set to 375-400°F, for 30-50 minutes, until soft and browned. you're gonna toast some good bread, slather generously with butter and honey, maybe a tiny lil bit o' salt. and then. you're gonna SQUEEZE. OUT. THAT. ROASTED GARLIC. onto the butter honey toast. and you're gonna eat it. food stolen directly from the plate of the gods. that's what you're gonna do.
the garlic. it beckons you
It occurs to me that "1920s gangster doing a cooking show while holding you at gunpoint" is an untapped market.
We've had normal cooking shows. Now we need period piece cooking shows in character.
I'm uh.
Just going to point out that this happened, and then go into hiding (with, I hope, somewhat improved opsec) before somebody puts a horse head in my bed.
Now, horse head should be cooked on a low heat with plenty of brazing liquid. You can use the rest of the horse to make beef burgers and pork sausages.
OTOH, a cathartic victory over Croatia, eight years on.
I made a little zine!

Please call your representatives: VOTE NO on the FEDERAL BOOK BANNING BILLS HR 2616, HR 8705, and HR 7661!

Maia always makes these actions clear and accessible and I so appreciate eir work.
If you don't know who your Senators or Representatives are, you can use Ballotpedia's Who Represents Me tool! (Note: there's a field for you to input your email address on their page, but it's not necessary to get your results. They just need a mailing address to confirm who your reps are.)
Once you've got names, you can look up and save your Reps' phone numbers in your phone. I find this makes it easier when I'm wavering about feeling brave enough to place a call. Just pressing a button instead of going and looking up the phone number all over again makes it just a liiiiittle easier, and sometimes that makes the difference between calling and not calling!
YOU CAN DO IT.
My emotions about space travel, and the history of, are strong today.
Okay aside from the inherent coolness of seeing a rocket launch from an airline flight, this is an awesome shot because it gives a sense of perspective on just how fast that vehicle is going that ground-based filming can't usually achieve.
And that's still early in the burn, so it's only a tiny fraction of orbital speed.
easy to miss that one of the reasons maternal mortality is diminished so extremely by modern medicine is that modern medicine makes it so much more possible to identify the pregnancies that will die and take you with them, or are otherwise unacceptably high risk. and then discontinue those ones safely, before it's too late.
thought about this because it's so frustrating when people argue that 'dying in childbirth' is a historical sort of event that doesn't happen nowadays (false) and therefore is irrelevant to the legal status of abortion, since it's not a real danger.
except it super is, and i think a lot of people haven't noticed that this argument in addition to simply being incorrect is basically the same as when people say we don't need vaccines for deadly diseases because no one gets those now anyway.
like yeah one reason for that is we vaccinate everybody ffs.
In the USA, you are more likely to die while pregnant than during nine months as a firefighter (with the job of running into burning buildings)

always doing something annoying
can I be honest? I was so pissed off by friends and family criticizing my soap choice that, for half a year, I did an experiment where I washed one hand with Palmolive and one with handsoap, to prove that it didn't make your skin any rougher. and do you know what the result is? it does make your skin rougher. and now I'm even more pissed off.
I love this. This is the beauty of the honest scientific process. You had an idea, you tested it and you still reported the results even though the results disproved your idea.
It's ok to be mad at it, you're an honest scientist.
You don't need much - a decent computer, layout software, a laser printer, and a basic time/space machine.
I scour news sites for good news, then write them up, design my zine, print it out, and send copies to my subscribers, a month ago.
Gives them a bit of hope, something to look forward to.
