you gotta read, you gotta write, you gotta draw, you gotta watch films and shows. there is literally NO time to be employed

"doing X every day until Y happens" videos except it's [redacted] an oil executive every day until we stop getting catastrophic heat waves and wildfires every fucking summer

you can just war theory your way through the epic cycle as much as you want but the fact remains that the trojan war is the story of a foreign army killing and enslaving a city full of men, women, and children who had nothing to do with helen

tbh postwar british school curriculums love a Horrors Of War text so it makes total sense they would pick the iliad if they're choosing. they love to make teenagers grapple with atrocities at 9am on a tuesday. they'll give you war poets and book 18 of the iliad and be like "right what does this combo teach us" and the teenagers will be like "that it really sucks to watch people you care about die in a pointless war" and your teacher will be like "correct. so anyway, we've got a careers fair this afternoon and the army will be there,"

“average Doctor is really really cool” factoid actually just statistical error. average Doctor is very uncool. The ninth doctor who wore a leather jacket 24/7 and told a dalek to kill himself is an outlier and should not have been counted

obviously people should be able to do whatever they want with their appearance but it's so tragic how many men there are walking around out there who would look like 10x hotter with long hair & who will probably never even try it . or even think of it

“it isnt something you have to read critically” well 😭

this technically is true but I think this also perfectly encapsulates why I am inherently distrustful of like. “”cozy”” “turn your brain off” fiction lmfao. like okay WHO gets to turn their brain off and who has to suffer through bigoted caricatures of themselves while everyone else is having cozy silly no brain time 😐

i am terminally A Sucker for characters who have a towering and generally earned ego about their own ability and absolutely no self-worth about themselves as a person at all. intoxicating combo.
