Separation of church & state

Restaurants and bars really love to test your sobriety by making the route to their bathrooms as labyrinthine as possible

Everyone tagging this post with their local bars/restaurants that have ridiculous bathroom layouts.....I see u. I am u. We are all Odysseus, and our Ithaca is a toilet covered in stickers.

One time I was in Argentina and I was so tired of trying to speak Spanish because I'm not very good at it lmao so I broke into exasperated English and the retail seller girl quickly understood me and engaged me in conversation. We talked for a while, she introduced me to a makeup brand, and then I decided to buy it. While she was packaging the purchase, she asked me if I were from the US or perhaps the UK and I just said "oh no I'm Brazilian hahah" and she looked me straight in the eyes and said, in clear Portuguese, "I'm Brazilian too"

EVERY TIME SOMEONE BRINGS UP THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA I GET SO ANGRY.

but why

Because it got burned. All of that knowledge, lost forever.

The library was destroyed over 1000’s of years ago. The library consisted of thousands of scrolls and books about mathematics, engineering, physiology, geography, blueprints, medicine, plays, & important scriptures. Thinkers from all over the Mediterranean used to come to Alexandria to study.Most of the major work of civilization up until that point was lost. If the library still survived till this day, society may have been more advanced and we would sure know more about the ancient world.

That graphic grinds my gears every time I see it

Remember this when you’re conquering. Keep the books.

THIS HURTS MY HEART SO MUCH EVERY TIME ITS BROUGHT UP

I want genre movies with all the genre conventions but set in historical period pieces. I want paranormal horror in the mesopotamia. I want an ancient greek heist movie. I want a scifi invasion film set during the 1500s, I want fast and the furious type movie but set in 1800s napoleonic france.

the x-files theme just started playing in my head but like... with mandolins
