The Lamentable Cheese Thrower

i am well aware of the absolutely fucked up things eating disorders do to people’s brains, and i am sympathetic, but I still think acknowledging publicly that these celebrities are promoting looking emaciated on death’s door is important. Can you imagine being 13 and seeing this shit? Every celebrity event looks like a thinspo board, it’s awful.

People talk about women's bodies far too much; this is true. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't be addressing the elephant in the room of insane weight loss and eds. it isnt fucking normal or healthy

The really funny part is that many modern sources that want to gas up Sparta will bring up this specific anecdote, but stop at the "if" and just not mention what happened immediately afterwards.

similarly, "μολὼν λαβέ" (come and take them) is a really cool thing to say, made significantly less cool by having them taken

they got married btw

I can’t believe I have to say this but this not a pro cheating on your partner post you absolute troglodytes

History isn't written by the victors it's written by the guys who write stuff down

And who told them to do that, exactly?

Are you insinuating that only winners are capable of creating propaganda or writing history books because that’s kinda an ill-informed take dude not gonna lie

The US lost the Vietnam war and yet as an American, surprise surprise, most of the stuff I read about it or information I even have access to about it is from an American perspective. Most of the English language information out there is from the American perspective. In some areas of the country children are still taught that we won the war. Propaganda and history writing by the losers is not a new thing. Ramses ii of Egypt lost the battle of kadesh big time but he still built gigantic friezes saying what a great job he did. The victors aren’t always the ones with the gigantic war memorials and super widely spoken language.

This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

I hope your vibrator runs out of battery halfway through and that the charger is on the other side of the room. And also that you die

i really love how you can tell how much happier she is
