gonna start keeping a suspiciously detailed hard-copy personal diary & drop numerous “offhand” hints providing valuable historical insight into mundane life in 21st century usa

dear diary, today i wanted to take the bus home (public transit is underfunded and unreliable) so i checked my phone (everyone carries a glowing rectangle with them at all times) but the transit schedules weren’t yet updated so i had to wait half an hour. when i arrived home i microwaved leftovers (we did not cook fresh food daily, despite year-round access to ingredients, heating, and refrigeration) and ate it while answering emails at midnight (work colonized free time)

yo mama so fragmentary it's not clear that all her parts are of the same person

i just think it's neat that odysseus gets put in a position where he has to kill his child to avoid going to war and he can't do it and then agamemnon gets put in a position where he has to kill his child to go to war and he does it

people's tags on this are so frustrating. yes i know both of them kill other people's young children and do many other war crimes as well. i could not be less interested in comparing their relative merits as human beings and deciding why one of them is worse or less sympathetic than the other. i'm just interested in kinslaying here because i think it's cool.

#everyone tagging this some variant of 'thats why agamemnon sucks' or 'low bar for odysseus'#you misunderstand. i think kinslaying is good and cool and characters should do more of it.
