Well,

The amount of slavery in Ancient Rome was legitimately terrifying tbh

Y’all know that I’m into ancient Roman history and I do a lot of research on it but even though I should be used to it by now sometimes I read an anecdote about how an individual slave was treated and I’m hit with the realization that like a third of the population was living like that and I just need to put my head in my hands for a second

When you study ancient history you’re reminded that slavery has never once been kind or justified. It just takes on different forms of evil in every time and place that it infects.

Nobody really knows what makes a person go to bed

"i get a little bit genghis khan" was such a strange and delightful thing to say in a pop song

a ring camera is like if a mezuzah was evil

they’re considerably less terrible outside of an urban environment tbh. like a camera pointed at empty woods or your own private drive is between you and the raccoons that live in your yard. but it would be nice if we could all try to live in a way where people minding their own business and walking through their own neighborhood aren’t living in a panopticon with 20 cameras pointed at them at any given time

once I snorted a fat line of nuance and everything started depending. watch out

if doing the dishes always takes you 10 minutes then why does it feel like being trapped in a gemstone for a century

oh, & I'm going to be tracking these three as 273sm, 273md, and 273lg, since they are all different sizes!
