hollis (they/them) currently studying classics and archaeology.
i once heard a someone praise the LIRR as a fantastic example of what public transport should be like and it was at that moment i fully realized exactly how pathetic and broken public transport in the usa really is.
heist movie but it’s just me trying to get my birth certificate from my parents’ house so i can legally change my name
I think an underappreciated thing about alexander scaplehorn (tax inspection guy) in TMA is that he was just too open minded and accepting for an avatar of the stranger to have much of an effect at first. he saw the taxidermied corpse of a man possessed by the concept of uncanny valley and was like “This guy says weird things, won’t make eye contact, and is surrounded by old taxidermied animals? Ohhhh, yeah my cousin is autistic too. It’s really not a big deal, we’ve all got our quirks. :)” Like he would catch himself getting unnerved by the shop and then chastise himself for being judgmental. King.
i think we need to put a moratorium on cis people using “AFAB” and “AMAB.” they’re getting a bit too comfortable with it.
“why are you focusing on hating jk rowling getting money instead of the actual laws being passed?” yeah bro those laws do seem pretty awful and transphobic. i wonder who’s lobbying for them?
i like how in Ovid’s version of Orpheus and Eurydice he wrote about how Orpheus never loved another woman after losing Eurydice…but he kept fuckin’ guys on the reg.
once when i was baking with my dad as a little kid and we were adding vanilla extract he went “Smells really good, right? How about you taste it.” probably expecting me to just take a tiny taste, but instead I gulped like half the bottle at once and then started crying and threw up.
my current favorite flavor of schadenfreude is TERFs crying about how people stop talking to them or are mean to them for being transphobes. good!! i hope nobody interacts with you!! i hope you’re lonely and unloved and when you get hit by a truck nobody even glances your way!
medea and clytemnestra are two mythological characters that i am incapable of being normal and restrained about. but i am also incapable of producing any sort of coherent deeper analysis about them. im just watching/reading the plays and going GOOD!!! SHE SHOULD MURDER WHOEVER SHE WANTS FOR REVENGE!!! HE HAD IT COMING!!!
