*explaining kitchen appliances to my pet medieval knights* The microwave, or Micheal the Wavious, and metal fork, or Sir Silver Prong, are sworn enemies and can never cross paths lest their meeting spell destruction for all.
ok I don’t know if it’s something in the water today or if I liked a post that was stealthily terrible but I’ve ran into like six different “based on your likes!” posts today that are the absolute vilest transphobia I’ve seen in months and I Do Not Fucking Care For It
hey ladies, if your “activism” is keyboard-warrioring nonstop hateful bullshit at one of the most vulnerable populations in the world, you aren’t a feminist, you’re a coward punching down at an easy target because you don’t even have it in you to fight your own internalized bioessentialism, let alone your systemic oppression by the very system you’re tacitly reinforcing
Plato makes up Atlantis as an allegory and over 2,000 years later people are still looking for it. You might as well be looking for Narnia.
Plato: Luxury and unlimited power are forces that corrupt human beings and lead them to being colonialist and stupid. The gods will punish Athens if we continue to exploit others for our own gain. I have invented this society as a parable to illustrate my point because I tend to use metaphor for a lot of things.
Everyone: But where are you hiding it though
Plato: I’ve purposefully included details like a mud shoal west of Iberia that doesn’t exist and references to a volcanic eruption that we all have cultural memory of as an obvious indication that I made this up. Are you paying attention? It’s a metaphor. I’m using literary references. You can go west of Iberia yourself. It’s not there. I explained where it is and it’s not there. You all know it’s not there. Please stop it with the luxury and exploitation. That’s my main point here.
Everyone: Yeah but where is it though
Plato: Orichalcum is just a fancy looking metal. It’s kinda like fancy copper. I made it up for this fake parable city.
Everyone: So it’s magic, then.
Plato: I want Athens to be a bit more like Sparta.
Everyone: Where’s the magic metal
Plato: I just think that greed is bad, generally. We should stop doing that.
I know I post too many pictures of Tribble in the water, but I cannot get over how his fur doesn’t get wet but floats around him. He’s been in the creek for 10 minutes now.
