i found a list of stock characters in ancient greek media

tag yourself i’m the man of petty ambition

ok ok that thing about shackling people down with morals so you can feel more comfortable about their existence, it puts into words the feeling i get when zionists ask palestinian/pro palestinian people to condemn hamas first in their fight for liberation. i feel like beyond the question not being asked in good faith, it’s also because zionists first and foremost hate palestinians, they have to, palestinian existence makes them uncomfortable. so to hear and see calls for the existence that brings them so much discomfort, they must play a battle of morals. they get on their high horses to trample on palestinian liberation, because if you condemn hamas then really you can’t blame or condemn the settler colonial state in return because it’s hamas they’re fighting against, even though this is very clearly not the case. they’re unsettled tho because even when they get the answer they want, people are still against the settler colonial state. they can’t fathom it.

I don't know if this was unusual for a child to think about but when kids in media had bigger cooler homes and exciting lives and more friends and obviously more money than me it only made me sad. And I felt really aware of how the narratives were showing this off in a way that I was supposed to love? Like it was supposed to endear me to this cartoon child that they get a huge whimsical bedroom or they travel the world but instead I was six years old already feeling an emotion I only now understand was a sense of "wow fuck this asshole." Worse when the plot revolved around how unhappy they are about it.

I still see that most animated or otherwise fictional children have bigger houses than I've almost ever been in. If you really wanna relate to kids, especially NOW, you ought to have them crammed in a one bedroom efficiency apartment with a tarp over the rotten part of the floor, or a trailer with so many mice the whole family has to store everything in plastic containers and still rinse the little turds off the lid every so often. Where's all the black mold and perpetual flea infestations in kids fiction? You know the stuff real kids deal with

MIT graphene breakthrough could make chips one million times faster

Researchers at MIT and several other universities have discovered that graphene can be used to slow light down below the speed of electrons to create an intense beam of light.

The researchers call the effect an “optic boom”, since it is similar to the sonic boom caused by shock waves when a jet breaks the speed of sound.

A master post of Thomas Romain’s art tutorials.

There’s not enough space to post all of them, SO here’s links to everything he has posted (on twitter) so far : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. 

Now that new semesters have started, I thought people might need these. Enjoy your lessons!

I recently discovered laundry stripping and y’all, no matter how much of a crock of shit you think fast fashion is, you’re underestimating.
