my fave greek history story to tell is that of agnodice. like she noticed that women were dying a lot during childbirth so she went to egypt to study medicine in alexandria and was really fucking good but b/c it was illegal for women to be doctors in athens she had to pretend to be a man. and then the other doctors noticed that she was 10x better than them and accused her of seducing and sleeping with the women patients. like they brought her to court for this. and she just looked at them and these charges and stripped in front of everyone like “yeah. im not fucking your wives” and then they got so mad that a woman was better at their jobs then them that they tried to execute her but all her patients came to court and were like “are you fucking serious? she is the reason you have living children and a wife.” so they were shamed into changing the law and that is how women were given the right to practice medicine in athens

Yeah, this isn’t some Greek myth story about a hero or demigod or something, Agnodice was a real person who actually did this.

Fun romantic senario: Youre bandaging my wounds and calling me a reckless idiot but youre in a time loop so you are quietly hinting at knowing I was going to be hurt anyways and asking me to PLEASE be careful. Little do you know, I am also stuck in this time loop with you, and I keep injuring myself in the same way every time. Dont get it twisted- Im not doing this to experience your touch or anything, Im just doing this so every time I can say something different and slowly drive you insane. Nobody pays me to do this I do it because I enjoy it. When you finally escape this time loop I will simply find another time-stuck guy and do the same thing. It ain't much but its dishonest work!

It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

If a worker who isn't the owner says ANYTHING similar to "I'm not really supposed to do this but-" and then does something that helps you, under no circumstances inform the business, including through reviews. You tell them that the worker was polite, professional, the very model of customer service and why you like to go there. You do not breathe a word of the rulebreaking.

When I say there are things that Israel will never ever take away from Palestinians I also mean the way the fight for Palestine is ingrained into almost every aspect of our lives, down to even the names we give our children who come decades and decades after our initial Nakba.

For example, Bisan is a very popular girls name in Palestine and it is the name of a Palestinian city that was depopulated by Israel in 1948. Girls with names like Bisan, Yafa and Jenin may not have seen these cities yet, but they carry them within them regardless.

Also, many Palestinians can identify with how our aunts and uncles have symbolic names such as A'ed or A'eda which mean returnee. These names were not chosen arbitrarily by our grandparents who were forced to raise their families in refugee camps. Similarly, there are names that are very common to this day like Thaer (revolutionary), Bassel (courageous) and Nidhal (revolutionary struggle).

We are literally walking around carrying notions of Palestine and our struggle with us and planting the seeds of resistance within our children, we must be so frustrating!

I’m just so fucking pissed off man if they can surgically airstrike international volunteer food workers three consecutive times to ensure their operation is wiped out completely what the fuck is left for anyone to say

kill one group of aid workers with explicit intent so that all other potential or currently operating aid organizations pull out of the region to ensure gaza starves with no one willing to risk helping her people. deep sickness
