It always bugs me when people describe Shakespeare’s plays as “timeless”. Yes, the plots in their broad strokes are easily adapted to any era, but the plays as written are literally the opposite of timeless. Dude was obsessed with pop culture, and practically every other line is either an obscure metatextual in-joke or a reference to something that Only 1590s Kids Will Get – that’s why the annotations are longer than the actual text!

The most hardcore gang initiation you’ll ever see.

Ex-wife tries to take everything from me, then asks me if I would be kind enough to take some of her clothes to her.

warning: long story.

This is kind of a two-fer. First, when my ex-wife and I were still married, she got mad at me for “ruining” her clothes by washing them. She told me, “If you can’t separate my clothes properly, I don’t want you washing them at all.” My ex was a really entitled person who had never lived on her own, aside from living with me, she’d only ever lived at home with her parents where everything was done for her. Her mom didn’t cook or clean or do anything, either. They had a maid for that (and still do). When she told me she didn’t want me washing her clothes, I said, “Okay.” She said, “I’ll just do them myself.” She never did. She complained that I didn’t separate her clothes properly, but in a previous discussion, I’d pointed out that she wants me to separate her clothes for her, but she doesn’t even separate her pants from her underwear. She took them off in what I called “fireman style.” She took them off all at once, leaving the pants inside out with the underwear still attached to them, like a fireman’s pants and boots.
