odysseus absolutely does present a threat to penelope if he perceives her as at all unfaithful, and i feel the unfairness of this, and i think people tend to undersell how much tension at least potentially exists between odysseus and penelope. but i'm also like. his reaction, all speculation aside, his actual reaction in the odyssey to her flirting with the suitors is delight, because he immediately ascertains that she is running a con. sorry that they're so in-sync in spite of the forces that try to drive a wedge between them, including their own misgiving hearts. sorry that they invented homophrosyne ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’d love to take a second to tell you all about Herb Kawainui Kāne.

Herb is one of the biggest figures in the Hawaiian cultural renaissance that took place in the 1970s. He was an artist, historian, and author with phenomenal skills and love for his people.

Kāne helped create the Polynesian Voyaging Society, a group that made its mark on the world with the revitalization of Polynesian seafaring and the Hōkūleʻa voyage. He even designed and helped build the Hōkūleʻa.

Kāne’s artwork is stunning so let’s just take a moment to behold his paintings. You can see these and so many more on his website.

And last but not least, my favorite piece of his, Eia Hawai’i

Behold, Hawai’i.

Every piece of dogshit art makes the world a better place to live. Better to create poorly than not at all.

BLOOD DONATIONS: TYPES/ELIGIBILITY - INFOMERCIAL

An infomercial I ended up making for my research into blood, (and hormones by proxy), and blood donations.

Of course, a lot of this information is very generalized, and some of these donations help patients with conditions outside of the ones I listed. But I know how important learning even just a bit more about these topics are for people. Honestly, before I researched this stuff I had a lot of preconceptions about blood donations and where they went that were entirely incorrect.

So hopefully this little quick explanation helps people understand a bit more and I hope it can take a bit of that fear/misconception away as well.
