I get frustrated at the perception that you have to have a family or personal connection to a place to study it. I never know how to field the "how did you get interested in Austria? Is your family from there?" question.

Because, no, my family is from the Russian partition. But that doesn't mean I need to work on where my ancestors are from.

Paris/Helen in the Iliad so….shes his prize shes also his wife and he wants her because she’s so beautiful and so lovely and he won her, and some part of her wants him too but there’s two helens, one who lived in sparta and had a life there and one who left it all behind to run across the world with him and nobody knows which one she really is. maybe it would be comforting to say that she’s a ghost but that’s all in her mind she’s real and she’s THERE in the room WITH him and he’s tangible and beautiful and nothing like the ghosts she left at home. she only has one choice and maybe she would’ve chosen him even if she had another but neither of them will ever know because they were always puppets dancing on the strings of fate but in this light maybe they can see god in each other maybe thats why…idk

if anyone feels bad that their fic might contain medical inaccuracies, be comforted to know that whatever creative liberties you take with your medical scenes can never be worse than the one I just read. where one character tries to stop the bleeding on their friend's head wound by putting a tourniquet around their neck

careers in science & academia are so Cassandra-coded. you possess a Great and Burdensome Knowledge (at heavy cost*), which is both its own reward and its own punishment. and no one fucking listens to you

it's very important that disabled people are allowed to make bad decisions actually. that we're allowed to do things which cause flare-ups. that we're allowed to take a risk and get it wrong. that not every single second of our day has to be about playing it safe and being well-behaved and staying within our limits

and on the days when we deal with the consequences of those mistakes and bad decisions we're still worthy of a) sympathy and b) pain relief. just as we are if our illness or disability is the result of our choices in the first place

HIGHLY recommend having a Shepard with a face scar in ME1 because it disappears in ME2 with the whole Lazarus thing and that comes with an extra layer of subtle horror. You’ve been dead for two years. Cerberus took possession of your body, resurrected you, and implanted you with metal enhancements, and on top of it all you’re now missing a major facial feature. A part of who you were. Makes me want to eat rocks

Anyway I followed it up by watching this video, which cured my depression.

I have just seen a video on why video game characters need to be more "feminine" (which, it turns out, means "has emotions and can be soft") and it listed f!Eivor as a bad example and, not to suddenly make it 2021 again but...Eivor? EIVOR?

What's a difference between historians people who just like to study history?

idk maybe the fulltime yearslong professional training by other professionals and constant peer review aka quality control? what's the difference between a five star chef and someone who makes homemade meals every day.
