"Publishers accused the nonprofit of infringing copyrights in 127 books from authors like Malcolm Gladwell, C.S. Lewis, Toni Morrison, J.D. Salinger and Elie Wiesel, by making the books freely available through its Free Digital Library.

The archive, which hosts more than 3.2 million copies of copyrighted books on its website, contended that the library was transformative because it made lending more convenient and served the public interest by promoting "access to knowledge.""

No because like I can't remember how much is canon and how much is canon so if like it's blatantly said than oops but.... Shen yuan is one of four siblings. And he's from modern china. And is like a full grown adult.

Aka the one child policy exists and maybe I'm hung up on minor details but I read that one director (because the fine is calculated on income) was like over a million for three kids. And like I swear it's said or implied he comes from a well off family so like how rich do you have to be to like shrug off that kinda fine?????

do you ever think about how we have phannies in every field? like we have doctors and baristas and mental health therapists and geologists and audiologists and engineers and neuroscientists and authors and social media consultants and activists and child care workers and museum managers and teachers and biologists and emts and linguists and accessibility coaches and sign language interpreters and artists and musicians and editors and actors and chefs and fucking EVERYTHING. not to mention the specific knowledge bases and hobbies we have outside of our professions—coding, linguistic and cultural diversity, artistic creativity, political/social awareness, passion for justice, research, make up and hair and fashion design, media literacy, philosophy, all of our special interests/hyperfixations, etc. we could run a successful commune no problem at all. we’re so smart and talented and resourceful and powerful.

the phandom is rooted in a past of being infamously shitty, and i do see yall slipping back into old habits sometimes (mostly on twitter but sometimes here and you know it <3) but it’s pretty fucking cool how capable this community is and our ability to unify. anyway phanmune when.

(if you want, leave your knowledge base/skills in the tags or replies. can be profession, hobby, major/program of study, what you study in your free time, what you want to learn about, what you’re interested, all of the above, anything)

Diomedes - Sources and Research Doc

Realized that some of the links were still restricted to view, so I fixed those now! ALL papers should be accessible freely now (without needing to sent a request) I also added a few things like: 1. Maps in the mythic and historical world of ancient greece 2. Links to Depictions of Diomedes in ancient art 3. More papers! I added another 8 or so 4. A Family Tree!

Should you notice any more links or pdfs that dont work as they should /don't have free access please notify me so I fix it asap!

one trc opinion i have that i don't really have an entire explanation for is that i think blue and henry are the only characters with like a normal knowledge of pop culture. like they've seen movies they've heard music. henry definitely more than blue but despite the fact that blue's tastes would be more weird I DO think she knows about more mainstream things. she has heard top 40 radio she has watched a disney channel movie she is capable of making references. everyone else on the other hand? gansey is not aware of anything that came into being this century. adam gives strong 'doesn't listen to music' energy. you ask him what he likes and he's like i don't know. i just don't listen to music. ronan is probably the most perplexing case because we already know he had a weird fucking childhood in which he only read alice in wonderland (and i believe it) and YET in his routine in cdth he has a designated 'movie night'. WHAT movies is he watching! i simply refuse to believe this man is capable of making a Reference. at least not a normal one. he'll just cite whatever irish myth his dad told him about as if everyone else is gonna be like oh you're so right ronan this is JUST like that part in the táin bó cúailnge. am i making any sense tonight ladies. gansey does not know who taylor swift is

I keep forgetting to stop gatekeeping this resource but if you're in a Greek mythology fandom and you want one verified source to help you fact check or better understand Greek stories/culture, please please please use theoi.com

It's kinda visually outdated looking but it's an enormous database of myths sorted by relevant deity, with an extensive photo collection of ancient artwork so you can better see how gods/heroes were visually represented.

They also have a digital library sorted by time period of Greek/Latin literature, including free translated versions of the Iliad and Odyssey.

I learned about theoi in my first year of college- it came highly recommended to me by my classics & ancient mediterranean professor. It's a vetted, reliable resource!

hot take on billford is that the secret third thing is obsession with being seen by someone for the first time in each of their lives

Rewatching TFA, for the hundredth time in a row, and I've got to say. I used to think Sari was, kind of annoying, during my first initial watch and sometimes. The things she does makes me go wide-eyed and gripping at the screen going, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

But then now, as I'm rewatching it hundreds of times over. I have to physically remind myself that she is a child.

And not only that, but she was a child that was BARELY raised properly. She didn't have other children to socialize around, she had a robot teacher, a robot dog companion, and her occasionally in her life father who was busy manufacturing robots, entertaining the ideas of tours and etcetera.

So maybe, yes. I can definitely understand why she does rash things, and act the way she does. I understand why she's seen as a social outcast amongst other groups of kids (like in the show, ON HER BIRTHDAY).

And I'm not as mad as her, as anybody should be for a child who was raised/taught the wrong things or having not been taught at all.

However...

THIS GUY.

IS A WHOLE 'NOTHER CASE.

I JUST WANNA-
