this place is such a mess of imperial & metric they'll be like 'okay so for this job the fabric is 17 meters long. start 5 inches in, mark every 90 cm, and do a half inch hem all the way along" bestie please just pick one......

#thoughts #there is a certain logic here actually in that it's bc the orders come in in metric but they want to be sewing in imperial. but come on now

Latin Literature Tournament - Round 1

Propaganda under the cut!

Lucretius Propaganda:

His description of atomism is pretty damn accurate for an ancient Roman poet with literally no clue what the fuck he's talking

In this house we love Epicureanism

Carmina sublimis tunc sunt peritura Lucreti / exitio terras cum dabit una dies

Petronius Propaganda

You really can't go wrong with the Cena Trimalchionis--crazy food, astrology, werewolves...there's really something for everyone

When Nero ordered him to commit suicide, through a sumptuous party about it and broke all his expensive stuff so Nero couldn't take it. Queen Shit

Part Menippean satire, part Greek novel: a genuinely Wild fucking combo that makes one of the weirdest and coolest pieces of Latin prose out there

#NOOO LUCRETIUS.......... #my best friend lucretius speak to me......

this sewing machine job they've put me on at work is fine generally but it's making me sweat bc they don't bother with pins here so they'll be like 'do it at an inch and a half' and you just have to go along with a ruler & hold it in place

#<- guy who compulsively uses pins when he's sewing himself #thoughts

"... at Toulon, during the hours of repose, which were for Jean Valjean hours of reverie, this gloomy galley-slave, seated with folded arms upon the bar of some capstan, with the end of his chain thrust into his pocket to prevent its dragging, serious, silent, and thoughtful, a pariah of the laws which regarded the man with wrath, condemned by civilization, and regarding heaven with severity."

#kind of half-a-drawing bc i have to go to bed apologies for the giving only the sketchy suggestion of ships & nothing else askdhfjs #trying to get back into the habit of drawing every day. #but anyways this passage really stuck with me idk. i liked it #also i TRIED to get what he's wearing to at least have a resemblance of historical accuracy but who knows. #thoughts #my art #les mis #jean valjean #<- also not quite how he's actually described as sitting on rereading this but oh well lol

I love it when there's a couple but then there's a third guy who's also there and he's part of it but not like romantically he's just a part of the couple but like....platonically
