The thing (one of the things) that I love about taking the bus is that sometimes a random woman gets out of the bus to run half a block to return a jacket left by another random woman, while the driver and all the passengers wait for her to deliver it and then come back and reboard, and afterwards when she gets off for real she wishes the driver the most heartfelt I hope you have a really good day you’ve ever heard, and you disembark walking on air over the small random kindnesses of humanity
and then five minutes later a different random woman walks up to you at the bus stop, yells a series of vague threats and slurs, and then walks away again, leaving you too bemused to even be properly disturbed
and then you get on another bus and join everyone already on it in looking at your phones and completely ignoring each other
and like, public transportation is such a microcosm of humanity and there is truly nothing else like it.

I gotta be honest if some random guy approached me in the street and asked me to tell him my paranormal trauma I'd literally just tell him? Like he wouldn't have to compel me I'd like to share. Free therapy for me, free story for him! Not my problem if it feeds an otherworldly overlord.

I’m ridiculously comically bad at some dexterity based skills. I’ve talked about being wretched at folding but I’m equally bad at cutting.
I worked at an oil and vinegar shop, cutting fresh bread for samples every day for a year with no improvement. My manager gave me repeated lessons and was absolutely perplexed that I was incapable of any growth. I genuinely tried so hard to no avail.
Usually my beloved will precut slices of the loaves they make because it’s just better all around. I don’t mess up the angle of the loaf or mangle the slice. Today they didn’t have time.
I have no explanation for how bad I am at this.

idk how to phrase this but something about how classicists who otherwise are very interested in breaking down the notion of authorship get almost performatively dismissive about Christian/messianic readings of Vergil’s 4th Eclogue is so fascinating to me. like yes obviously from a historicist point of view the 4th Eclogue is Not About That, but the transmission/reception cycle of the entire Vergilian corpus is inextricable from Medieval and Renaissance interpretatio Christiana and to be like “lol people thought this poem from the 30s BCE is about Jesus, isn’t that silly” feels very much like “look how much smarter we modern scholars are than our earlier counterparts” and refuses to engage with the idea that a text might have meaningful things to say about something it can’t possibly be ‘about’ in the strict historicist sense.
and on this point we might also think of the eerie scene of desolated fields of Thessaly and bodies crowding into “Pharsalia tecta” at Catullus 64.37, a poem which certainly predates the Battle of Pharsalus. if you pressed me on it, I wouldn’t say that Catullus had some magical prophetic knowledge - but I do think the Catullan text is haunted by the ghosts of Pharsalus, and that text only exists as a thing for us in modernity because of the hands of copyists who were themselves living in a post-Pharsalus world. and the same principle applies to Eclogue 4 I think
