out of all the couples in greek mythology i UNDERSTAND why persephone and hades were the ones that were taken out of their original context to be made into a cute pair by popculture (and i dont really have an issue w this bc its sooo far removed from the actual canon) BUT.... some real untapped potential with hephaestus and aphrodite in different contexts. worlds hottest woman (barring helen) going to bat for her husband that everyone else thinks is butt ass ugly, but shes like im literally the ceo of hotness and i think hes sexy so either get over it or die idc
online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.
and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.
there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.
i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

good morning. lets go over your assignments for the day:
for all boys/men/mascs: today you're going to draw the first pet you ever had in mspaint (or any other simple art program available.)
for all girls/women/femmes: today you're going to write a poem for a stranger you remember from your real life that stuck in your mind, despite your very brief window of knowing them.
for all nonbinary/androgynous people: break day, so you get silent reading time in the bean bag chairs.
Twitter users are defending their right to assume Picasso was a renaissance artist. Tiktok users think watching any film made outside the US makes you a snob. “Replace classic lit with YA and fan fiction” discourse is flourishing. I think we’re just living in anti intellectual times.
