vibe cleanse: this bumper sticker

I think the fact that Dionysius of Halicarnassus accuses the Attis cult of τερθρεία μυθική (“pedantry in religion,” as LSJ puts it) proves that trans women have *always* been autistic

Quandoquidem multa hodie evenere, nec, utrum boni, an mali fuisse aestimem, scio, hoc epitaphium scripsi homini, qui mihi semper fuisse videbatur scelestus, fratri vero minus, quippe cuj carus fuerat. utcunque se habet, s.t.t.l.

would it be ethically justified for a time-traveller to withhold oestrogen from young Plotinus so that his contributions to philosophy could remain the same? it might seem cruel, but would a world without Enneads 5.8 be worth living in?

apparently feeling completely alien to the world and your body is called “dissociation” and is a “mental illness” and “not an sign of your dedication to the philosophic life”

really, you couldn't make The Office today. all the laws of copyright and patent still apply, it's nowhere near public domain, a whole team of lawyers would eat you for breakfast and argue over who gets the wishbone

really this game is about so much more than one person. in my house we call it Us-Gi-Oh

I live in one of the host cities and this isn’t a joke to us. The city government is calling for mass mobilization to change all the World Cup banners to now say Girled Cup. It’s going to cost us $600m to make all these changes. My city is going bankrupt over Girled Cup

They force-feminized all the World Cup players and now it’s called the Girled Cup. They did this due to woke and gender. The sport is called footovary now too sorry. Girled Cup

ARMA VIRUMQUE CANO ⚔️🏛️🌿

How is this stuff getting worse???

surely there must be some joke about declining the word ‘occidens’. “occidens, occidentem, (etc.)” “quid agis?” “facio, ut occidens declinetur” but this makes no sense unless we take L&S II.C as our meaning, but then the bilingual pun is ruined. sadly I can’t see a way of preserving the ambiguity ☹️

the problem with repeatedly telling people that I lack internality is that it makes me anxious that I *actually* lack internality every time I zone out for a second. which is fine, because I don’t have internality and can’t feel anxious

they call me Amelia because they don’t know how to spell and also because of my ἀμέλεια τῶν περὶ τοῦ σώματος

Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents is the *only* non-paywalled news outlet I can find that reported on her murder without humiliating her memory. She also has a memorial page on @tdorinfo.bsky.social tdor.translivesmatter.info/reports/2026...

Kva skal ein tenke om at desse folka skriv rett ut at dei a) driv med referansejuks b) er sure for at dei ikkje lenger får drive med referansejuks c) aldri eigentleg har brydd seg om integriteten til forskinga

Instead of Harry Potter in Latin, some actual literature that's been translated into our language: the Rigveda, the Upanishads, the Ramayana, the Analects, the Qur'an, the Divine Comedy, Don Quijote, the poetry of Goethe and Schiller

🍏

I did hear this language from a trans person IRL, but in like 2010, and I saw arcane variations on it online later, but in the last decade at least, it's been exclusively from cis people. It cedes too much to cissexism, so of course we rejected it and of course cis people love it

For my newsletter, I wrote about the killing of Juniper Blessing and ruminated on who the media thinks deserves attention in death. Friday newsletters are usually paywalled, but I have made the mini-essay portion of this post free to all: www.burnsnotice.com/her-name-was...

Las også denne i går. Så lenge nokon kan bli brutalt drepne berre for å eksistere, så er eg ikkje så opptatt av om ofra utgjer eit "ontologisk problem" for konservative redaktørar

It's finally out! Polytheistic Platonism Collected Essays by @epbutler.bsky.social With a preface by Michael Griffin And an introduction by me! prometheustrust.co.uk/product/poly...

I didn’t really mean to write this today but perhaps some Artemisian daemon inspired me (I would hope!). I felt it would be a shame to have to wait for next year to add it to my public calendar. conjectanea.com/2026/05/06/n...

Dawkins spending his entire career berating basically pretty normal people for being so stupid as to believe in God and then immediately giving himself Roko's Basilisk Derangement Syndrome after talking to the AI catgirl waifus is just the funniest shit.

Hodie natalis celebratur Ephesiae Dianae, quae maximo honore habita est. Quum Latona pareret geminos in luco urbi affini, Junoque illuc clam reperet, Curetes eam absterruerunt, ut dominam Dianam tutarentur, neque vagitus infantis deae audirentur. Apud Plautum hanc precem invenimus Ephesiae Dianae.

I got an advance clip of the Odyssey movie…

sorry, i can't come to your party after all. they just released a surprise new season of shadows flickering on the wall of plato's cave and i am *hooked*

BREAKING Partileiaren i Frp tar sterk avstand frå partiprogrammet til Frp

when you fell from heaven

(I make a "mouth" with the side of my hand and draw little eyes above it) Richard Dawkins: hmmmm (I put lipstick around the "mouth") Richard Dawkins, suavely: well hello

Is there any reason at all to conclude this? Was this routine? Is this practice attested elsewhere (and tied to Metroac cult)? Are these the author’s guesses at symbolic meaning, or is this discussed in any ancient texts? Pls help

Me: It’s Friday People on here: It’s Friday for me as well Me: We agree People: Yes for this whole day

YOU - “I approve of this, very futuristic.” (Tap on the girls kissing.)

The HSTS is limited by her identification with dianoëtic reality, thus maintaining a subject/object relationship in her desire. The AGP, however, recognises the illusory nature of relativity, being at once subject and object of her own desire — a natural mystic

jobber med et ganske bra take basert på Aasmund Brynildsens «Den kristne Eros». det vil bevise én gang for alle at jeg er den bedre platonikeren

I may as well reshare it myself 😇

SLIGHTLY YOUNGER TRANS WOMAN — "Is it AGP to say I would fuck my clone?" 1. - "I don't think you should worry about that typology stuff." 2. - [Esprit de Corps - Medium] "I would also fuck my clone." 3. - [Electrochemistry - Heroic] "I would also fuck your clone."

mystics will say kys and people will act like it’s deep

De snakker ikke ut fra ekspertise eller levd liv, de er ikke nøytrale, og de tar plassen i offentlighten og skyver vekk stemmene til de det faktisk gjelder.

Tenk å få betalt for å hver dag uttale seg skråsikkert om noe man ikke har filla peil på. Hvis Aglen tror at adhd kun er "uro og konsentrasjonsvansker", at det er lett å få adhd- eller autismediagnose, og gullkornet at det gir "økonomiske fordeler", så kan hun holde så jævlig kjeft.
