I Can't Believe I Still Use Tumblr In 2023 I Feel Like An Old Guy Who Stubbornly Refuses To Get A Mobile

my favorite classmate from my hist. 262 class is a veteran who has come back to school for like computer programming and he was stationed in japan and he shops at the local asian market and sometimes he brings seaweed krisps adn he will give me the whole bag

[i.d. text at top that says "when your classmate brings the good seaweed as a snack". it is elmo with his hands up in the air and a fire burning behind him}

Things two hungarian poets from the 1840s said to each other in their letters that make me crazy:

If my soul touches you and it happens to burn you I'm not to blame... it was you who lit it on fire

I swear to you on cottage cheese and tobacco

If the people rule in poetry, so will they rule in politics and that's the goal of the century! To hell with the aristocracy!

My dear buddy,

My soul, my bastard,

My golden mouthed saintly friend,

My rowdy brother,

My lovable dummy,

If you want to see a dead Pegasus, look no further than me

I am trying to learn to smile nicely ( he did not succeed)

My dear friend, you better side of my soul

I will never forgive you for NOT writing the address on the envelope yourself. A woman's handwriting... and a black seal... dear god, the devil took him! he worked himself to death writing poems, he died! ... and then i opened your letter... Never do this again. Only use black seal vax on your death, and even then, still write the address yourself!

I'm reading (your work) for the sixth time. It's really a horrible thing. I'll need to read it again to understand just how awful it is!

Sincerely, your friend whose balls are itching

It's really good that your sore throat is gone, I can finally strangle you

Leave the dedication! Veselényi is a great man but he's still a Lord, and a poet should never dedicate ANYTHING to a Lord

I'm hugging you a 1000000000000 times!

so, today we, russian queers, may become "extremists" by decision of russian supreme court and thus our existence will be silenced and erased. any queer activism will be impossible for us. I don't know what to do anymore. I was heartbroken when they passed the laws about "gay propaganda" and transgender people, now I'm just numb. I don't want to escape. I just want to live safely in my own country.

please hear us.

Couldn’t get over “the ancient Egyptian site of Philadelphia” so I looked up the origin of the name of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to see if it was developed independently or named after that Ptolemic Egyptian city, because “the city of brotherly love” didn’t seems like a particularly Egyptian or Ptolemaic value but who knows

Anyway it was a secret third thing: Philadelphia PA was named after a Hellenic Turkish city.

The Turkish city of Philadelphia was named after the king Attalus II Philadelphus, who according to ancient historians earned the title Philadelphus “he who loves his brother” because of his loyalty to his older brother the king during his reign. Attalus II was the army commander under his brother’s reign and he rejected his army’s proposal to stage a coup and make him king, and when his brother was reported dead in foreign battle, Attalus II married his brother’s widow Stratonice and ascended to the throne—and when it turned out his brother was alive, Attalus divorced Stratonice and ceded the throne to his brother again without a challenge.

For his loyalty he earned the title Philadelphus which he carried on after his brother died and he became king.

Philadelphia in Egypt was named after a completely different guy, pharaoh Ptolemy II Philadelphus, and, well,

The Relation Between Fanfiction and The Queer/LGBTQ+ Community

I am writing a research paper for my women gender studies class at the University of Tennessee. I am not getting funding for it. It is solel

I am writing a research paper for a Women Gender Studies class at the University of Tennessee. I am writing on the relationship between the LGBTQ+ community and fanfiction. If you read fanfiction at all please take this quiz. I understand that because there is queer and lgbtq in the title there will be sample bias but I do not plan on comparing between non-queer and queer readers.

pov: my mom

this was original plan after I broke my leg into three pieces, but the person I was texting yelled at me until I went to the hospital

And under beating skies and gleaming hearts

Do we find ourselves torn apart

Gazing into sundered souls

Greaf reaps us at the bell's tolls

A rapture of desire and hate

Born of an apple once ate

A rib torn from its cage

And stabbed into ones heart with rage

I find that though you have hurt me

I still dream of your decree

The one you spoke before we loved

The one you handed to me gloved
