Catullus really was dealing with fandom antis 2000 years ago and we are still dealing with them now and they still do suck in exactly this way

Are we going to talk about the fact that the translator turned it into a shape poem. Of a penis.
Fandom antis of the ages.
@thebibliosphere look what I spotted on YouTube Shorts today...
the cowards. They never ever do the vampire nipple post.
@thebibliosphere you should create a throwaway TikTok just to steal that post from yourself. Forcibly introduce it to the ecosystem.
I’d make bank from the creator payout system then get immediately banned lmao
media literacy would automatically go up 100% if people knew how to consume stories without self-inserting themselves into the characters' shoes. "if i were him..." you're NOT. you may relate to his story, his past, his traits, his quirks, his identity but the moment you start treating the story accepting what you feel/think as what the character feels/thinks, you're misunderstanding the story.
Windows 11's latest update is resulting in SSD failures if it reaches 60% capacity. The update wipes the drive and unmounts it.
If you are on Windows 11, please don't update. If you have already updated, please look up how to roll back your update
I’m not gonna say I was looking for something else entirely because I was in fact trying to find a gif of Chris Evans when I came across this, but this is not what I was looking for. And yet it is possibly the best thing I’ve ever found.
What the hell even is Chris Evans. What the hell.
Pumpkin Spice Evans
Reblog Pumpkin Spice Evans for a bountiful harvest and a large glass of ginger ale
It is time. Time for Pumpkin Spice Evans.
Let us renew the traditional debate over whether he’s drinking apple juice or ginger ale even though JUST BECAUSE HE’S POSSIBLY DRINKING APPLE JUICE DOESN’T MEAN YOU CAN’T REBLOG FOR A LARGE GLASS OF DELICIOUS FUCKING GINGER ALE
Let us gently refrain, this year, from plaguing @ginger-ale-official with tags, for lo, they have suffered enough
Let us all reblog for a bountiful harvest and a large glass of ginger ale.
Once more let us reblog Pumpkin Spice Chris Evans for a bountiful harvest and holy shit
Bet y’all didn’t think Chris Evans could glow up any further from where he was but he sure as fuck did
THE TIME OF PUMPKIN SPICE EVANS APPROACHES
"Stop being funnier than me on my own post" is one of my favorite healthy tumblrisms, along with things like "hang on lemme look that up...yeah this is funny" and explicit tone indicators (positive). Like yeah let's build a world where we playfully format healthy interactions. You made a post and you wanted to be the star but damn, you've really gotta hand it to this other person for their really funny addition, so here's the internet equivalent of giving someone a friendly punch on the shoulder while making sure they know they got a good grade in social interaction
Yelena: What exactly is our plan?
Walker: Save everyone and get home safely.
Yelena: That's not a plan, that's a wishlist.
I humbly suggest that true crime freaks should get into learning about scammers instead of serial killers. I LOVE reading about fraud and grifts and pyramid schemes. true crime ppl have all this paranoid energy about murder, which is rare in the grand scheme of things.....maybe instead that could be channeled into some productive rage toward capitalism.
And u know a side effect of learning about scam artists is that you start to understand certain things about economics, and just how STUPID these systems are and how easily they are taken advantage of....and I'd much rather people gained a passing familiarity with economics than whatever armchair psychologist shit these true crimers get on. We need fewer people who think they're experts on "sociopaths" and more people who understand how people like Elizabeth Holmes and the WeWork guy were able to do what they did
Here are some of my favorite books about financial scams:
The Wizard of Lies: Bernie Madoff and the Death of Trust by Diana B. Henriques.
The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine by Michael Lewis (about the 2008 stock market collapse).
The Caesar's Palace Coup: How a Billionaire Brawl Over the Famous Casino Exposed the Corruption of the Private Equity Industry by Max Frumes and Sujeet Indap. (I admit I've never finished this one; the writing is hard to read.)
The Great Beanie Baby Bubble: Mass Delusion and the Dark Side of Cute, by Zac Bissonette. I bought this book because of the subtitle and I have never regretted it. You must read it.
Catch Me If You Can by Frank Abagnale. They turned this one into a movie! The book was very different and is worth reading.
The Cult of We: WeWork, Adam Neumann, and the Great Startup Delusion, by Elliot Brown and Maureen Farrell. I haven't read this one yet, but it's on my tbr pile!
Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, and Right-Wing Conspiracy Inside the Catholic Church, by Gareth Gore. I'm reading this one right now. The author is a financial journalist who stumbled onto this story by unraveling a bank failure in Spain.
And here's a list of more non-fiction books about fraud and financial scams. The first book on this list is about Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes, which I also haven't read yet.
Enjoy!
it must be said the ancient greeks got a little funny with it
Parry this, you filthy Macedonian.
