The orthodox Marxist position is that we can't imagine what life will be like after The Revolution™️ but rip to them because I can and it's the British daytime tv programme DIY SOS: The Big Build. I cannot stress enough that I am not joking about this.

@maximumgraves Does she wear it because it's a budget-friendly dupe of Baccarat Rouge 540, or because she smelled it in a department store and liked it?

what type of perfume does audrey wear :) — ariana grande's cloud @maximumgraves/a/114073840160612663" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">retrospring.net/@maximumgraves…

@fardibekt And is, may we never cease to remember, strongly implied to be one half of Daft Punk.

@fardibekt Let's not forget that it's also IWTV TV universe because in that universe Samuel Beckett is a vampire who is, in 2025, still alive and working as a DJ.

@uncanny_eli There's exactly one of these guys and it's Joss Whedon.

writing about sex work atm and increasingly convinced that the ‘sex work is sooo empowering’ Liberal who every anti-sw person defines themselves against does not meaningfully exist.

@minimumgraves a little old bald trans guy who's confused about a lot of things. I can see that being a Type.

@fardibekt *Homeric Greek (Attic is a different dialect, the one that was used in Classical Athens)

@ragesinggoddess yeah I think a lot of people who've never read Homer assume that since it's Old it must be really ponderous and ornate, rather than austere and punchy

@uncanny_eli Stanley Lombardo til I die. Nobody else gets the pared-back, stark poetry of Homer; I think it's because Lombardo's is written for performance.

fagles is a magician i love his oresteia but i don’t really buy anyone being snobbish about the emily wilson odyssey translation when my wife, a classics lecturer and deft translator of ancient greek, loves the wilson and uses it in her undergraduate classes

needed this 💙 it’s a relief to know there’s still time to impregnate my landlord

Correct🎄

@uncanny_eli Vinted really helped me with that - it still takes work to filter out the sea of khaki cargo trousers but it's much more possible to find the non-boring stuff, as well as to find unusual sizes etc.

‘menswear isn’t boring you just can’t dress’ ok gok wan i get your point but every time i go into a thrift shop the ‘men’s’ section is 1700 football shirts and a rack of fleeces

@fardibekt (to be clear this is bc I know your aromatase is crazy active so it would make sense to me to inhibit it a bit but also there's a genuine indication for it in your [gestures] other medical shit)

@fardibekt pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15123030/ another case report

@fardibekt what I love most about this show is how much it's about all the different types of awful queer people there are in the world

@fardibekt I think it's also cool that aniline dyes were also crucial in microscopy bc of their usefulness as stains, so the same tech that gave everyone mildly hideous dresses also allowed distinguishing different kinds of bacteria

@fardibekt Mauveine is why I think that the genderqueer flag sharing colours with the suffragette flag is perfect actually. The original flag symbolises the idea of technological development giving rise to the 'new woman' & the genderqueer flag posits fancy genders as historically analogous

@fardibekt raya now that you're unemployed and have a laptop that works we need to watch the 1980s magic mountain miniseries where hans castorp and settembrini are basically dating

Sometimes I see a medical image so striking I have to call Briar over so that they can look at the things a human body can do, which it would seem include some real IRL Uzumaki shenanigans.

@fardibekt smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/the… here's an article I found about it. I think it's one of those theories that appeal to people who are into both Black liberation and the monarchy, ie very confused people.
