“[Chris Hemsworth] is a big boy, and it’s all real. There’s no CGI. He eats that much chicken, he lifts all that weight, he kick-boxes, he’s a Muay Thai champion. I mean, to the point where Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner and Robert Downey Jr were reduced to just standing around and touching him.”

IT’S HILARIOUS HOW WE TAKE SHIT SERIOUSLY JUST BECAUSE IT’S WRITTEN IN LATIN OR GREEK WHEN CATULLUS WAS BASICALLY THE TAYLOR SWIFT OF HIS TIME AND VERGIL WAS JUST SOME DUDE WHO WROTE AN EPIC LONGFIC OF THE ODYSSEY WITH A SELF-INSERT PROTAGONIST AND PLATO WAS LIKE… THAT ANNOYING DUDE RANTING ON THE SUBWAY PLATFORM

I’M NOT SAYING WE SHOULD RESPECT THE ANCIENTS LESS, I’M SAYING WE SHOULD RESPECT THE MODERNS MORE

What we have left of Sulpicia reads like a 12 year old girl’s live journal account.

I love Latin. But a lot of it is just silly.

freemasonic-yowl:

Superman was created by two Jewish kids of Eastern European descent in the ’30s. Do you understand why Krypton had to be destroyed, do you understand what an illegal immigrant God-man who turns into the ultimate American and whose mortal enemy is a nativist industrialist and who protects and (arguably) betters his adopted home would have meant to two Jewish kids of Eastern European descent?

people totally lose sight of the fact that superman was written at a time when european-american immigrants were not part of the white hegemony. the superman narrative only makes sense in 2013 if he’s latino or middle eastern but nobody’s going to do that

“When I was a student at Cambridge I remember an anthropology professor holding up a picture of a bone with 28 incisions carved in it. “This is often considered to be man’s first attempt at a calendar,” she explained. She paused as we dutifully wrote this down. “My question to you is this – what man needs to mark 28 days? I would suggest to you that this is woman’s first attempt at a calendar.”
It was a moment that changed my life. In that second I stopped to question almost everything I had been taught about the past. How often had I overlooked women’s contributions? How often had I sped past them as I learned of male achievement and men’s place in the history books? Then I read Rosalind Miles’s book “The Women’s History of the World” (recently republished as “Who Cooked the Last Supper?”) and I knew I needed to look again. History is full of fabulous females who have been systematically ignored, forgotten or simply written out of the records. They’re not all saints, they’re not all geniuses, but they do deserve remembering.”

“Explicit secunda pars summe fratris thome de aquino ordinis fratrum predicatorum, longissima, prolixissima, et tediosissima scribenti: Deo gratias, Deo gratias, et iterum Deo gratias.”

- Scribal colophon at the end of a (handwritten) fourteenth century manuscript. The translation: “Here ends the second part of the Summa of brother Thomas Aquinas of the Order of Preaching Friars, the longest, wordiest, and most tedious thing ever written: thank God, thank God, and again thank God.” (via magnicifent)

sassy manuscript writers are my favorite manuscript writers
