Woke up in the kind of good mood that had me looking in the mirror at my chest wrinkles and stretch marks and realizing they're rather pretty! The pattern is like river water flowing downstream. Now I'm going to take this cheerfulness and get in a walk before it hits 95 degrees out. Good morning!! 🌞

Got an extremely lowball offer on a very reasonably priced jacket in my shop and said no. Guy came back trying to negotiate. His account name sounded familiar so I looked it up and he owns or represents a luxury fashion line where the cheapest ready to wear item is a $660 t-shirt

Listing for a black t-shirt that looks reasonably cool but certainly is not worth the $660 they're charging

Woke up this morning unenthused about life and thought 'if I check my phone and I have an AO3 comment in my inbox I'll get up and work on this original gay romcom idea' then was like 'ugh I won't have shit' but then I had THIS??! Letting it inflate my ego to an insane degree thanks time to write!!!

ao3 comment on my old fic Reacharound that reads: this is one of the best ryden fics i’ve ever read and it’s from almost 20 years ago. you basically invented all the modern wentzross/ryden tropes how incredible 😭😭 so so good so much love

Obsessed with this Achilles and Patrocles pic Wikipedia uses as the main image for the Trojan War portal. Patrocles just FULLY dick and balls out. Flaunting bush. Achilles wrapping his wounded arm for him but he is NOT keeping his eyes on the bandaging situation. Insane choice

Main image from the Trojan War Wikipedia page, their description: "Achilles tending Patroclus wounded by an arrow, identified by inscriptions on the upper part of the vase. Tondo of an Attic red-figure kylix, ca. 500 BC."

Really into the scene in Book 19 of The Iliad where the Greeks are getting all fired up about going into battle alongside Achilles but Odysseus is like "Whoa whoa whoa wait pause. I am SO fucking hungry oh my god, are you guys hungry? Is anyone else like, dying to have dinner right now 🍽"

From Emily Wilson's translation of The Iliad:

But sensible Odysseus spoke up.
“Godlike Achilles, you are very strong,
but do not urge the Greeks to fight the Trojans

or make them march to Troy without a meal.
The battle certainly will not be short
after the armies meet and once the god
inspires both sides with eagerness to fight.

Tell them to sit beside the ships and taste
some food and wine, the source of strength and courage.
No man can fight all through the day till sunset
fasting. He may be eager in his heart
to fight, but gradually his limbs grow heavy,
and as he moves, his body starts to hurt,
and thirst and hunger overpower him.
Someone who has his fill of food and wine
can fight all day against the enemy.

Update: Lysis is also a banger. This kid Hippothales asks Socrates to come hang out with him and his friends and Socrates is like "who's the hottest" of course, and Hippothales dithers so Socrates is all "omg you have a CRUSH" and Hippothales' friends are like "he does and it's SO annoying" lmaooo

Are you disposed, he said, to go with me and see them?

Yes, I said; but I should like to know first, what is expected of me, and who is the favourite among you?

Some persons have one favourite, Socrates, and some another, he said.

And who is yours? I asked: tell me that, Hippothales.

At this he blushed; and I said to him, O Hippothales, thou son of Hieronymus! do not say that you are, or that you are not, in love; the confession is too late; for I see that you are not only in love, but are already far gone in your love. Simple and foolish as I am, the Gods have given me the power of understanding affections of this kind.

Whereupon he blushed more and more.

Ctesippus said: I like to see you blushing, Hippothales, and hesitating to tell Socrates the name; when, if he were with you but for a very short time, you would have plagued him to death by talking about nothing else. Indeed, Socrates, he has literally deafened us, and stopped our ears with the praises of Lysis; and if he is a little intoxicated, there is every likelihood that we may have our sleep murdered with a cry of Lysis. His performances in prose are bad enough, but nothing at all in comparison with his verse; and when he drenches us with his poems and other compositions, it is really too bad; and worse still is his manner of singing them to his love; he has a voice which is truly appalling, and we cannot help hearing him: and now having a question put to him by you, behold he is blushing.

Ah, Hippothales, I said; what a noble and really perfect love you have found! I wish that you would favour me with the exhibition which you have been making to the rest of the company, and then I shall be able to judge whether you know what a lover ought to say about his love, either to the youth himself, or to others.

Nay, Socrates, he said; you surely do not attach any importance to what he is saying.

Do you mean, I said, that you disown the love of the person whom he says that you love?

No; but I deny that I make verses or address compositions to him.

He is not in his right mind, said Ctesippus; he is talking nonsense, and is stark mad.

O Hippothales, I said, if you have ever made any verses or songs in honour of your favourite, I do not want to hear them; but I want to know the purport of them, that I may be able to judge of your mode of approaching your fair one.

Ctesippus will be able to tell you, he said; for if, as he avers, the sound of my words is always dinning in his ears, he must have a very accurate knowledge and recollection of them.

That was from Charmides if you'd also like to see or revisit what happens when Socrates walks up in the club like "where the hot twinks at though?" Whole thing is GREAT so far, really makes it clear that Socrates was the most annoying bitch in all of Athens. He's so funny though I love him

sara cyclogenesis @dustdevils.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

It's a series of audio performances of Plato's Socratic Dialogues. And this is from a dialogue on TEMPERANCE!!!! Keep it in your toga Socrates damn

Then, when there had been enough of this, I, in my turn, began to make enquiries about matters at home⁠—about the present state of philosophy, and about the youth. I asked whether any of them were remarkable for wisdom or beauty, or both. Critias, glancing at the door, invited my attention to some youths who were coming in, and talking noisily to one another, followed by a crowd. Of the beauties, Socrates, he said, I fancy that you will soon be able to form a judgment. For those who are just entering are the advanced guard of the great beauty, as he is thought to be, of the day, and he is likely to be not far off himself.

Who is he, I said; and who is his father?

Charmides, he replied, is his name; he is my cousin, and the son of my uncle Glaucon: I rather think that you know him too, although he was not grown up at the time of your departure.

Certainly, I know him, I said, for he was remarkable even then when he was still a child, and I should imagine that by this time he must be almost a young man.

You will see, he said, in a moment what progress he has made and what he is like. He had scarcely said the word, when Charmides entered.

Now you know, my friend, that I cannot measure anything, and of the beautiful, I am simply such a measure as a white line is of chalk; for almost all young persons appear to be beautiful in my eyes. But at that moment, when I saw him coming in, I confess that I was quite astonished at his beauty and stature; all the world seemed to be enamoured of him; amazement and confusion reigned when he entered; and a troop of lovers followed him. That grown-up men like ourselves should have been affected in this way was not surprising, but I observed that there was the same feeling among the boys; all of them, down to the very least child, turned and looked at him, as if he had been a statue.

Chaerephon called me and said: What do you think of him, Socrates? Has he not a beautiful face?

Most beautiful, I said.

But you would think nothing of his face, he replied, if you could see his naked form: he is absolutely perfect.

And to this they all agreed.

By Heracles, I said, there never was such a paragon, if he has only one other slight addition.

What is that? said Critias.

If he has a noble soul; and being of your house, Critias, he may be expected to have this.

He is as fair and good within, as he is without, replied Critias.

Then, before we see his body, should we not ask him to show us his soul, naked and undisguised? he is just of an age at which he will like to talk.
