After living in Washington State for 30 years, today I finally did the Puyallup.

Apparently growing up in the D.C. suburbs to parents from Massachusetts and Louisiana, followed by 4 years in western Massachusetts and 30 in Seattle makes me sound like...a Mainer.

Map from the MyDialect app. The red denoting speech that sounds most like me is heaviest in Maine, with fainter red around New England and San Francisco. The blue--speech that sounds least like me--is darkest in Texas, Oklahoma, and the deep South.

Loving this thread; it's been just long enough since I read the poem that I've forgotten quite a few details. As a theme, this would have made for a more entertaining movie, by my lights.

I think the proper way to do The Odyssey is as a TV series where you keep everything in. Drop episodes once a week like the broadcast network days so that people can argue about characterization inconsistencies and plot holes.

Who are they to say What the truth is anyway? 'Cause the ones who tell the lies Are the solemnest to swear And the ones who load the dice Always say the toss is fair And the ones who deal the cards Are the ones who take the tricks With their hands over their hearts While we play the game they fix

I have been rereading Pride and Prejudice to follow along with the amazing @trungles.com thread and my favorite thing about the Elizabeth/Darcy romance is that it’s not a case of “I can fix him” but more “if he’s worth it, he’ll fix himself”

Though I don’t think it’s currently running as an interactive class, the online course HeroesX helped me understand what Aliette is talking about here—not just through Homer but other stories, myths, and poems. The course content is freely available online: continuum.fas.harvard.edu/heroesx/

of the dodgy odyssey takes, 'odysseus is meant to be a stoic badass unaffected by war' probably winds me up the most. in the text the king of the phaeacians correctly guesses odysseus is a veteran of the trojan war because he keeps bursting into tears whenever anyone mentions it

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

So I’ve started Pride and Prejudice, and already I feel bad for Mrs Bennet.

We didn't have any collections, but we did have a WaPo subscription which ran Doonesbury (in the editorial section, if memory serves). There was a lot I didn't get, but it did set me up to recognize Ramtha's School of Enlightenment when I randomly drove past it about 15 years later. IOW: fair cop.

We too have definitely done many crimes, and she will let us know as soon as she decides what they are

if you are a trans reader of mine and you struggle to explain to cis family and friends why you hurt so much lately I wrote this so you can send it to them. I feel like we know this pain intimately but I want everyone to understand it, because we are going to need help if it’s ever going to stop.

Images of the Kalahari Desert online are often of the vast areas of bare red sand, but the part that I’ve visited twice now is a semiarid savanna with grass, brush, and even trees. For this visit, at the tail end of the rainy season, the Nyae Nyae was green and almost lush, with water in the pans.

A dirt road of pale reddish sand, rapidly narrowing from the viewer's perspective as it descends into a flat, open area and vanishes in the distance. To either side, the green of grass, brush, and low-growing trees. The sky above is blue with puffy individual clouds.

The last time I went to #Etosha, we saw one #elephant. Which was awesome and a little unnerving–that proximity to a being that can flatten your car tends to be–but a whole herd of elephants is something else again.
