We really don't discuss enough how much of human culture prior to the 18th century is about hating farming

people don’t talk enough about how hard packing is when you have a bunch of small, magical items. lots of important sticks, sentimental pinecones…

doing whatever the opposite of “rawdogging a flight” is (paying for wifi, watching a movie, xbox controller connected to my laptop, sipping on an iced coffee i bought in the airport, pulling a new snack out of my backpack every half hour like it’s some kind of piñata)

This is insane. A full audio reading of the Iliad and the first 7 books of the Odyssey in meter, with poetic diacritics and a rocking drum beat. Check all the boxes at the top and then click on the 1st line. #ancientgreek

Dear Tourists to Greece: It is very hot. It is hotter than you think it is. Do not take hikes in the middle of the day. Do not hike by yourself. Wear a hat. Bring water. (4 people have died and one is missing so far and it is only June.)

This map shows the distribution of ancient cuneiform inscriptions. Both of the red dots that are in northern Romania and southern Egypt are inscribed with the exact same sentence. Guess it.
