This is an evergreen tweet, but there's more to it than meets the eye. Follow along as I do half-assed Internet searches to explore its history. Along the way we'll meet a celebrity con artist, a union-busting trade organization, & 19th Century Inception! https://t.co/7zVr5sKjJD
Um, hey @britishmuseum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit "China's hidden century" uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator

HYPNOS: That's the joke! I guess? Dusa tried to explain it.
DUSA: Look at all the dust on the ceiling! *flies into the rafters*
MEG: Two furies?
HYPNOS: I heard it from Achilles.
