i want to share with you some of my favourite graffiti from Pompeii
“Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!“
“Amplicatus, I know that Icarus is buggering you. Salvius wrote this.“
“We two dear men, friends forever, were here. If you want to know our names, they are Gaius and Aulus.“
“Floronius, privileged soldier of the 7th legion, was here. The women did not know of his presence. Only six women came to know, too few for such a stallion.“
“On April 19th, I made bread.“
“ I have buggered men.“
“If anyone does not believe in Venus, they should gaze at my girlfriend.“
“It took 640 paces to walk back and forth between here and there ten times.“
“Chie, I hope your hemorrhoids rub together so much that they hurt worse than when they every have before!“
“Epaphra is not good at ball games.”
“Two friends were here. While they were, they had bad service in every way from a guy named Epaphroditus. They threw him out and spent 105 and half sestertii most agreeably on whores.“
“Secundus likes to screw boys.“
Fourth in a series I of comics about protesting safety tips I made with @this.is.ysabel . This one is about the dangers of police surveillance and how to avoid it if possible. Keep being safe when you go out. Don’t get snatched!

Use dishwashing gloves. Get yourself a pair of nice ones that are made of thick latex and soft on the inside if you can. This will minimize the bad sensory experience of touching gross wet food, and you’ll be able to use the hottest water possible, which makes cleaning easier.
If you are sensitive to smells, use unscented dish soap, or a dish soap that has a smell you like.
Instead of filling up the entire sink with water, only fill up individual dishes with water. For example, fill up a mug with hot water, and put the cutlery inside to soak. Fill up bowls with hot water and stack them on top of each other. You get the benefits of soaking without the incredible inconvenience of turning your kitchen sink into a filthy pond of gross, stagnant water.
Get yourself a sponge with a handle on it, one of those that come with a reservoir for soap. Fill it up with dish soap and keep it in your bathtub or shower. That way, whenever you’re showering, you can use that opportunity to give your bathtub or shower a quick scrub.
Set your timer for 20 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes, whatever you can handle. Then do the thing (you know, that thing you don’t feel like doing) for the duration of this self-alloted time. And once the time has passed, you reward yourself, because you fucking deserve it. Example rewards: watching an episode of your favourite TV show, reading a good novel, etc. It helps to also set a timer for the reward. I often alternate 20 minutes of watching an episode of a TV show, with 20 minutes of doing a chore. This is an adaptation of the 20/10 idea from Unfuck Your Habitat.
If you can’t handle taking out the garbage until later (for whatever reason), double-bag it so that it doesn’t stink up your apartment and leak garbage juice. Yeah yeah, it’s wasteful, you’re using two garbage bags…look, who cares. Better to use twice as many garbage bags than live in an apartment that smells like garbage.
Use an app that gamifies your to-do list, such as Habitica (I might make a separate post with app recommendations).
so this is one of my favorite photos ever from doctor who - it seems normal, but the slight blurriness, weird lighting, expressions, and stances make it seem very candid, like someone was snapping photos and they turned to look... it also has a wonderful and atmospheric "old film" quality.
the coloration? on point. the clothing textures? palpable. the dark/light contrast? excellent. they're literally glowing. i wish doctor who was still filmed on older cameras, it's so soft.
suggestions for gender neutral version of mom/dad? something less formal than just ‘parent’
…i may have put way too much time into this
this might be a hard pill to swallow for college students but getting drunk all the time isnt a personality trait it’s alcoholism
