The Problem with Greek Myth Retellings (www.youtube.com)
 

Insanely well done video essay on "modern" retellings and the subgenera of feminist retellings of Greek myths. Really respectful towards these modern writers, but she gives a fantastic classicist perspective and explores how often Anglo culture uses Greek myths and history as a plaything.

Really beautifully done and a good examination of HOW we approach mythology and how oversimplifications can erase the actual depth of stories.

In honor of the martyrs of Bloody Sunday (www.youtube.com)
 

Bit of a content warning, the intro to this video has the recording of the sound of each bullet firing and matches them up to a photo of each martyr. It is not gruesome, but it is tearjerking though I feel very important for visualizing these men and boys.

Literally just conversations are "disinformation" fuck liberals dude. This shit makes me want to see them get their ivory towers destroyed and all their self-delusions come tumbling down. Dead kids in Donbas are not a rhetorical trick you sick fucking bastards. Human lives are just games for them. How do they not see how dystopian this shit is? How completely 1984 this looks to use their parlance

every time I read one of these fediverse users confidently overriding the validity and sincerity of the marginalized users on here, my heart grows three times more jokerfied in c/[email protected]

I thought they did split in Fallout. The USSR is on friendlier relations with the US by the time the nukes drop

By linking the two and spreading outfight fascist "double genocide" shit they are going to make it so opposition to double genocide, any attempt to criticize Finland for its active role in the Holocaust and Lebensraum is "holocaust denial"

Also how do we not have a "Finland_Cool" emote?
