Dear everyone who posts videos of this latest generation having tantrums and being entitled, and everyone who comments and reblogs and goes, "See! We were never like that. The world is going to end and they'll be doing their skibidi cocomelon dances as it burns!"
Yesterday I was at work, and saw that some bottles of soda had fallen out of their bin and rolled halfway under the freezers. Being very tired, I decided to pick them up later. But as I watched, two kids, like, elementary school age, running around and exploring while their mother shopped, came over and casually picked up the bottles and put them back. They weren't prompted by anyone, and they didn't look at either me or their mother for any kind of acknowledgment or reward. They just saw that something needed to be put away, and decided that they might as well be the ones to do it.
#yes#there are cringe gen alpha moments#but everyone is cringe#they will learn#and not only that#but as we become the adults in their world#we have the privilege of teaching them#kindness and love will persist#solarpunk#kids these days#gen alpha

Jason, Tim, and Dick all get magically reverted to their robin selves and now Damian has to get them back to the cave to fix everything.
While they're all willing to follow Damian, (even if it's just to demand answers from Bruce on Dick and Jason's parts) only Tim is happy with the situation. ("I succeeded in being Robin and I get to hang out with both previous Robins and the new one? This is great!")
Dick thinks that his name was stolen 3 times. Jason thinks he was fired and kicked out like Dick was. Tim thinks he either died or found someone more fit to be Robin and support Bruce. Damian is just confused that his brothers seem to have done 180 of their opinions on him.
#dc prompt#jason todd#dick grayson#tim drake#damian wayne#dick was surprisingly the unhinged angry robin#damian goes from 1 brother smothers him in love 1 is indifferent and the other is perpetually suspicious of him#to 2 are perpetually upset with him 1 is trying to keep the peace#can you imagine how crushed itty-bitty just-started-being-robin tim is that both of his childhood idols disapprove of /him/#and not only that#his successor also dislikes him#the absolute heartbreak#i've actually never read a fic with this sort of premise where tim was the main focus

they just discovered an alphabet in the el turuñuelo tartessic site !!!!! this is huge !!!!!!
the tartessic culture is the oldest in the iberian peninsula, located in the southwestern corner of the peninsula and dated to around the 9th century BCE to the 5th/4th century BCE. in this map you can see in the brightest red the core of the culture, in darker red the dispersion to the north in later centuries, and in light red its cultural sphere, which spanned almost half of the peninsula.
if you are interested in the culture, i have a post about them.
el turuñuelo is an archaeological site located in guareña (guadajoz), in the northernmost point of the tartessos culture. it is with no doubt the singlemost important tartessic archaeological site, and i would even go on to say it is the biggest archaeological discovery of this century - at least in europe.
it was discovered in 2015, and it is a sanctuary or some sort of temple complex, which at first made the news because of its incredible state of preservation: a complete set of stairs and the remains of a horse hecatomb with at least 17 complete bodies were found in 2017.
it already was the most important tartessic archaeological site just because of that (there are very few tartessic sites and most of them are not very well preserved), but after the excavations halted during covid, these last few years they returned to the site and they have made amazing discoveries. the most well-known and televised one, that made it to the news and i got to see when they set up an exposition about them last summer, are the faces of el turuñuelo in 2023, the first ever representation of tartessians by tartessians. i made a post about them, if you are interested.
this year they not only found a large collection of tartessic ceramic - which lets us know that the temple was also an artisan and probably commercial center as well, as it was usual in ancient religious centers - but just a few days ago they discovered a slate plaque with human figures, that seem to be a sort of trial drawings made by some artisan
if they seem familiar, that's because it is in one of these plaques where the alphabet has been able to be traced down, being able to be confirmed only today (11/06/2024). this is only the third southwestern paleohispanic alphabet ever founded - an alphabet derived from the phoenician one - and the most recent. it is also distinct from the other two previously discovered ones, seeing some sort of dialectalism in the way this alphabet (or set of alphabets) worked. more importantly, it is the first one to note a tartessic language, which we know was not indoeuropean in nature and also distinct from the iberian languages of the mediterranean coast. this was a distinct language or languages.
this is very exciting not only because we have a tartessic alphabet, but also because we know from greek authors like strabo that tartessians were known to be scholars that had large libraries with all sorts of knowledge of the past. we also know that the greeks interacted with the tartessians. so. it is possible that, if el turuñuelo had one of these archives that strabo talked about, that more writting can be salvaged and not only that, we could find a bilingual text in tartessian and greek that could act as a rosetta stone to finally descipher tartessian, the oldest known language in the iberian peninsula.
i cannot wait to see what el turuñuelo brings us next, it's so very exciting !!!!!!!
#archaeology#tartessos#spain#turuñuelo#i'm so fucking excited man#el turuñuelo is the gift that keeps on living#and not only that#they started to excavate el turuñuelo because they did a survey beforehand and found a series of tumuli along the guareña valley#and fixated in el turuñuelo just cause#but there's more sites like el turuñuelo waiting to be excavated#IMAGINE WHAT WE'LL GET IN THE NEXT YEARS

#my teacher is gonna make us have an AI unit 😨😨#what the fuck even is an AI unit#this is ethnic studies#and every time i have to sit there and act like the other person has a point when they're all just saying the exact same thing#“oh but it's impressive” yeah that's cause it's copied off the uncredited works of actual writers you dumbass#“yeah but i just use it to write quick emails” that's so fucking embarrassing what do you mean you can't write a fucking email#“i only use it as a tool” a tool for what? generative AI is a sad inefficient excuse of a 'tool' just use google it's not that hard#it's actually quite sickening not even gonna lie#i'll be talking to people who are supposed to be good at their job#and fully grown adults who i expect to be at least moderately competent when it comes to writing and they're out here relying on chatgpt#and i'll see people using chatgpt as a source too#like what happened to citing our sources? what happened to using credible sites? chatgpt is not a source#this is like basic middle school level media literacy#and not only that#but what also disgusts me is that these people don't even seem to care that AI is awful for the planet#it doesn't matter if your ugly fucking art is draining a whole goddamn lake because it's “pretty” and “impressive”#fucking hell#give me a break#fuck generative ai#me and the homies hate ai#anti ai#mxpotatoposts#jesus christ these tags are like 10 times longer than my actual post lmao

i think that the most heartbreaking thing about log horizon for me personally is that it was SO good until it got real fucking weird about minori's crush on shiroe
is it normal for a middle school girl to have a crush on a much older guy who she looks up to and who treats her nicely? yeah, of course, and there's nothing wrong with portraying that either
where it gets really fucking squicky is when the narrative starts treating her as an actual (romantic) threat to the main love interest, who is ten years older than her. and did i mention the guy she has a crush on is also ten years older than her. and the main love interest gets jealous when the main character pays attention to this literal child
edit: also did i mention the main love interest also looks the same age as the middle schooler
#anyways ignore me#log horizon was so groundbreaking to me specifically because it did so many novel things#irt its isekai premise which other isekais tend to ignore#like it was so fucking cool that they made it that people who died just respawned because that turns it into a different kind of horror#than 'dying in the game means dying in real life'#because now you have no way of escaping this situation you're in#it's a prison#you die and you die and you die and you just keep coming back to life#and not only that#you start losing your memories of your real life#how horrific is that?

Hey guys, if you’re following this person
I’d like to warn you that 6roe, or Roro is very problematic… and really mentally unstable so I’m just warning you guys and why?
She RECENTLY drew a fanart for LITERAL SCHOOL SH00TERS,
And as well, traced/got inspired by one of my artwork
I’m not saying that it’s bad to get inspired by someone, but she didn’t really source the link or even gave credits to me.
Sorry for the goofy fucking mess 🤐🤐🤐 but seriously tho, not only she drew that, she sexualized my persona 😭 there’s ALOT MORE. But I’ll explain them later
#6roe#call out post#don’t harass them#it’s only going to get worse#and not only that#this is just a warning for this person’s behavior#be safe!

I should not have finished part 2 of bridgerton season 3. just as I feared. 🥲
I honestly feel like so much was missing? there were so many points that confused me because I felt like scenes were probably removed when they shouldn't have been
miss penelope you will always be famous
#you're telling me alllllll that amazing pr for this season#and the couple was given way less screen time than all the other plot lines#and not only that#but that they were in a horribly rough spot for almost the entire second half until the end#my heart hurts#they deserved more time to explore all of the emotions#nicola and luke are so gorgeous together and share such a wonderful bond and love for each other#they deserved way better writing#but 🥲🥲🥲 my heart was so beaten up#the whole wedding night thing absolutely killed me. that was horrible#pen was always so invisible and outcast for so long and not even on her wedding night could she feel seen#obviously she did wrong but :( why couldn't it have been resolved before the wedding#that was heartbreaking#and obviously colin was SO hurt and he deserved to feel that way but oh my gosh!!!! his words were so harsh#throwing the entrapment line back at Pen genuinely almost made me throw up

I know I said before that Nakamura’s manga version seems to follow novel canon pretty closely, but I take it back now that I’m looking in more detail at the section that Arakawa’s version has just covered!
Two children versus a man with a death wish 😧
Yes, that is Alfarid and Elam, inside Ecbatana after Hilmes has taken it and holding Sam at swordpoint
#arslan senki#the heroic legend of arslan#chisato nakamura#sam#elam#alfarid#honestly this is so wild#it's blowing my mind#and not only that#there's been some extra hilmes/irina content too?

where did all these “color analysis theorists” doing reels come from and why didn’t they watch the reputation stadium tour film? bc all they love to say is how taylor looks bad in black and i’m just like… what.
#literally… what#and not only that#they’re mostly rude to everybody all the time#and what if people just want to wear whatever they want????#what if people are not a children’s tv show character who need a specific wardrobe and palette????#what if?????
