I’m starting to wonder if that “don’t pay attention to negative thoughts after 9pm (or after it gets dark)” thingy can apply to physical health as well because my current unspecified end-of-winter illness has been a LOT worse since the sun went down

So today we went to the museum that used to be the migrant/refugee camp my mothers family stayed in when they arrived in Aus. And like the sheer breadth of human emotion carried in this place was shocking. Australian govt pledges to accept 20 million people (lol) but being british at heart, and knowing "australians are unaccostomed to people who live differently to them" the immigration minister says we will take able bodied light skinned people. Especially single men.

These people, latvian engineers, yugoslavian doctors, ukrainian shop keepers, italian accountants, have lost their homes, and want to be any place that is away from the war, arrive in rural Australia. Where they are kept in uninsulated tin sheds on army barracks, with armed soldiers. Where orders are given in German!! Because that is what they were 'used to' :) where families are seperated and where they have no money and they are promised jobs but that engineer is now a sugar cane farmer, or a sheep sheerer, or a railway worker, and only if she can learn to speak english well.

The camp we went to today saw about 65000 refugees pass through, but right near the end there were more british settlers, who paid 10 pounds for the privilege to sail across to aus and have not a tin shed with 10 to a room, but insulated single family cabins, with flooring and curtains, where they would stay for 1 month tops.

Anway its most infamous for its food

Stefano, so true bestie!

for some reason literally no one talks about this but. drugs will destroy ur gums and teeth and change ur facial structure and unless you have tonnes of money you will probably never be able to fix it. and i think if some people knew that they wouldn’t touch them in the first place so i’m telling you now

I'm finding this cultural pattern in the ancient and medieval middle east and into eastern europe where defeated enemies, especially ones with potential links to power (deposed kings, competing family members) are blinded by rivals. Like it happened to Hormizd IV, it happened to Arsaces of Armenia and his father Tigranes, and a number of earlier kings among the Parthians, Sasanians, Seleucids, Achaemenids, etc. I'm not going to dig through my readings to look up. I also remember a Georgian poet who was related to the royal family (I thought this was Shota Rustaveli and Queen Tamar, but nothing I search brings it up) who was possibly blinded to prevent him taking the throne (this would be as late as the 1100s). Interestingly these blindings aren't just done on anyone who pisses of the people in charge, either-- I'm only seeing it in situations where someone is being deposed, or prevented from inheriting by another power-- implying some sort of connection between candidacy for kingship and the possession/loss of eyes. It's fascinating, none of the sources I'm reading are making any comment about it, and I desperately need more information!!
