#to class notes

commonplace journal, 06.08 FRI

big ole yapping session after the break

‼️‼️ YAPPING ‼️‼️

normally i wouldn’t post big sections of this journal, because usually it doesnt have so much content. however today i needed quick notes in class, and i am a slow, SLOW, typer. (learning to touch-type and type quickly never really stuck with me…)

Anyways!! today was really good content-wise, though i did have to leave early because my computer was about to go flat. the unfortunate circumstances of forgetting my charger. However, i do want to talk about what i did cover, becasue it was interesting!

today’s tut covered greek colonisation, which was the expansion of greece. though from lecture; as it does differ from imperial colonialism, it is not innocent (this pertains to how some colonies were founded and maintained through violence)

activity #1: independent reading task (with class discussion)

prophetic colonisation - through the oracle of delphi and declartion of apollo, there was reason to form colonies. though, there was also overpopulation and war to account for in colonisation. a specific war that was made mention of in the reading was a war between Chakis and Eretria (and how different ancient historians attributed different allies, and the wars that surrounded when this war occurred).

activity #2: small group reading: cyrene

so as a group, the Decree of Cyrene was read. what we found was that the justification for founding the colony was under religious reasoning (declaration from Apollo, and they would honour apollo at a sanctuary in cyrene). an interesting few points was that if there was no success at cyrene, the travellers were to return to Thera (the colonisers) within 5 years. refusual to return would be seen as rebellion, and order the death of the rebel (and the wording went on to suggest those related to the rebel? though i’m not to sure on that). there was also the notion of equality to an extent — any who arrived at any time, even after the original settlers, were equal in their existance. though the extent of this is questionable.

that’s all for this update(?) thanks for reading so far if you get to this! take care!!

Redrew an old sketch

[manichewitz]

people who only want gay characters to be played by gay actors just dont understand the appeal of two ostensibly straight actors playing two ostensibly straight characters yet having so much chemistry together that they actually want to make out with each other more than just keep with whatever weird subtextual thing is already going on

Your honor, they were watering down my favorite character and not letting them be a jerk.
