"Of course, Dionysus and Apollo did not fight but complement one another at Delphi : the apodemia of one marked the epidemia of the other. Dionysus held sway for the three winter months and Apollo for the rest of the year; but winter did not symbolise night or darkness, because that season witnessed Dionysus' birth and joyful reawakening in the Corycian Cave on Parnassus under the care of the Thyiades. Apollo returned on the 7th of Bysios, or physios, that is the month of growth according to Plutarch. In other words, both gods symbolised renewal. Nietzsche's division between reason and abandon, form and dissolution, inspiration and ecstasy, arose from a modern philosophical perception of Apollo and Dionysus in Greek religion : it was a 'genialer Irrtum' without basis in the classical cult of the two gods in general, and their function at Delphi in particular."

– Bernard C. Dietrich, "Divine Madness and Conflict at Delphi"

Once again saw someone yell on here about how "nobody is going to report this aaah the media is evil", closed this app and not even a minute later saw a report with that exact content on a major news platform. Ngl this phrasing is rapidly being added to the list of things i won't reblog on principle.

I just read an article where a WWII medic by the name of John Burch of the 82nd Airborne Division discussed just how troubling of an environment the Battle of the Bulge was for a medic.

Under the Geneva Conventions medics were not allowed to carry weapons and were not supposed to be targeted. “The Germans didn’t respect at all,” Burch said.

Burch spent a lot of time at the hospital that had been set up in Reims after the Germans had just been ejected from the town, but he said that no one knew where the front lines were.

As the battle progressed, the wounded continued to flood in, as did some unwanted guests.

“Germans were dressed in American uniforms over their own and were dropping into areas by parachute.”

“(Once) some came in two ambulances dressed in American uniform and greatly hurt the medical staff of the 101st – they murdered really, the medics and we found out then it was not wise to be known as a medic.”

Let that set in.

German dressed in American uniforms hijacked ambulances in order to infiltrate the hospital, slaughtering doctors and medics.

The enemy was walking amongst them, purposefully targeting soldiers whose only mission for the war was to help their own.

To say it was “not wise to be known as a medic” was an understatement. The situation was so bad, in fact, that the general of the 101st Airborne offered some advice:

“The general of the 101st met with our commander and said, he couldn’t order us to carry weapons, but he advised that it was up to us. So, we taped over our steel helmets that had red crosses on them and hid our identification and were given pistols. We didn’t really know how to use them, but … we never put on our red crosses again.”

I wish they would have included a scene that shows this kind of thing because I think having to watch these unarmed angels of the battlefield cover up a symbol that was supposed to protect them would have been super powerful.

@sparrow-in-the-field i see u fam

"In the shell, a coxswain wears a headband which holds a megaphone in front of his mouth (he has to use both hands for steezing), a pair of shorts, and a watch strapped to his left thigh. The watch is for estimating the speed of his own crew and the other contestants. Speed is measured in strokes per minute; you count the number of strokes rowed in 30 seconds. and multiply by two. Some people count for 15 seconds and multiply by four, but Moch says this isn’t accurate enough.”

Heard a rumor awhile ago that fnv was going to have serious romance options but Josh cut it and was like, heartbroken for along time

but I just now searched up and it only turned out that only cass and the courier were going to get drunk and randomly marry and it was supposed to be "Humourous and funny" like fo2 instead of actual romance like fo4 and I feel better about it now
