Even funnier thing to imagine: resurrecting Diogenes too and telling him that “Platonic” relationships means not fucking, he’d probably laugh himself back to death.

So I actually know the origin of this term because it came up when I studied Plato in my classes. Basically, in ancient Greece it was a super common practice for teachers to fuck their students. Like all the time. It was considered a way for the student to “pay” the teacher. Plato thought this was bullshit. He felt that a student could not properly learn from someone who was truly only interested in having sex with them. He didn’t fuck his students and derided those who did. Other teachers who refused to fuck their students were said to have “platonic” teaching relationships with them – so named because they were following Plato’s example. So the reason it’s called a Platonic relationship is because Plato was heavily anti-teachers-fucking-their-students and it’s one of the few things he was ever even remotely correct about.

Fun fact about this, though – Socrates also famously didn’t fuck his students. But um… his students were not really happy about that. Like, really ridiculously heartbroken over the fact that Socrates would not have sex with them. He had one student who just absolutely goes off in the Symposium about how he set out to seduce Socrates into teaching him philosophy (as you did), but then ended up falling in love with him, only to discover that Socrates had a strict “no sleeping with students” policy. He even warns the other handsome twink in the room that he better not get his hopes up, because, despite all expectations to the contrary, Socrates isn’t planning to fuck him:

“…I am not the only person he has treated thus: there are Charmides, son of Glaucon, Euthydemus, son of Diocles, and any number of others who have found his way of loving so deceitful that he might rather be their favorite than their lover. I tell you this, Agathon, to save you from his deceit, that by laying our sad experiences to heart you may be on your guard and escape learning by your own pain, like the loon in the adage.”

The ancient Greeks, man.

fyi non-natives wearing moccasins isnt cultural appropriation but if you want moccasins you should definitely be buying them from natives. otherwise youre creating profit for the white people who were/are trying to exterminate us.

I was told this by a Native American guy I went to school with so now I do that. I’d rather put money back where it belongs. This resonates deeply with me as a black woman who tries to support Black and Non White individuals. - K

!!! Please this thing, don’t buy crappy moccasin rip off shoes from chains, please make sure you buy authentic ones made by us!! Also stop wearing them in the fucking rain and ruining them goddamnit

also the ones made by first nations are always way better anyway????? there’s this woman named Sunshine Tenasco-Brazeau in eastern canada that makes them for babies and they’ve been known to sell like crazy because they’re amazing. You can get them here and she employs tons of other first nations women and it’s a great little native-owned company.

Reblogging this for the links in the last comment. It’s really cool to raise awareness, but it’s even cooler with something like this to provide links to places where you can actually buy the goods in question!

Beyond Buckskin has a whole list of native online retailers, so you can get your fix and feel good about where you’re sending your money!

roseburgers link is broken (for me at least) but I did manage to find this website that also hosts some of Sunshine’s work!

OMG LOOK AT THIS… @morganeskylar shared this w/ me. Dark Love has these deliciously goth chocolate collections at reasonable prices, no less.

EDIT: September 22, 2018: People have been cutting off the original caption which has the link to buy these, and then later reblogs accuse OP of not having the link! So I edited the original post so the link is above the caption, AND to include Dark Love’s NEW OFFERING: the Undead collection!

DARK LOVE 6 PIECE UNDEAD COLLECTION
One of each of the new Undead flavors: First Love (cherry amaretto), Facade (peppermint), Immortal (peach marzipan), Hellsing (toffee coconut), Devil’s Claim (whiskey caramel), Elysian (peanut butter)

I bought the original set and they were delicious, a coven party in my mouth, A++++ highly recommend.

BRB, waving this at Your Curmudgeonly Uncle Pete, because why yes, this would be a perfect anniversary present.

I don’t know who first spelled the name as “Guinevere,” but I’m forever thankful that it’s the form in most common use, because other options include “Guanhumara” “Guennuuar” “Gahunmare” and “Wenneuereia”

thanks to whichever medieval person decided it was time to stop calling the queen by random horse noises

gentle reminder in this cold-n-flu season to not take mucinex if you’re also taking an SSRI (antidepressant)

always google “drug interactions [insert drug names]” to make sure that combining meds won’t make you more sick

mucinex DM specifically

the dextromethorphan reacts badly with the serotonin and can cause really bad anxiety and insomnia. it can also cause something called serotonin syndrome, or serotonin poisoning.

regular mucinex is ok, but you should always double check medication reactions!

Had a mild bout of serotonin syndrome this year and lemme tell ya folks it is NOT FUN and in serious situations can be fatal. Always follow medication dosing guidelines and ask if you aren’t sure!

Once upon a time I worked in this little burger/coffee/ice cream shop and a lady came in one winter and asked if we had a caramel apple drink and we were like ‘well we have cider’ and she was like ‘no I don’t remember what it’s called but this place made a drink that was chai tea, apple cider, and caramel’ and Breezy offered to try and make something for her but she changed her mind and left so Breezy and I were like ‘alright let’s try this’ because we had chai tea, instant cider mix, a shit ton of caramel, instant hot water from the espresso and too much free time.

And let me tell you it was delightful. It tastes like watching the leaves changing color and dancing in the wind. It tastes like picking out pumpkins and gourds and fresh apples at the farm up north. It tastes like witches and freedom.

I make it every year now and this year I walked in the house on the morning of October first with all the ingredients and shouted ‘FALL DRINK’ and my roommates were like ‘????’ so I made them Fall Drink and now every time they get home from work they’re like ‘Fall Drink pls?????’

Anyway I remember literally nothing else about that woman but I’m very grateful to her.

I wonder if the idea of supporting your artist friends by commissioning them will bring back having portraits of oneself in the home. but instead them being like, a status symbol, as a way to show off your very talented friends?

Like “ah yes I see you admiring the family portrait above the mantlepiece - my friend drew it, aren’t they talented? here’s their twitter they’re accepting commissions OH and they also did the one of my D&D group in the living room come see!”
