really tired of memes about how "historians" won't admit that achilles and patroclus were lovers and I have to say if you're going to start pulling that on me I want you to be naming individual historians. "Historians" aren't just a category of inherently homophobic people, and leaving alone modern queer scholars (like myself!) doing their work in the 21st century, W.M. Clarke wrote "Achilles and Patroclus in Love in 1978 so I won't stand for "all historians prior to the past decade were homophobic" either.

academia and classics especially is rooted in white supremacy, yes, it has traditionally upheld homophobia as the norm, but painting historians as a single immutable category of person is anti-intellectual and harms those of us who are currently and have In the Past Also been queer scholars doing queer readings of these works and that have been doing so as long as we have had access to them. People have made this argument far more eloquently than I have but today's just being a day and I need to complain about it because quotes from W.M. Clarke are among my top-reblogged quotes and no one ever seems to look at the date on them.

It would be so funny if autistic people started describing allistic experience the same pathologised way doctors describe autism

Symptoms of being neurotypical:

  • You have immobile, frozen hands that do not fidget.
  • Your interests are shallow.
  • You read into phrases past their actual meanings.
  • You are unbothered by eye contact and enjoy staring into people's eyeballs.
  • You do not notice patterns in numbers and objects even when they are logically connected.
  • You don't mind doing things without planning them out first.
  • Instead of saying exactly what you think, you expect others to infer it based on subjective social rules.

Don't be discouraged if you're neurotypical. If you work hard, you too can be decent at math and accomplish the same things autistic people can!
