a lot of you hate historians and archaeologists, and i think that’s a problem

look, i fully recognize that there are reasons to be skeptical of history and archaeology. i am very on board with criticizing academia as an oppressive institution, and the way that researchers take their bigotry and bias with them to their work. i also recognize that academia does a pretty bad job of communicating what it does to the public, and that’s a part of why people’s hostility to it is able to flourish.

but i am disturbed by the pervasive narrative in online leftist spaces that people who research the human past are ignorant and bigoted, and i think we need to do more to combat that narrative.

historians being homophobic has become a whole meme, and it feels like people are just using historians as a homophobia scapegoat, when in reality the humanities are overwhelmingly left-leaning. people also keep blaming historians for erasing the homoeroticism of fictional literary characters, which is just… not what historians do. homophobic biases and erasures in the interpretation of history over the past few hundred years are a very real thing that’s important to learn about, but scholars have radically shifted away from that approach in recent generations, and these memes are not helping people outside the field to understand history and reception. instead, a lot of people are coming away with the impression that…

(source… really? nobody?)

this thread gets bonus points for the comments claiming that modern historians argue about whether achilles was a top or a bottom using homophobic stereotypes, which i can only guess is a misunderstanding of the erastes/eromenos model (a relationship schema in classical greece; i think people have debated whether achilles and patroclus represent an early version of it). also a commenter claims that the movie troy invented the idea of achilles and patroclus being cousins when no, they were also cousins in lots of ancient sources.

there’s this post about roman dodecahedra (link includes explanation of why the original post is misleading).

there’s this thread about how some thin gold spirals from ancient denmark look exactly like materials used in gold embroidery to this day but archaeologists are stupid and don’t know that because they dont talk to embroiderers enough. in fact, the article says they were most likely used for decorating clothing, whether as a fringe, braided into hair, or embroidered. so the archaeologists in the article basically agree with the post, theyre just less certain about it, because an artifact looking similar to a modern device doesn’t necessarily mean they have identical uses.

this thread has a lot of people interpreting academic nuance as erasure. the museum label literally says that this kind of statue typically depicts a married couple, giving you the factual evidence so you can interpret it. it would be false to say “these two women are married” because there was no gay marriage in ancient egypt. (interpreting nuance as erasure or ignorance is a running theme here, and it points to a disconnect, a public ignorance of how history is studied, that we can very much remedy)

lots of other conspiracy theory-ish stuff about ancient egypt is common in social justice communities, which egyptologists on this site have done a good job of debunking

oh, and this kind of thing has been going around. the problem with it is that there are loads of marginalized academics who research things related to their own lives, and lived experience and rigorous research are different forms of expertise that are both valuable.

so why does this matter?

none of these are isolated incidents. for everything i’ve linked here, there are examples i havent linked. anti-intellectualism, especially against the humanities, is rampant lately across the political spectrum, and it’s very dangerous. it’s not the same as wanting to see and understand evidence for yourself, it’s not the same as criticizing institutions of academic research. it’s the assumption that scholars are out to get you and the perception that there is no knowledge to be gained from thorough study. that mindset is closely connected to the denial of (political, scientific, and yes historical) facts that we’ve been seeing all around us in recent years.

on a personal note, so many marginalized scholars are trying to survive the dumpster fire of academia because we care that much about making sure the stories that are too often unheard don’t get left out of history… and when that’s the entire focus of my life right now, it’s disheartening to see how many of my political allies are just going to assume the worst about the entire field

Your curse!Gojo AU is amazing and I love the art!! Just generally all the jjk art I've seen from you is top notch 👌👌 I was wondering about what you think Gojo and Getou's relationship is like in the au, especially Getou's thoughts about Gojo's two forms? Again, love your art ❤️💕

thank you!!  i ended up doodling more thinking about this ask, oops...

image

and expanded thoughts under the cut

i think their relationship would be...stilted? for the lack of a better word. there's an inherent power imbalance since geto would be the "master" in the relationship with his technique, and i think he would be deeply unsettled by that as long as he sees gojo as his best friend. he would love gojo so much, to the point of perfecting his technique so as to give gojo a form that he could be himself in somewhat and not just a monstrous curse, but geto would be unable to fully love gojo in a way that he wants because of that power dynamic, nor would he be able to let him go (as exorcising gojo would mean he would disappear forever). gojo would understand why geto is uncomfortable, but wouldn't let it stop him from being flirty and clingy lol. which i think he would be in his human shape. if anything it would make him even more affectionate than he already was when he was human, as curses seem to be more... true to themselves? at least in canon. i think he would experience emotions differently: love is a little more twisted, anger and wrath more pure--as a curse rather than a human. which has geto conflicted too as y'know, he'd probably want his best friend to live and die as a human. geto would probably try to refrain from using gojo as a curse too much except for when he needs to crush an enemy beyond any doubt. i think seeing his best friend as a mindless curse would be too painful for geto. as for gojo's human shape, it would also be painful to manifest gojo that way but geto wouldn't be able to help it since he loves gojo too much to not to. but he wouldn’t manifest his human shape unless he’s sure they’re 100% safe to do so, as gojo would have very little curse energy in that shape. (if you thought this was gonna be a happy AU I’M SORRY)

So! You may remember back towards the beginning of summer I mentioned that I was making my own watercolor paints using charcoal from the Troublesome Fire last year, then planning to sell the paintings to raise money for our local fire departments. I fell a little behind on the project because life, but then I found out that I got into two art events in the county with very short notice so I suddenly had to finish everything VERY VERY QUICKLY. So the last couple weeks have just been a mad dash of painting painting painting.

But I did it! The series is done!

I am so thrilled with how they came out.

I’ll have the originals and a handful of prints of each design for sale at the following two events:

The first Art in the Park in Granby Colorado at Polhamus Park. I’ll also be live painting a mural there using the same paint. This event is on Saturday September 4th 2021. (Also maybe the 3rd? The way they’ve listed the dates is a bit weird.)

Fraser Oktoberfest from Friday September 17th-19th 2021 in Fraser Colorado. (I think I’ll be there all three days? Again, the way they’ve listed the dates is a bit weird. AREN’T SMALL TOWN EVENTS FUN???)

Anywho. Here’s all five paintings! The majority of the profits will go to the local fire departments. Each one features a local animal and a local landscape and they were all painted using watercolor created from Troublesome Fire charcoal and locally sourced honey. Super super pleased with how they came out.

So! You May Remember Back Towards The Beginning Of Summer I Mentioned That I Was Making My Own Watercolor

ftr I am forever going to be bitter that the post I wanted to be "let's talk about extinct ecosystems and how cool they are!" got derailed into yet another post just talking about a single taxon like the millions of other posts on palaeoblr

i am feeling emotional about the people in my phone because we are literally witnessing each others lives and growth in such an intimately distant way. i know your favourite book passages but i don't know your last name and if i make it to 60 i will probably still think of you often even then
