You can withdraw from the sufferings of the world—that possibility is open to you and accords with your nature—but perhaps that withdrawal is the only suffering you might be able to avoid.
On the island of Torcello, at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice excavation site, some protagonists of the island’s thousand-year history have begun to emerge. A tomb datable to around 700 A.D. has recently been unearthed by the site’s team of scholars hailing from universities throughout Italy, under the scientific direction of archaeologist Diego Calaon (a Marie Curie Fellow).
“The subject is a young adult, whose burial—not far from the area we imagine was used as a cemetery adjacent to the Basilica during the Early Middle Ages—maintained nearly the entire skeleton intact, with the exception of the head. We mustn’t be misled, however: The discovery of the residual parts of the right side of the skull and of the perforation coming from above (probably due to a construction pole) which occurred during modern times, indicate that the burial was complete and that the defects we see today resulted from activities which occurred later on in the area.” Read more.

sometimes it’s just really fucked up to be lgbt+ it’s fucked up that my identity is a “conversation” it’s fucked up that my identity is an “opinion” it’s fucked up that im told to accept people for having their own opinion even if their opinion is directly against my personhood it’s fucked up that in order to keep some friends and family i have to allow them to be “neutral” “iffy” or just straight up in my face homophobic about my identity it’s fucked up that when i call them out on it im told that im not being accepting of their opinions as if we’re on equal footing and I’m being the asshole it’s just all so fucking fucked up sometimes
If you’re in Berlin, I advise staying the fuck away from Alexanderplatz right now (17:30 October 3), nazis are gathering there to march through Friedrichshain, down Karl-Marx-Allee towards ubf/sbf Warschauer Straße
Update (20:04) nazi March from Alexanderplatz canceled, but for now beware of trains leaving Alexanderplatz and the area, especially the U2 towards Pankow and U5 towards Hellersdorf/Hönow
Also be careful if you’re in the Bernauer Straße area, in case anyone is lingering from the nazi March this afternoon
Yeah I understand schroedingers law, that any closed box could contain either whatever is supposed to be in it, or a dead cat, which is why i don’t go into shoe stores,
