I’m going to Constantinople, that shit better not be Istanbul

Real shit

You know I know I reblogged this already with a joke but—

Re the tags “transphobic parents visiting their out adult children,” it’s even MORE appropriate because we do actually know why Istanbul is no longer Constantinople. It’s because the name came from Constantine, a Roman emperor who converted to Christianity in the third century and immediately decided it was the state religion for the entire Holy Roman Empire—hence the name of that.

Thing is, he was a complete warmonger and also Türkiye hasn’t had a Christian majority in over five hundred years. The predominant religion in Türkiye is Islam—90% of voting-age people in Türkiye are Sunni Muslim—and in the third century when Constantine pulled his shit, most of the people there were pagans. Instanbul was renamed to remove the name of a force that was oppressive and no longer appropriate.

[image: Tumblr tag: #transphobic parents visiting their out adult children]

This young man you thought was your daughter
Has a new name (Sam; he’s named for your father)
So before you say ‘now where is my daughter?’
He’s the kid you recall, barely changed at all.

Trust me ma’am, you won’t want to bother
Saying ‘you’re no son,’ if so, you’re no mother
He’s afraid today, cause you’re coming over,
And he’s telling you what he’s done

Now, you wouldn’t call Aunt Peggy ‘Margeret’
We all know she hates that name.
Promise you, Sammy feels the same

So run that back: you don’t have a daughter,
Got a son named Sam, and you are his mother
If you can’t take that, then don’t even bother

And I’m sorry to say it but it’s true,
He’ll be who is without you.

And I’m sorry to

say it but it’s true, He’ll be

who is without you.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

the most perfect and correct answer to #23 of my bug ask list has been found by my partner

Q: if you could rename any bug, which one and what would you call it?

A: replace any “lesser” or “common” in bug names with “special little”

examples:

• special little Eastern bumblebee (Bombus impatiens)
• special little appleworm (Grapholita prunivora)
• special little brown scorpion (Isometrus maculatus)

all in favor please like and reblog

imagine if there was a movie called Bin Laden and it showed everything leading up to 9/11 from his perspective and showed he felt really really bad about it. and imagine if it was premiering the same weekend as sonic 3 or something and #osonicbinladen started trending

Ain’t nothing like turning to your coworker to ask what they’re making and hearing them say “piranha solution”.

For the curious it’s a mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. It’ll dissolve anything organic faster than you can say “fuck I spilled it”.

cryptotheism:

“At last, as if resolved to wage war, he drew up his army on the shore of the ocean [the English Channel – Northern France], with his ballistas and other war machines. And while no one could imagine what he intended to do, he suddenly commanded them to gather up seashells, and fill their helmets and the folds of their tunics with them, calling them ” the spoils of the sea due to the Capitoline and the Palatine.”

"As a monument to his success, he erected a lighthouse, upon which, as at the Pharos of Alexandria, he ordered lights to be burned in the nighttime for the direction of ships at sea. Finally, promising the soldiers a reward of a hundred denarii each, as if he had surpassed the most eminent examples of generosity, he said “Go your ways and be merry; for now you are rich!”

(Suetonius, Life of Caligula, 46)
