me: what is your wisdom today, oh great stoic philosopher marcus aurelius

marcus aurelius:

Etruscan Bronze Helmet in the Shape of a Wolf’s Head 6th-5th centuries BCE.

something something the fates holding the thread of life and penelope being a weaver constantly unraveling the burial shroud to buy her husband time something something

Sertorious, Lucullus, Ventidius, Sex. Pompey and Tiberius enter an underrappreciated roman generals competition. Who wins best general? (And why isn't it Tiberius so he can forever keep being the guy nobody appreciated)

What counts as "underrated" here?

No members of the first or second triumvirate, nor Marius or Sulla, who are almost as well-known, at least on classics Tumblr.

Primary military campaigns must have occurred between 133 and 27 BCE. (This rules out Tiberius.)

No one who is likely to show up in a blockbuster movie or miniseries. (This rules out Agrippa, who appeared in Cleopatra (1963) and Imperium: Augustus.)

Another Odysseus, it’s been a while (yes this is my new favourite pose to draw)

Circe by John Collier (1885)

She's the warrior of my mind

Watched a great talk today about web/technology accessibility, and the speaker pointed out that yes, accessibility is important for people with permanent disabilities, and we should definitely care about that. But also accessibility helps EVERYBODY, because everybody will, at some point in their lives, find themselves in situations that accessible technology can help with. Here are permanent, temporary, and situational disabilities that accessible technology can help with:

Remember that whether something is disabling or not depends on the situation, the environment, the technology, etc. We’re ALL disabled at some point. It is important to support permanently disabled people, but it is also important to remember that accessibility helps us all!
