"Giants may walk the earth again, but for how long? ... Extinction has only one cause, and that cause is older, even, than the wheel. That cause is human greed."

All Demeter wants is to safely shuttle her passengers to their destination, but everything keeps going wrong.
@barbaratruelove.bsky.social's Of Monsters and Mainframes was such a fun time! Definitely one of my favorite reads so far this year.

Anyway, this is just a reminder that early humans were human. They took care of the sick and loved art & saturated fat.
Thinking that everything they did was a grim survival tactic?
That's usually us projecting our issues onto the past. Not what their own lives were actually about.

This entire thread is such a good read!
So they found a 125,000 yr old Neanderthal fat rendering plant & I have thoughts.
Knowing that they loved saturated fat SO MUCH that they industrialized to get as much of it as humanly possible?
Makes me feel seen, heard, supported, etc www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

My once-a-year-ish dip into the romance genre.
I picked this one up because I'd heard it avoided a specific trope I'm not big on, and it ended up being the perfect June-July pride months read 🌈📚💙

What are your top 4 favorite anime?
Definitely have more than four I'd consider favs, so instead of listing the big-name ones, here are 3 shows and 1 movie that I feel like are lesser known/less popular.

Finally watched Venom: The Last Dance. It seems a lot of people disliked it, but I thought it was a goofy good time.
