Watercolour illustration of a huge troll that has turned into rock, in a misty forest landscape. There is a cottage on top of the troll's head.

Mountain trolls are the biggest creatures in Norwegian folklore. They dwell inside mountains in their own realms, where they hoard gold and gemstones.

If they are exposed to sunlight they turn into rock, and legend has it that many mountains in Norway are former trolls.

Impeach him and Remove him Immediately. It's not fair that the American people have to live through something like this because of his actions. He should be held accountable for anything bad that happens after this.

The Roman poet Ovid wrote of the Cave of Sleep, where Hypnos dwells in eternal twilight. No rooster crows, no door creaks, no dogs bark. Poppies bloom at the entrance. Even the gods tread softly here. #MythologyMonday

J.E.Larson's depiction of Thanatos and Hypnos. Hypnos looks a little like Hermes, with wings on his head, holding a drinking horn for sleep, looking sorrowfully to the ground; Thanatos, his opposite, is a soldier with a sword, decked entirely in black, with massive wings; behind them, a crescent moon sits, with bats flapping about.

To sleep is to come close to death, a truth acknowledged as far back as the Greeks: Hypnos is the brother of Thanatos, making Sleep and Death twins. Both dwell in the Underworld in dark, lightless locales, though Hypnos also has an island up top. #mythologymonday

Lesson 13 of "On Tyranny": Practice corporeal politics.
Find your No Kings protest, June 14th.

Top tier. If you haven't watched yet, please do and enjoy. :)

It demands that we hold our own people accountable to the highest moral standards, not because we hate them, but because we love them too much to watch them betray their own values.

A coloured woodcut shows two witches on the shore controlling a storm. Three animals are on land near them. A ship is broken in the water and three people are in the ocean, probably in trouble. A crescent moon is above the clouds and rain.

Anyone that tries to do the "UHH NOT TRUEEE!!!" please do 10 seconds at the very least of looking it up before saying anything. I already feel it coming.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Some of you are a little too worried about me and what I do instead of focusing on what's happening in the world. Fix your priorities, you weirdos.

Wizard: “I haven’t seen the barbarian in a while. Do you think we should go look for them?”

Rogue: “I’m sure they’re fine. Let’s just focus on defeating this slime first ”
