I spent so much of my life romanticizing the Great and Powerful Enormity of the Sea, reading about the salt and the sweat of the sailors straining to haul the sails or anchor while dreading the monsters in the cold, icy deep fathoms below…and now you tell me that a fathom is only 6 feet deep -

Six feet is still more than enough for a grave.

Sumerian Veteran: *has severe PTSD but doesn't know it because the term won't be invented for another 5000 years* I fight the same battle in my dreams every night and my relationship with my family has fallen apart.

Sumerian Healer: *saw hundreds of veterans with the exact same affliction before* You're cursed by desert demons.

actually we have recorded texts of sumerian warriors describing symptoms that closely match ptsd, and the diagnoses was not desert demons, but rather "Those dudes you killed are still attacking you with their ghosts because you killed them"

"Gay" was such a derogatory term for my generation/demographic that with the rise of LGBTQ rights we actually had to have accompanying ad campaigns to discourage people from using it as an insult.

I've never been called queer as a slur but boy do I have experiences with the word 'gay'. And yet you don't see us falling over ourselves to stop people from identifying with the term. Anyone who says "queer is a slur!" but lets "gay" pass without comment is fucking lying. It's a dogwhistle.
