Genuinely So Much Of The Issues We Are Seeing As A Country Is Due To A Basic Lack Of Education. These

I recently came across these! And they are seriously cool. They are a fan-made tarot deck featuring screenshots and art from gravity falls. Unfortunately they are out of print.

However, I think it would be really cool to make something similar for Villainous . But, I am nowhere near skilled enough to do this yet, as I am still a beginner at drawing. If there is a group of artists that would be willing to help, I can help with the printing and getting things set up!

If you are interested, I have a discord server set up. https://discord.gg/urjKg3j

Webb Telescope Captures Images of Quasar Host Galaxies in Early Universe. Read full article here

June 28, 2023 - In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists utilizing the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have successfully captured images of starlight from two massive galaxies hosting actively growing black holes, known as quasars. These images reveal the earliest epoch to date in which light from stars has been detected around a quasar, less than a billion years after the Big Bang. The findings shed light on the formation of black holes and their relationship with host galaxies in the early universe.

The Study and Findings:

Led by researchers from the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe and the Peking University Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, the study utilized a combination of ground-based observations from the Subaru Telescope and space-based observations from the JWST. The team focused on two quasars, HSC J2236+0032 and HSC J2255+0251, which were discovered through Subaru Telescope's deep survey program. These quasars, located when the universe was around 860 million years old, provided an opportunity to study the properties of their host galaxies. Read full article here.

Concerned citizens armed with fanfiction and the "Bee Movie" script took down a government-run website in Missouri.

Good.

You Are Odysseus

So

I’m a teacher of Classical Civilisation that has taught the Odyssey for over a decade and studied pretty much every myth and story with Odysseus in it.. I think

and I’m writing an Interactive Fiction (choose your own path) version of the Odyssey, inspired by the Homeric phrase “he turned his great heart this way and that”, where you are Odysseus, allowing you to follow his decisions or make your own

and it already has 500 sections to it - written to emulate modern translations of the Odyssey, including the literary features of simile, formula, epithet, and the rest - and 21 different ways to die, and quite a lot of period and theme-appropriate alternatives

(and if I get time, the option to be Telemachus or Penelope, although that might have to wait because it’s already a monster)

and I’ve tested what I’ve made so far on my pupils, other Classics teachers, and some of the leading (and best-read) Greek Mythology podcasters and YouTubers, all of whom have universally loved it (yay!)

(EDIT: Oops and I presented on it at the Classical Association conference last year)

I’m trying to finish it this summer, but need a bit of encouragement to do so

EDIT: and I forgot to say that ideally I’m planning on it being a beautiful BOOK with an old-fashioned cover and lots of ribbons to mark your place ❤️ (ex-bookseller ofc)

so, please let me know if you’d like to know more!
