One version of his demise states that Pythagoras died at the hands of his enemies after refusing to run through a field of beans.

What would explain his choice for such a brutal death over beans?

Pythagoras: Death by Beans
Many of us in modern society remember Pythagoras from early high school geometry as we desperately tried to figure out the hypotenuse of right-angled triangles. However, in Ancient Greece Pythagora…

"The Golden ass of Apuleius"
is a psychological study by Marie-Louise #vonFranz (the famous Swiss Jungian analytica), exploring a classic work of the 2nd century by #ApuleiusOfMadauros, in the theme of the 'liberation of the feminine in man'.
I really like reading her work.

Fact or fiction?🤔
In medieval Germany, husbands & wives could settle their disputes through marital duels. The man fought with 1 arm tied behind his back in a hole, while his wife wore weighted clothing & used a sack filled with rocks as her weapon.👇

The disappearance of the sex scene in American cinema, the suppression of the body under the moral imperative of commodities in neoliberal capitalism, and Verhoeven as antagonizer.

PSA for my writer friends using MS Word:

To guard against Microsoft stealing your writing for AI, *every time* they update Office, you'll need to turn their Copilot feature off again.

It's easy. Got to:
File >> Options >> Copilot
and uncheck the Copilot button

Stay safe out there!

A naked, long-haired woman looking stern rides on a leaping or flying goat. Four winged, mostly naked putti (fleshy, winged children from classical mythology) gambol in the foreground. Three wield long sticks held vertically; one raises what appears to be a potted plant; another holds a large circular pot with a small mouth.
