Yesterday some acquaintances of mine were commenting on their friend’s sunburned back, and went on for a couple of minutes about how his sunburn made him “look like a Republican from behind.” I come from a small town about the size of Oberlin and much further from any…

To clarify—by commenting on the sunburn, the person was joking that their friend looked like a redneck, and was then making a joke about the classist cultural assumptions that go along with being redneck (ie: dumb, mean, dirty and Republican.) Because I come from a rural area and have friends who call themselves rednecks and reclaim the term as a mark of pride in their mostly lower-income, mainly farming community, I was upset by a privileged Oberlin student joking about his privileged friend’s sunburn, and the conflation of identities (redneck, rural, poor, Republican) that went along with it.

This was over a year ago. I am currently a Junior in high school, and I plan to major in and ultimately pursue a higher degree in Classics.

When you are my age, adults at times approach you and ask about your plans for your future. A friend of mine who knew that my interest was Classics…

stay strong, classics majors of the world! There is life after Latin.

I think I’ll let some unsuspecting mortal answer that one.

Greek mythology jokes are the best jokes

Mirror mirror on the wall,

this can only end in two very long poems.

How I hope my school’s Homerathon ends

Is a Homerathon similar to a Bardic Reading? Just how much Homer are you marathoning? I’m asking because my school has an event where we read an epic poem from beginning to end…

That sounds super cool! Thanks for sharing!

Volume 20 - Extra 2

Hiromu Arakawa is literally a perfect author.

All I can think of right now is “she had a big booty, so I called her big booty.”
