My kitty, Trixie, swallowed a needle yesterday. We took her to a vet today and they managed to get it out! ...However, the bill is around $4,000. My mom can pay half, but we need help with the rest! Any donations are appreciated greatly! If you can't donate, please just share the link! <3
No commentsLike a lot of people, I'm insecure about my weight. :/
This past couple weeks I've been eating healthier and exercising!!!
So far, I've lost six pounds! I'm down from 160 lbs to 154 lbs! :D
It's not much, but it's something! :D
I'm usually known as the "smart kid" in school and at my mom's house, but this pandemic has completely destroyed that. My grades use to be all 95% or above and I never had late work. Now, I'm falling one (maybe two) of my classes and I just have no motivation.
I'm pulling an all-nighter just so I can get a bit caught up. :(
No commentsYou know the drill, more Greek stories :P. Arachne was a mortal yet eminent woman in Greek mythology, she was born to Idmon of Colophon, who was a famous dyer, and his wife. She was a weaver who’s skill could rival the gods themselves, which she believed. In her eyes, she could usurp the title of the Goddess of weaving, which is what she wanted to surmount. She challenged Athena, the goddess of war, handicraft, and practical reason, to a test to see who weaves better and who could pilfer the title of best weaver. They both got to weaving straight away. Athena fabricated a scene that had some semblance to events in which mortals have foolishly challenged the gods to contests four different times. Arachne weaved a scene that depicted the ways how the gods have mistreated and got into altercations with mortals. Athena was furious that Arachne had mocked/ condone mocking the gods in this way and had woven it more beautifully than her own. An irate Athena made a rift in Arachne’s tapestry then ripped it up which caused Arachne to hang herself out of shame. After this Athena, with pity, sprinkled her with juice from Hecate’s herb. Archne’s hair then fell out and she shrunk. Her slender fingers became stuck to her sides as legs. Athena transformed her into a spider so even after death she can continue weaving beautiful tapestries.
No commentsI have been researching Andromeda and its constellation for class. :P Greek Mythology is a gigantic part of my daily life, so I wanted to just vomit out some info on her! :3
Andromeda was the daughter of the King of Aethiopia, Cepheus, and his wife, Cassiopeia. When her mother boasts about how her daughter is more beautiful than the Nereids, or sea nymphs, an offended Poseidon sends Cetus, a sea monster, to attack the shores of Aethiopia. To appease Poseidon and Cetus, Andromeda is chained to a rock to be sacrificed after an oracle told her father it would be the only way to satiate the gods. She is saved by Perseus, who is known for beheading Medusa, when he slays the monster with the same blade he used on Medusa and they wed each other (Though, there is a bit of a discussion on the possibility of Perseus using Medusa’s gaze to turn Cetus into stone.) He takes her to Greece so she can serve as his queen. At their marriage, Andromeda's uncle , Phineus shows up to argue that since he was already promised to Andromeda, Perseus cannot marry her. Perseus then turns him to stone using the decapitated head of Medusa.
The goddess Athena promises Andromeda that when she dies, she will place her into the sky, among the stars. She keeps this promise, and this is where the Andromeda constellation comes from. The Andromeda constellation is between the Perseus Constellation and the Cassiopeia constellation. It can be seen from the Northern hemisphere from June through February since it is an autumn constellation. The constellation can be seen from the first quadrant of the northern hemisphere. The specific latitude of the constellation is between +90° and -40°.
Listening to the HypnoSpace Outlaw soundtrack while making my account is such a vibe. :3
