@Lady how is it, other than quotably strange?

@Lady what is this that you are reading anyway?

@Lady ah yeah i didn't recognize it as a common title trope but did recognize it as probably sappho and i put in way more effort than it should have required (nobody cites which surviving fragment of her work they're quoting! it appears to fragment 102, at least in the numbering used on both digitalsappho.org and the specific translation being quoted) to try and figure out how what you might be objecting to in the translation lol

@Lady what part

why do people on tv shows just casually do blackmail so much

@Lady that does feel like it has potential (to obsess fedi)

@Lady ah.

@Lady hmm, yeah, that would also be my intuition. i am unfamiliar with the context this is coming up in.

@Lady idk about temperature but https://www.fda.gov/radiation-emitting-products/tanning/ultraviolet-uv-radiation#6 says that there's more in the summer: «The sun’s angle in relation to the Earth varies according to season. During the summer months the sun is in a more direct angle, resulting in a greater amount of UV radiation.»

(with https://www.epa.gov/sunsafety/sun-safety-monthly-average-uv-index seeming to confirm that point)
