This is how Ancient Greece really looked like. Here's a reconstruction of Curetes Street in ancient Ephesus.

Ps: A peristyle house on the corner of Curetes Street is known as the brothel, because in the excavations, a statue of Priapus with an oversize phallus was found there.

Fun fact: an underground tunnel was constructed from the Library of Celsus to a brothel.

Traduzindo a minha thread que era pra ser só uma resposta a um tweet mas virou quase um desabafo:

Fui diagnosticada há alguns meses, aos 25 anos. Passei por psicólogos e psiquiatras desde os 3 anos e recebi todos os tipos de diagnóstico, exceto autismo.

(segue..)

Hoje consigo ver que era muito óbvio.

Nós (mulheres) somos subdiagnosticadas, especialmente porque quando expressamos nossos traços autistas, as pessoas não os veem como traços autistas. Nos veem como tímidas, rudes, anti-sociais..

E os médicos (pessoas), em geral, NÃO estão preparados para lidar com o autismo e pessoas autistas, muito menos para diagnosticar.

No meu caso, foi questionado e descartado na infância. Imaginem o qt a minha vida teria sido diferente se eu tivesse encontrado alguém capacitado.

With the train several minutes late and the driver trying to make up for lost time, it approached the station too fast and there was a failure to apply the train air brake.

A woman in the street below was killed by falling masonry.
