The beginning of a memorable speech.. 

“i could fix him” “i could make him worse” well i come to bury caesar not to praise him. the evil that men do lives after them,

Thought I’d share this with Floralia being upon us, which also overlaps with Beltane.

Fulvia

(c. 83 BCE-40 BCE) The first non-mythological woman to appear on Roman coins. She was married three times (Publius Clodius Pulcher, Gaius Scribonius Curio, Mark Antony) and actively involved in all her husband’s careers. She testified against the murderer of her first husband, and inherited several street gangs. She unsuccessfully plotted against Octavian in retaliation for divorcing her daughter Clodia. She was exiled to Greece and died. One of her sons by Mark Antony, Antyllus was executed after the Battle of Actium, while the other Jullus committed suicide after participating in a plot with Julia (the daughter of Augustus). 

She’s not as well known, due to being overshadowed by both Livia Drusilla and Cleopatra (who was also involved with Mark Antony).

So true. 

“Incredible,” Justin thought. “They punish their women for what sounds like male weakness to me.”

In which Richelle Mead writes a complex male character who sleeps around without being a sexist asshole.

Practice social distancing by writing a three part condemnation of institutionalised religion that makes you the enemy of everyone.

Percy Shelley, when he was expelled from Oxford. (via incorrect-romanticism)

LOL.

IT IS OFFICIALLY CHRISTMAS SEASON AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

Historic Sit In

Just found out today that one of the first sit-ins in America happened at the Alexandria Library in 1939. This was started by a black lawyer named Samuel Wilbert Tucker, and while he lost the case, Tucker continued to fight back against segregation and was part of the NAACP.

“Cough” shitty Catholic apologists “cough”.

felt inspired to make this after reading some of the comments on my post about liking history

Atton Rand does have a knack for getting into trouble.
