Can I Copy Your Homework? Kotor Edition

Seriously, it is not lesbophobic to rightfully object to your identity being erased. Would it have been that hard for the person taking the pictures to call it a queer wedding, a bisexual wedding, a wlw wedding, or even a same gender wedding? 

"Lesbian can be used as an adjective for wlw duh." But also "Don't you dare use lesbian if you're bi/pan!"

Heaven Forbid the bisexual brides feel their sexuality is invalidated by being known as "sword lesbians" online when they are both bisexual. Can y'all just say you hate m-spec women and go to hell?

Agreed. Peebee might be annoying, but at least she and Vetra both apologize for their mistaken first assumptions about each other in further conversations. 

Confession:  I’m not really the biggest fan of Liam. I don’t hate him but his tendencies to make some really stupid decisions that could have some serious consequences and just be judgey as all hell really bother me. He’ll give Vetra shit about being irresponsible by bringing Sid to Andromeda, meanwhile he’s off handing out sensitive information? It just rubs me the wrong way. I wish the fandom would be more chill with people that just don’t like him.

We’re all pieces on a game board, Dr. March, and some of us are more powerful than others. You. Me. Her. We’re the ones the gods want. We’re the ones they’re fighting over.” “And I suppose you consider yourself the king on this board?” “You must not have played chess in a while. The king is the weakest piece in the game.” He gave Justin a level look. “The queen’s the strongest.”

The Romans When They're Drunk

Caesar: He doesn't get drunk, and no one encourages him to. They don't know what he's like drunk, and they don't want to know

Antony: Is a really happy drunk. Cuddles with everyone and impulsively buys all kinds of nonsense. When he wakes up in the morning he's surrounded by his drunk purchases but has no idea who drained his bank account.

Brutus: Sobs hysterically, an absolute wreck. Tells you his whole life story and you'll find him throwing up in the bathroom later, Cassius holding his hair back while he has to listen to him cry about his past for the millionth time.

Octavian: Starts giving speeches to everyone while standing on the table. He thinks they're motivational, but they're complete gibberish.

Cassius: A bold, angry drunk. Will fight anyone and can make literally anything into a weapon.

Pompey: Calls everybody beautiful and suddenly is under the impression that he can sing and dance.

Eros and Psyche’s story is one of my favorite Greek myths. 

‘Psyche Entering Cupid's Garden’ - John William Waterhouse

Yikes! I knew Augustus made Cleopatra out to be an evil homewrecker, but this just takes the cake for ridiculous rumors. 

I've read in several scholarly articles that ancient Egyptians perfected the art of flipping crocodiles on their backs and having sex with them to ensure good fortunate and prosperity in their lives. Is this... is this true? Did ancient Egyptians actually fuck Nile Crocodiles? Further, did Cleopatra actually use bees for sexual pleasure? I understand bestiality was still punishable by death in Egypt for most of its history but - are these things really true?

No. No they’re not.

May Alcott Nieriker

-Very loosely the basis for Amy in Little Women, May Alcott’s illustrations for Little Women were panned by critics. After studying in Europe, her paintings were twice selected by the famous Paris Salon. 

-In addition, she wrote and published a book called, Studying Art Abroad and How to Do It Cheaply, which gave advice to aspiring American artists (particularly women) on how to learn to paint in Europe while on a budget. 

-She was praised for being a talented copyist of J.M.W.Turner, and also specialized in still life paintings. One of these still life paintings was selected by the Paris Salon in 1877.

-Unfortunately, she died shortly after giving birth to her daughter Louisa May “Lulu” Nieriker in December 1879. Lulu was raised by her aunt Louisa May Alcott until the author’s death in 1888. She was subsequently raised by her father Ernest Nieriker. 

-In 2002 there was an exhibition of her work titled “Lessons, Sketching, and dreams: May Alcott as Artist”.
