just found a family of patrons who have given all of their children the names of roman emperors. augusta, octavia, julius, and trajan, all between the ages of eleven and eighteen
Personally, I don’t believe in bros before hoes, or hoes before bros.
There needs to be a balance. A homie-hoe-stasis, if you will.
really tired of memes about how "historians" won't admit that achilles and patroclus were lovers and I have to say if you're going to start pulling that on me I want you to be naming individual historians. "Historians" aren't just a category of inherently homophobic people, and leaving alone modern queer scholars (like myself!) doing their work in the 21st century, W.M. Clarke wrote "Achilles and Patroclus in Love in 1978 so I won't stand for "all historians prior to the past decade were homophobic" either.
academia and classics especially is rooted in white supremacy, yes, it has traditionally upheld homophobia as the norm, but painting historians as a single immutable category of person is anti-intellectual and harms those of us who are currently and have In the Past Also been queer scholars doing queer readings of these works and that have been doing so as long as we have had access to them. People have made this argument far more eloquently than I have but today's just being a day and I need to complain about it because quotes from W.M. Clarke are among my top-reblogged quotes and no one ever seems to look at the date on them.
It would be so funny if autistic people started describing allistic experience the same pathologised way doctors describe autism
Symptoms of being neurotypical:
Don't be discouraged if you're neurotypical. If you work hard, you too can be decent at math and accomplish the same things autistic people can!
