Now I get it. Anne Shirley was right; sometimes pretending you’re an exiled princess fallen from her state or a wealthy criminal who’s decided to take a minimum wage job to evade detection IS the only way to get through the work day

It’s so hilarious President Snow, in order to avoid suspicion that he was the one poisoning his political opponents, would eat the same food and be like, “see I’m not dying, couldn’t be poison or me teehee 😊” but since he was, you know, ingesting poison, it’s impacting his health to the point he very obviously smells likes blood and death.

Capitol citizens: wow President, all your enemies keep dying from poison like symptoms… any thoughts on the matter?

Snow: probably poor constitutions, in the picture of health *coughs up blood*

So many people misunderstand the Ides of March.

The roman republic at that time was incredibly corrupt and filled with oportunists. Republic is not immediately better than empire. The republic was ruled by the aristocrats, Caesar was actually from the group Populars which was about trying to promote ideas that the more ordinary people had. His support was literally in the common folk. The other side was called Optimates, optimus in lating means the best. They were the senators and priviliged.

When Caesar was murdered, the common folk were sad and enraged and his murderers had to immediately flee. Yes, Caesar was a dictator - for a few years, because that was a literal republic title! It didnt have bad connotations, it just meant he had special powers. He did hold the office for longer than he should have, but there were precedents for that as well.

And no, Caesar wasn't the first emperor, that was his adopted son Augustus.

So yeah, if you're celebrating this because of the wrong reasons, I hope this urges you to not read blindly. Republic is not better just because its republic, it was in decline and the common folk lived better under the Empire.

A little advice from someone studying extremist groups: if you’re in a social media environment where the daily ubiquitous message is that you have no hope of any kind of future and you can’t possibly achieve anything without a violent overthrow of society, you’re being radicalized, and not in the good way.

Btw when someone says "don't talk to me like that, I don't know you" the normal thing to do is apologize for the perceived overfamiliarity and correct the behavior. Just in case anyone was wondering

In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can't donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.

it's so sickening knowing while im enjoying everything here at home Palestine is being bombed all day and night. i hope no one ever stops reblogging and talking and protesting until everything is over and the Palestinians are free from the 70+ year genocide of their people

In light of the current shit with tumblr making us opt-out of sharing our blogs with AI scrapers, I checked the state of Wordpress for this and, not surprisingly since it's the same company, you need to opt out there too.

If you have a wordpress-blog of the NAME.wordpress.com kind, you need to go into Settings and under the section Privacy, hit the checkmark for "Prevent third-party sharing for NAME.wordpress.com".

I know some of us here at writeblr have secondary blogs on wordpress, so make sure to opt-out of AI scraping there.

hey gang, as promised, saph and i have been working to get a community fundraiser going in order to help people in palestine. we have chosen the palestine children's relief fund as our focus right now. we have a community page set to the goal of $1000. given that we have over 98k followers, we understand we have a responsibility to speak out on the genocide that is happening in palestine at the hands of the israeli government. so, without further ado, here is our fundraiser. give what you can, and if you can't afford to help the cause financially, remember to continue speaking on palestine and continue boycotting.

the tag for the fundraiser will be: #dear ao3 fundraiser

the link will also be in our bio once we figure out how to do that

please donate, and keep supporting palestine.
