Yes, I understand the Divine Comedy is all about Dante being upset about being exiled from Florence, Italy, but I can still be salty about him shitting on my favs (Cleopatra, Odysseus). The slut shaming of a political leader who slept with only two men (who FYI both slept with way more people) is disgusting!
DNI if you’re going to blather on about how “important” his work is.
So called pro lifers claim to care so much about disabled people just, because they screech about people who get abortions because the fetus has Down syndrome, but don’t say a word when caregivers murder disabled people. They also want to cut benefits for disabled people (which are difficult enough to qualify for and are extremely punitive) and stand by while disabled people lose custody of their children, because of their disabilities.
Plus, their creepy fetus worshipping stance means they’d let me die if a wanted pregnancy goes very wrong (e.g. ectopic pregnancy, sepsis, preeclampsia). And they don’t acknowledge the hundreds of disabled people (especially disabled POC) who were sterilized against their will.
In short, they are hypocritical jerks who honestly don’t give a shit about disabled people.
This is so accurate!

This is pure comedy gold.
If the Romans Had Outgoing Voice Messages
Caesar: Hey it's Julius. I can't come to the phone right now, but if you leave your name and number I'll - Antony! What the HELL are you doing?? Don't touch that!
Antony: Yo, it's Antony. If you call back and I don't answer, it means I can't answer. Send a text. I might read it. If it can be said in text, then for the love of God, text.
Brutus: Hi! It's Brutus. Um, I'm really super sorry I couldn't get the phone, I swear I'll call you back as soon as I can. Um, if you wanna call my work phone it's xxxxxxxxxx. I'll respond, probably, I might be busy and I can't take personal calls unless it's an emergency but I can try - (BEEP)
Cassius: Hey if this is Octavian bothering me again I swear to God I will punch your fucking lights out. If this is anyone else call back later
Pompey: it's Pompey. Call back later.
Octavian: The person you have dialed is unable to receive your call. Please call back later or leave a message after the tone.

Best game idea ever!
instead of going to jail, you get exiled to Scythia
passing Go represents the bribes you collect every election season
instead of owning property on city blocks, you own land in various provinces
Boardwalk and Park Place ==> Egypt and Syria
Baltic and Mediterranean ==> Britannia Prima and Britannia Secunda
instead of houses and hotels, villae and latifundia
instead of railroads, just roads
water works ==> bathhouse
electric company ==> amphitheater
free parking ==> forum
income tax ==> wealth tax
re-skinned Chance and Community Chest cards:
“You have been elected Aedile – pay each player 50 denarii”
“Get out of Exile Free”
“Saturnalia Fund Matures – Collect 100 denarii”
“Greek Theater Night – collect 50 denarii from every player for opening night seats”
“Land Tax Refund – collect 20 denarii”
“Receive 25 denarii in bribes”

Thank you for providing assistance to us non-tech savvy people.
I love how the search function on this site is absolute garbage. I can look up a post word for word and I will NEVER find it
