Honestly, given sailors’ humor, I would surprised if there wasn’t a cat named Titties out there in world history

I can’t believe England exists in real life.

Big if true

What a stupid fucking timeline this is

And what a stupid fucking country

That’s an utterly fucking bizarre position considering that women in the workplace far predate women’s rights.

Hard-fought victories eroded one at a time, and then all at once.

Fuck.

I’ll campaign for her as hard as I did for Bernie - and I was whole of body when I first campaigned for Bernie. I’ll break what remains of this body if it means increasing her chances of victory incrementally.

But we’ll have to survive 'til then. That’s not guaranteed, unfortunately.

This the same Jacobin mag that simps for Russian imperialism over Ukraine?

The Black Panthers weren’t even formed until the greatest victories of the Civil Rights Movement had already been won, and for all of Malcolm X’s rhetoric before leaving the Nation of Islam, the threat of violence from Black Nationalists was not a core factor to the victories of the Civil Rights Movement.

MLK Jr. spent nearly a decade and a half building organizations and connections for nationwide resistance.

Later invention, I’m afraid! German-American cartoonist Thomas Nast is often credited with the modern design of Santa Claus during the US Civil War, of all times.

That being said, many of the traditions of Christmas are linked to Saturnalia.

Explanation: Saturnalia was an ancient Roman festival of merrymaking, where the social order was turned ‘upside-down’ in celebration of the liberty granted by Saturn. People exchanged small gifts, dressed in outlandish outfits, played holiday games, and drank and feasted to excess.

Emperor Julian was the last pagan Emperor of Rome, who attempted to enforce tolerance for all faiths in the Empire - something which the Christians, who had enjoyed ~50 years as an empowered minority with Christian Emperors persecuting their enemies, the pagan majority of the Empire, regarded as a great offense.

People remember names more than opinions. It wouldn’t surprise me if this was still a net gain for the company.
