Fam…let me tell you bout Poland.

Let me tell you about how the entire rest of Europe sat ack and watched the invasion of Poland because they thought it would be “improper” to send military aid. How they were unwilling to enforce the treaties that Germany was breaking, because that would make them “just as bad.” They sat back and wrote strongly worded letters while fascists grew in power because they didn’t want to dirty their hands. They thought reasonable discussion and politics would be enough to stop a fascist dictator from rising to power.

like yes, people literally did try that argument then too. 

Everywhere there’s fascists there are fascist apologists hiding under the guise of pacifism, ready to enable their shit and demonize resistance.

Any story which refers to Haiti as an impoverished nation, which is all of them, should also mention that when Haitians won their independence from France, French gunships showed up and demanded they pay something like 22 billion dollars in today's money to compensate France for the stolen land and enslaved people they could no longer exploit

It took Haiti over a hundred years to pay that ransom and it's difficult to explain just how badly that fucked up their entire development, especially since France also demanded a 50% discount on everything they bought from Haiti just to make it harder. Like! No wonder they're impoverished!

Anyway if France would like to assist Haiti in its current difficulties they could always pay back the fucking money they extorted

The only woman to ever win a Field's medal (the equivalent to a Nobel prize in mathematics) was Maryam Mirzakhani. This is how she chose to look, after leaving Iran:

In spite of the fact that she never wore a veil from the day she left Iran until she died (of cancer, only 40 years old), media and professional institutes often use this picture of her, to show how "inclusive" they are:

At the annual Houston RenFest we’d always get one or two furries that walk around and every time the general reaction from the medieval roleplayers is akin to  “BEASTS? BEASTS THAT WALK LIKE MAN? FOUL!” 

Last time I went a furry volunteered for an impromptu conversion/exorcism and a guy dressed as a monk gathered a bunch of people and using a Gatorade bottle performed an entire catholic christening while reading off the instructions on his Ipad. When the furry was fully “converted” he removed the head of his costume and everyone in the crowd pretended to freak out and say shit like “GlORY BE HE IS SAVED” “CHRIST HAS BROKEN HIS CURSE”

That’s the best crap i’ve heard in months

Lucy Lawless

Lucy flawless

The transwoman they had on the show was also an AIDS activist, and had AIDS herself… *and* in a time when there was MUCH greater social stigma around the disease. Lucy had her on, and kissed her on screen…during a time when people were still afraid of getting AIDS from kissing or from toilet seats.

They also had Alexis Arquette as a character on the show in a later season.

I love all the reblog facts!!!

The episode is 2x11, “Here She Comes Miss Amphipolis,” and the actress was Karen Dior.

Also, they made exactly TWO jokes out of it– her name was “Miss Artiphys”, and when she’s crowned the winner, the emcee says “You are something else”, to which she responds in a deeper voice “You have no idea.”

Other than that, she’s…. a character in the episode. When she’s revealed to Xena, it’s like “Oh, I thought you were the villain, but if THAT’s all you’re hiding, never mind…”

Any other show pulling the same schtick at that time would have a man in the part, and it would have been a series of jokes, up to and including cracks on her appearance.
