I love how much Lucullus can't stand Pompey, and also this

Pompey the Great: A Political Biography, Robin Seager

with something from this thrown in for extra flavor

Crassus and Pompey, on the other hand, ridiculed Lucullus for giving himself up to pleasure and extravagance, as if a luxurious life were not even more unsuitable to men of his years than political and military activities.

Plutarch, Lucullus

Who has the bigger dumbass energy (as in they’re not dumb but they are a dumbass)

Propaganda under the cut

Kutner: terrible at the cover story. Keeps blowing himself up to help patients. Bets on everything. Overall chaos energy.

Chase: his password was password. Masters canonically calls him a dumb whore. Is brilliant but also gives off vibes like he’s not quite sure what’s going on half the time.

how was john ashley related to elizabeth? she called him kinsman but afaik they weren't blood relations? something like james boleyn's wife's relative? also, is he the john ashley asked about margaret douglas in july 1536? i found it interesting they waited for "lady boleyn" to leave. i'm guessing that's james's wife? bc anne didn't like her as i understand (idk why?) but not enough she wasn't allowed at court and let her be close to anne's crowd if not in it. i just find it interesting she didn't like anne and spied on her but elizabeth took her relatives as her own when she didn't need to

"From its inception, Elizabeth's household employed many of the princess' maternal kin. The first to serve as steward was Sir John Shelton; his wife Lady Anne—the paternal aunt of Anne Boleyn—was also employed in the household as the chief gentlewoman of the Privy Chamber. Elizabeth's first governess, Margaret Bryan, was distantly related to the Boleyns (being the half-sister of Anne Boleyn's mother). John Ashley, a Boleyn relative by the marriage of an aunt, joined the household sometime before 1540. Weak as these blood ties might seem to the modern reader, they weighed seriously with Elizabeth herself; for example, when John Ashley was arrested during the Seymour crisis of 1549, the princess interceded on his behalf, asking that he be released "for he is my kinsman"—even though his relation to her consisted of nothing more substantial than the marriage of his maternal aunt to the brother of Elizabeth's maternal grandfather [...]"

"Astley was also referred to as Ashley. John Astley's mother was Anne Wood, whose sister, Elizabeth, married James Boleyn. This made James [by blood] and Elizabeth [by marriage] the aunt and uncle of Anne Boleyn."

"But Anne could not just choose friends and allies as her ‘ladies of presence’, because Henry allowed several career courtiers to transfer from Katherine’s service. Lady Elizabeth Boleyn, Sir James’s wife, had always gravitated towards Katherine, as did Lady Mary Kingston, the Constable of the Tower’s wife, and Margaret Coffyn, the wife of Anne’s Master of the Horse. Lady Jane Calthorpe, although also linked by kinship ties to Anne, had done a five-year stint as Princess Mary’s governess. Jane Ashley, one of Katherine’s maids, served Anne and Jane Seymour before marrying Sir Peter Mewtas. Another, Margery Horsman, whom Holbein represents as slim and demure, stayed at court until 1537, when Sir Michael Lyster took her as his second wife."

tiktok being banned is giving similar vibes to when you were like 14 and you had a friend whose mom checked their search history but somehow she didn’t realize he was just searching all the weird shit on his playstation

RAGHHH BORROWERS!! Look at them

Info + extra thingies under cut

BORROWER INFO HAUAHEH

They average around 3 inches tall

Evolved from small shrew like mammals in the late Jurassic/early Cretaceous [meaning they’re much older than humans!!]

They’re not really nocturnal or diurnal, it kinda depends on where they live

Mostly omnivores in human houses, but the ones that live in the wild are mostly insectivores

They pack quite a punch despite being small, some are able to take down animals 3-4 times their size, particularly birds

They have a thin layer of fur covering their body, and hair on their heads and tails, and the thickness and texture is varied, similar to humans [straight to 4c hair, plus things like locs, cornrows and such]

Can squeeze into very tight and small spaces, like a cat

Live in colonies, and usually get together in polyamorous relationships

Also some extra colors of them [plus an albino borrower]

the library really needs to get more than one copy of this book. b/c I am beginning to suspect the only copy they have has been lost/someone isn't returning it. I've been on the waiting list since the beginning of the month. and there's only 2 of us on this list.

which means SOMEONE has checked it out and not returned it
