Women's hairstyle popular during the Augustan era as evidenced by these portraits of Livia, Octavia the Younger and Julia the Elder.

Given the unpopularity of the Julio-Claudians after Augustus and the relative newness of the principate, why weren't ambitious senators able to seize back control and return to a more republican government?

Hmm, I've seen a few posts talking about the rat part of the rat grinders logo but I'm thinking about the gears. Do we think they're working for/with GRIX?

Principal Danvers

The heavy oak door creaks as Andrea pushes it open to reveal a dimly lit office. It smells like old books and wood polish, the large wooden door glistening in the lamplight as Andrea stares at the imposing figure settled behind it. She sucks in a deep breath and allows herself an extra moment to slip into the character she has been desperate to play; the naughty schoolgirl summoned here to be disciplined for her latest prank.

Principal Danvers is not one to let naughty behavior go unpunished and, as blue eyes glare in her direction, Andrea struggles to believe that this is still her golden retriever girlfriend.

“Come in and close the door, girl,” Kara stands from behind the desk, her tall, muscular frame casting an intimidating shadow across the office. Her hair is pulled back into a bun almost as severe as her gaze, her piercing blue eyes focusing on Andrea with such an intensity that she can’t stop the shiver that trickles down her spine.

The thought of being at her mercy, even as the well tailored suit hides Kara’s defined arms, leaves her drenched with excitement.

“No, no,” Kara tsks as Andrea pulls out the chair opposite, “I don’t believe I asked you to sit down.”

Andrea blushes and swallows thickly, her hands trembling as she pushes the chair back into place. She clasps them together in front of her waist, attempting to be demure as the faux headmistress stares her down.

“I assume you know why you are here, Miss Rojas.”

“Yes, Ma’am,” Andrea croaks, her tongue threatening to stick to the roof of her suddenly dry mouth. “I was caught sneaking out of the dormitory last night after lights out.”

“Do you understand how much trouble you have caused?” Kara asks, her voice deep and raspy as she walks around the desk to close the gap between them. “It is my duty to ensure you are safe whilst in my care, and it is I who would have been held responsible if something had happened to you.”

Her lips curl into a cruel smirk, “which means it is also I who must decide the repercussions for such foolish behavior.”

I'll never come to terms with the casting of The Dressmaker (2015).

It's a great movie.

Kate Winslet is great in it as Tilly.

Liam Hemsworth is great in it as Teddy.

But how could the casting director/whoever is responsible for this think that anyone would believe that Kate Winslet's (who just turned 39 when filming started) and Liam Hemsworth's (who turned 25 a few weeks after filming wrapped) characters are the same age is beyond me.

So I think I'm finally getting a contract and I'm going to start my new studies (as a youth/school counselor) in my old school. I met the principal today and had a talk with him, and he said he was pleased to see me there and would like to have me there because I already know my way around and seemed to manage things just fine when I was still their student. So, that's great, I'm finally getting somewhere.

But I'll have to wait until Friday because he's still not quite sure who's going to be my supervisor, so he's going to have a talk with a couple of staff members about it at first.

And then my teacher in my new school is already pressing me with contract matters and stuff, wanting me to start earlier than I had originally planned or at least get the contract done by then, so uhh. I'm going to have a Teams meeting with her on Friday at 8 o'clock in the morning (I'm not a morning person at all), and I'm sure we're going to have such a lovely discussion about my schedule and study plans and all that stuff.

All this phone-calling and paperwork is giving me a headache. And I still have some school assignments to do and to return before next week, and guess what - ya girl just wants to read and write fanfiction all day and all night. 🤪 Priorities, I has them.
