“Lord Byron gets up at two. I get up, quite contrary to my usual custom … at 12. After breakfast we sit talking till six. From six to eight we gallop through the pine forest which divide Ravenna from the sea; we then come home and dine, and sit up gossiping till six in the morning. I don’t suppose this will kill me in a week or fortnight, but I shall not try it longer. Lord B.’s establishment consists, besides servants, of ten horses, eight enormous dogs, three monkeys, five cats, an eagle, a crow, and a falcon; and all these, except the horses, walk about the house, which every now and then resounds with their unarbitrated quarrels, as if they were the masters of it… . [P.S.] I find that my enumeration of the animals in this Circean Palace was defective … . I have just met on the grand staircase five peacocks, two guinea hens, and an Egyptian crane. I wonder who all these animals were before they were changed into these shapes.”

— Percy Bysshe Shelley on the lifestyle of Lord Byron (via timemarauder)

today I learned that in 2008, the city council of florence overturned dante’s sentence of execution if he returned from exile. yes, dante’s inferno dante, who died in 1321.

but the funniest part of this is not that they were debating the exile of a man who has been dead for over 500 years.

the funniest part is that the vote was 19-5. five people voted to uphold dante’s exile.

why should you go watch monkey man? well dev patel gets beat up continually for a solid hour before being brought back from the brink of death by a group of trans and non binary people who then help him kill and maim a bunch of politicians and cops. also there's one scene where he stabs a guy in the neck with a knife and then uses his teeth to slit his throat

The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.

Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

meanwhile mainstream media will go around calling Prajwal Revanna's disgusting behaviour a 'sex scandal' and releasing the videos online, he happily escaped to Germany. The whole thing reeks of political opportunism cause clearly everyone knew what was happening, but no one said anything until after election day in K'taka. He got a press gag order last year about these videos! Not one word about how to help the women he attacked and violated, not one word about how they can rebuild their lives.

they've "held back" the release of Monkey Man in India, but are happy to release all the propaganda movies like Article 370 and Sabarmati Express during elections in theatres and on netflix 😒

#feeling all this rage and anger and sadness fuck I hope they all just burn burn burn
