    Oh, so now we’re just calling everyone who wants to eradicate trans people, supports demanding paperwork for the race of people they hate, desires limiting the role of women to “brood mare” & “bang-maid”, craves subservience to a strongman-type leader, struts around saying that we should invade our neighbors, preaches about a mythical past that they want to return to, and won’t condemn a leader of theirs doing Nazi salutes on stage a Nazi?

    So much for the tolerant left.

    Her dad, Polonius, is hiding behind a curtain to spy on Hamlet for the king, because Hamlet is pretending (?) to be crazy to make himself seem like less of a threat.

    While Hamlet is yelling at his mom for marrying the king (who also killed Hamlet’s dad— the old king), he hears Polonius behind the curtain and stabs him to death. Afterwards he realizes that he killed his girlfriend’s dad.

    It’s a great play, I highly recommend reading a synopsis and then watching it.






  • Augury was a Greco-Roman religious practice of observing the behavior of birds, to receive omens. When the individual, known as the augur, read these signs, it was referred to as “taking the auspices”. “Auspices” (Latin: auspicium) means “looking at birds”. Auspex, another word for augur, can be translated to “one who looks at birds”. Depending upon the birds, the auspices from the gods could be favorable or unfavorable (auspicious or inauspicious). Sometimes politically motivated augurs would fabricate unfavorable auspices in order to delay certain state functions, such as elections. Pliny the Elder attributes the invention of auspicy to Tiresias the seer of Thebes.
