While castration was a weirdly common thing in some Alexandrian philosophical and christianish groups in the 2nd-3rd c, the claim—a century later—that origen did this, given his whole outlook on scripture, is too dubious to really believe
I love Marinos/Smaragdus/Athanasius/Joan of Arc/Hilarion/Juana Inés de la Cruz as much as the next weird trans christian, but please, give me just one monk who made themselves a woman of ill reputation and wept outside their former monastery or something!
Yeah. I think we need to get more old school and more woke at the same time. Like, we should do more representation and doing it well requires actually reading a book about history and culture at some point.
Oh if it's a murder mystery and the guests are supposed to do/bring something (like costumes), definitely make a little invite digitally and then you can text it out. Not like a formal e-vite from a site that tracks RSVPs and stuff. Just sending a pic in a text
Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?
