Also apologies to Max Blackrabbit, who is most definitely not deceased, contrary to what I said in tonight's panel — I meant William Blackfox!

It's one of the most interesting differences between Romans (and Greeks) and us — gender performance is far more significant for them than biological sex, and penetrative acts are defining features of gender performance.

That article is like the history version of "But baby, I have to cum or I'll get blueballs and it's really painful and I might die."

It's waaay more complicated than those three points, but that is a roughly accurate overview of some key points

For those interested: 1) This is true only in the sense that nothing meant you were "gay" — Romans didn't have that category or concept 2) Being penetrated in any orifice was a marker of effeminacy in Rome 3) Oral sex was generally seen as the most degrading form of being penetrated

They ranged broadly, but they were professional athletes who trained and maintained athlete diets, so their bodies matched that generally

Rock art of an ancient tiger furry... (central India, up to ~10,000 BP). Additional evidence that, as soon as humans gained the ability to be creative, they invented furries.

New summer-themed piece! ‘Huckabuck’/frozen cup ladies were pretty common in New Orleans for years and they aren’t as common anymore so why not draw a scene of one?

Lots of students despise the language requirement and put it off as long as possible (it's also an oddball requirement, because all you need to do is pass the 4th semester or above, so many resent the fact that some people get it done in 1 semester while they have to take 4).

I really am hoping we can make some headway on getting distribution permissions for a lot of these things, because I'd love for folks to be able to see and learn about them without jumping through the hoops and spending the time and money I've had to. And print media especially is near to my heart.
