ROMAN HISTORIANS: And then we had YET ANOTHER batshit idiot monster manchild for an Emperor and every day was a living nightmare

LATER HISTORIANS: Clearly an exaggeration. Bear in mind this was written by his enemies.

Short post today, sorry. And you don't get art, you get a beautiful photo I took of a rainbow this afternoon when we went for a walk:

Lovely pic! And the Roman reference made me snort. We never want to believe anyone about how bad something can be, even if it was 2000 years ago.

Thank you. :)

And to turn the thought on its head... We like to think that all the barbarians are in the past.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry...


Oh, that rainbow! <3 <3

Laugh. Black humour at its finest.

Oh, that rainbow! <3 <3
It was worth getting wet & muddy for. :)

I saw Owen Jones speak a few months ago - he was brilliant.

[elisi]

Oh, I'm jealous. He just seems such a sensible, grounded guy, who is always willing to speak up and stand up.
