*plays assassins creed to study for my ap history exam*
This is actually really funny. In high school my humanities teacher told us a story about one of the Europe trips he had gone on with the school a few summers past. So him and the group of kids were in the middle of Rome and the tour guide had gotten lost. They could figure out how to get to some church they were going to see. All of a sudden one of the students like call attention to himself. He says he knows where to go and just start walking around the streets, taking back roads and side streets and within 20 mins they’re at the church they needed to get to. My teacher asks the kid if he has every been to Italy before. He says no, he just knew where to go because he played Assassins Creed Brotherhood.
Aimed at people who don’t know where wool comes from, it’s 100% plastic. Yes, plastic.
So any garment you wash will release microfibres into the sea. It’ll never decompose.
You’re supposed to believe that sheep shearing is violent and cruel. There are imbeciles out there that work in an unprofessional manner while shearing, but that’s not the case overall.
Sheep don’t suffer from having their fleece removed.
Left on, the fleece can become a home for fly eggs and the subsequent maggots which can eat the sheep. Chemical treatments are available to prevent that happening. It’s much better for the sheep, the land and the farmer to avoid chemical use.
Don’t be fooled. Wool is a sustainable material, one we should make more and better use of.
between wally’s death and the undercover mission, artemis was in a really dark place post-s2 and was literally just not taking care of herself. eventually some of the others (dick, ollie, will, maybe jade? idk i’m just coming up w this on the spot) had a lil intervention and convinced her to move in with one of them. will had the space and could use a hand around the house, so it made sense.
being around lian especially was, like, AMAZING for artemis’s mental health. it still is.
if they’re sitting on the same couch and artemis wants to stretch her legs out she WILL put her gross feet on his lap. sorry, will
they have a swear jar. artemis is the main contributor : /
will makes the coffee every morning because for some reason his is always just better than hers. she can follow the exact steps perfectly with him even watching over her shoulder and it still tastes like shit. it pisses her off!!!
she makes fun of his uniform, like. daily. sorry pal
artemis still kind of sees herself as a guest even if will insists she’s not
once a week they take lian and brucely to the park down the street and it’s just. cute as fucking hell
after he changed his name she never once slipped up and called him roy. after all, she knows aaaaaall about identity issues and wanting to establish yourself as your own person.
did you know that in 1953 eisenhower issued an executive order which banned gay people from being employed in government
and it was specifically to root out lesbians who enjoyed the job security of government work
“To protect their careers, lesbian government workers moderated their behavior to avoid suspicion. They refused to socialize with other lesbians in public, attended social functions with gay men as their ‘dates,’ and carefully chose their wardrobes and makeup to project a feminine persona. Male employees who resented reporting to a female boss could trigger an investigation into her sexuality.” - Robert J Corber “Cold War Femme”
this era was called the lavender scare and was both a direct result of mccarthyism and the classification of homosexuality as a mental illness during ww2. over 10,000 lesbians and gay men lost their jobs and as a result the daughters of bilitis (the first ever lesbian activist group in the u.s.) formed in order to protect themselves and gay men
