a picture of a book text. The text says "Suetonius adds that, according to some reports, he said in Greek 'Kai su, teknon' (which Shakespeare turned into the Latin 'Et tu, Brute'. It literally means 'You too, child', but what Caesar may have intended by the words isnt clear. Tempest cites 'an important article' by James Russell (1980) 'that has often been overlooked'. Russel points out that the words kai su often appear on curse tablets, and suggest that Caesar's putative last words were not 'the emotional parting declaration of a betrayed man to one he had treated like a son' but more along the lines of 'See you in hell, punk'.

Once again loving this interpretation of Caesar’s last words

One of the simplest radically rebellious things you can do β€” you, right now! β€” is wear a mask in public. Show people you think they’re worth protecting. Show people you’re willing to resist the social pressure to pretend things are normal. It’s good hygiene and good practice for other resisting.

There Is So Much to Learn from Historical Romance Novels On the often subversive history to be learned in romance novels.

Historical romance subverts the dominant narratives of history that have been largely controlled by white men.
