To this day, the quote I read in a survivors biography in 7th grade still haunts me. “Who does now remember the Armenians?”
You know who said that? Hitler. Adolf Hitler, as a way to justify the Holocaust. Because the world turned a blind eye to the Armenian genocide, he thought the world would turn its back to the Holocaust.
The worst part is, he was right. America, Europe, the governments knew what was going on. And they ignored it. Now, more than ever, remember the Armenians. Remember the Cambodians, Rwandans, Jews. Never again means now.
This is true btw. I did a report about Ann Boney in school and Read actually liked her back so they ran away together and were considered the two most terrifying pirates across the seven seas
Lesbian Pirates
Give us this film
Just fyi - many of the illustrations and statues of them show them with their breasts exposed. This is not because they are sexualising lesbians but because these women often used to open their shirts and expose a breast when they killed a man just so the man’s dying thought would be the realisation that he was killed by a woman.
OKAY SO Ann Bonny was disgused on Calico Jack’s ship. They were both lovers, but when Ann Bonny found out that Mary Read (who was also on the ship) was a girl they began to spend a lot of time together. Calico Jack wasn’t happy that Ann Bonny was spending so much time with this guy and threatened to kill Mary Read. When Ann Bonny told Calico Jack that Mary Read was a girl he was all like “hmm k that’s cool.” Anywho, Ive read in different articles and books (I need to find where) that the three of them began to spend a lot of time TOGETHER so it’s safe to say that the three were in a relationship.
In the end tho they were caught (all the men were drunk as shit and surrendered) but Ann Bonny and Mary Read held their own against a whole ship of men who tried to capture them. They managed to kill several men before ultimately being captured. Ann Bonny told Calico Jack before he was hung that “If you had fought like a man, you need not have been hang’d like a dog.”
Mary Read and Ann Bonny weren’t hung because they “pleaded their bellies” which ment that they were both pregnant. Mary Read died in prison, however, there is no record of what happened to Ann Bonny. Many believe that she too died but others think that her rich father paid off some dudes and she spent the rest of her life in Cuba.
Context: I DM for my two siblings. Before our last session, my sister, our wizard, purchased a bundle of bananas. Later they had an encounter with an owlbear and she pulls this shit.
Wizard: Wait! I want to tame the owlbear.
Me: Okay…? How?
Wizard: I want to give it a banana.
Me: ….Roll…animal handling?
Wizard: *rolls a natural 20* It’s my baby now.
Me: *sighs* Yeah, okay. You toss this carnivorous owlbear a fucking banana, and for some reason it loves it. Congrats on your new pet.
