He apparently was looking into ending ancient rome’s reliance on chattel slavery via gradual emancipation, and he opposed the death penalty.
just a casual mention for this day of march 15 that julius casar was killed because his actions threatened the aristocracy. in fact most of the working classes liked having caesar lead because he worked against rome being a shithole and he made mostly successful efforts to end unemployment. also in his will he left stuff to the people? idk about that last part feel free to fact check it
tldr; it was the aristocracy that had an issue with caesar and the main reason the senate killed him was because they were afraid his power would result in a more even distribution of their wealth

The Romans When They're Drunk
Caesar: He doesn't get drunk, and no one encourages him to. They don't know what he's like drunk, and they don't want to know
Antony: Is a really happy drunk. Cuddles with everyone and impulsively buys all kinds of nonsense. When he wakes up in the morning he's surrounded by his drunk purchases but has no idea who drained his bank account.
Brutus: Sobs hysterically, an absolute wreck. Tells you his whole life story and you'll find him throwing up in the bathroom later, Cassius holding his hair back while he has to listen to him cry about his past for the millionth time.
Octavian: Starts giving speeches to everyone while standing on the table. He thinks they're motivational, but they're complete gibberish.
Cassius: A bold, angry drunk. Will fight anyone and can make literally anything into a weapon.
Pompey: Calls everybody beautiful and suddenly is under the impression that he can sing and dance.
Because Gods forbid a feminine woman is an accomplished leader.
I’m just gonna leave this here

So yeah, boycotting them for the foreseeable future.
This is very accurate.
assuming bi youth only experience marginalization and oppression when they’re in same gender relationships makes as much sense as assuming that gay people only experience marginalization and oppression when they’re in a relationship
it doesn’t
So true.
“Incredible,” Justin thought. “They punish their women for what sounds like male weakness to me.”
In which Richelle Mead writes a complex male character who sleeps around without being a sexist asshole.
Adrian Ivashkov: Wait! So you’re that Antony guy I read about in history class. Let’s party together!
Mark Antony: As long as this party includes gallons of wine, I’m in.
Sydney Sage: Damn it, Adrian!
Cleopatra: Just hide their car keys, and then they’ll have to call us to rescue them.
Sydney Sage: Good point.
Atton Rand does have a knack for getting into trouble.
Because Sydney is a badass secret agent.
Marcus: So you're telling me that you broke into Alchemist headquarters to steal information, and you didn't get caught?
