My favourite historical person is Callipateira, an Ancient Greek woman who dared to break the law and attend the Olympic Games. Women were not allowed to compete in the games and only unmarried women could attend. She disguises herself in order to see her son. She cut her hair and wore men's clothes and since her body was muscular she was mistaken for one. Pausanias wrote: "She, being a widow, disguised herself exactly like a gymnastic trainer, and brought her son to compete at Olympia. (Cont)

(Part 2) Peisirodus, for so her son was called, was victorious, and Callipateira, as she was jumping over the enclosure in which they keep the trainers shut up, bared her person. So her sex was discovered, but they let her go unpunished out of respect for her father, her brothers and her son, all of whom had been victorious at Olympia. But a law was passed that for the future trainers should strip before entering the arena.“ (Pausanias 5.6.8ff.

I actually learnt about her in school, she’s really cool!

Ah, that’s such a cool story! She was a total badass and no wonder she’s your fav.

Okay, I'll try to keep this brief, because I'll get mad if I don't.

The Baker Street Irregulars are a group of crusty homopobic, misogynistic, (predominantly) male assholes who are like the equivalent of those fandom people who try to police everything to be just the way they like it. They act like they are in charge of all things Sherlock Holmes, and anyone who has opinions that go against theirs (most typically, that Holmes and Watson weren't straight/were lovers/anything that doesn't involve Holmes being an Adler loving sexist dude bro.) are delusional, childish, obviously female, idiots. 

I've had to deal with a few of them in the outernet, and the only reason they didn't get socked in the jaw is because I'm a gentleman and a lady, and it is not in good form to punch an elderly man.

Oh, could you please tell me which plays? Maybe link me? Thanks xxx

The Bert Coules radio plays. If you want a link, you'll have to send me a private ask.

Wow??? Where? How? I'm so happy for you xd

Four of us are driving to Pittsburgh (about 5 hours South of Toronto, in Pensylvania, USA) to see the new Welcome to Night Vale live show in May. We're going to have to book it down there on the Friday but then we have the whole weekend after the show to drive wherever we want before we have to be back home Monday night.

I basically said 'hey guys do you want to drive to the nearest Night Vale show since they announced a new tour' and they said yes and then we got planning and somehow decided to skip the nearest one (2 hours away in Buffalo) and go to Pittsburgh.

I'm buying tickets today!!!!!!!
