Actual roman epitaph for a dog
humans are the same
I’ve seen this one doing the rounds a few times (and it makes me cry every time I see it), but was curious about the original Latin text, so I did some digging: it’s a shortened version of CIL 10, 00659, a tombstone from Salernum (modern Salerno, Italy). (source; CIL is the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum).
Portaui lacrimis madidus te, nostra catella,
Quod feci lustris laetior ante tribus.
Ergo mihi, Patrice, iam non dabis oscula mille
Nec poteris collo grata cubare meo.
Tristis marmorea posui te sede merentem
Et iunxi semper manib(us) ipse meis
Morib(us) argutis hominem simulare paratam,
Perdidimus quales hei mihi delicias.
Tu, dulcis Patrice, nostras attingere mensas
Consueras, gremio poscere blanda cibos,
Lambere tu calicem lingua rapiente solebas,
Quem tibi saepe meae sustinuere manus,
Accipere et lassum cauda gaudente frequenter
And here’s my translation:
Wet with tears I have carried you, our little (female) dog, just as I did in happier times fifteen years earlier (lit. “three periods of five years). For myself, Patrice, now you will not give me a thousand kisses nor will you be able to lie lovingly around/against my neck. I have sorrowfully placed you, merit-worthy, in a marble tomb and I have joined you always to myself in death, as by your cleverness you matched a human. Alas, we lost such pleasures for myself! You, sweet Patrice, were accustomed to join us at our table, to beg charmingly for food (while sitting in our) laps. You were in the habit of greedily licking our cups with your tongue, which my hands often held for you. Frequently and joyfully (you) receive a weary one with your (wagging) tail...
tl;dr: this dog was named Patrice and was very, very loved. (another translation with some glossing of the text.)
STOP MAKING ME CRY ON PUBLIC TRANSIT DAMMIT
There are more Roman epitaphs with wording like this, showing each time how much those dogs were loved.
And yet...
And yet I wonder how often, during those dogs' lives, their humans went to the Games to be entertained by watching things happen to other animals and humans that they would never dream of doing to their pets.
Humans are a bundle of contradictions.

these relationships are always increasing numbers as well. so obviously we need six eleven to mean somethimg
imagine if that's the date it finally happens
have I mentioned on here before that as a child I thought that "dyke" meant "badass" because I was trying to use context clues based on who I heard my parents friends call dykes
the way I learned that it was actually a word people use for lesbians, and many people find it offensive, was when my teacher was wearing a leather jacket that I thought looked really cool, and you'll never guess what I said.
and this is why homophobia needs to die in a fire.
I mean I'm also opposed to homophobia but I'm not sure why me misunderstanding the meaning of a slur when I was 10 is a reason homophobia is bad.
I'm pretty sure your parents were homophobic.
yeah my moms are homophobic AF 💯💯💯
as in plural?
come on
A S I N P L U R A L ?
are you fucking with me
Thinking...
my brother is supposed to be packing for a trip tomorrow. i went into his room and he has the wikipedia page for suitcase open
Do they have a wikipedia page for suitcase closed?
Happy pride month to him
do you ever just get the urge to post in a way that immediately makes you realize how badly you need a journal
Whenever I hear someone say "the woke mob" I have to stop myself from laughing because even today all I can think of is this fucking tweet
Happy Pride to the Woke Mob
you're telling me this guy's a bouncer? huh... and what does he bounce on, if you don't mind me asking...?
they call me an undercover agent. the way i’m. under the covers :) cozy in bed :)
they call me a sleeper agent the way i. well. i shan’t say.
Something beautiful is happening.
Imagine being the gays at a pride event in 2004 living their lives when someone grabs the microphone and announces to the room that Ronald Reagan was pronounced dead. Can you even imagine the hype, the celebration, the pure elation
This is the Pride Month that It will happen. I feel it in my gay bones
directly inspired by @cataclysmcrows because I say "it is pride month fullmetal. You know what that means" every day. EVERY DAY. Also happy pride. Also happy inaugural post on this sideblog
