if you ever feel bad about not being able to spell “shakespeare,” remember that shakespeare himself spelled his surname at least five different ways, none of which were “shakespeare”

Lol wait what? Really?

there are only six surviving documents with shakespeare’s signature on them (all of which are legal documents), and on them he spells his name:

  1. Shakp
  2. Shaksper

  3. Shakspe

  4. Shakspere (twice)

  5. Shakspeare

the modern spelling of his name became popular only in the late 1800s (x, x, x)

Achilles

roses are red

wine-dark is the sea

my boyfriend is dead

time for a killing spree

Oedipus

roses are red

a hue like no other

you know, valentine,

you’re just like my mother?

Catullus

my girl’s eyes are swollen

her sparrow is dead

but is that just a metaphor

for my dick instead?

roses are red

space is black like a void

who cares about love

Carthage must be destroyed

Poseidon

Roses are red

like bitter regret 

I’m god of the ocean 

let me make you wet 😉

Odysseus

My wife is at home

but babe, let’s forget her; 

I’ll show you a good time

‘cause Nobody’s better

Athena 

Roses are red

violets are red 

everything is red 

I love war

Apollo

Roses are red

but I haven’t got any

all of my lovers

have turned into botany

Prometheus

I’ve bought you some roses

‘cause babe, I’m a giver

say you’ll be mine

I’ll really de-liver

Zeus

Roses are red

violets are blue

shit, Hera’s coming – 

Julius Caesar

Roses are red, 

And so is my blood.

What the fuck Brutus?

I thought we were good! 

Pompey

Roses are red,

My pate’s on a plate.

Ptolemy got head

On our first date. 

Crassus

Gold is not red, 

It’s yellow like honey. 

Your house is on fire,

So give me your money. 

Porcia

Embers are red,

The hottest fire’s blue.

So you’d know I was true.

Entrails are red.

You can’t keep me in stitches.

I fucked your dad, too.

Violets are indigo,

Roses are crimson.

Silver my tongue is,

Like Fulvia’s hairpin.

Fuck you @staff

Honestly though. #tumblrstaffsowhite

@staff

@staff

@staff

@staff ? 👀👀👀

We all know @staff is anti black.

I feel like Black Tumblr has been begging the staff to do something for Black History month for way too long. Yet we continue to use the sight. Maybe we should all log out for 24 hours in protest. 

If we could all follow through with that, that’d be a great start.

I’m wondering if there are some members of black tumblr who have some website design skills. It’d be easy to just start a group on Facebook, but they’re no different. When white folks are at the helm, we can always expect some nonsense.

How about the day before the 1 year anniversary of Blackout day? Idk the exact date. But if we log out for that entire day they’ll feel our absence and then log back in the next day on Black Out Day and show them how strong our presence is!

March 6th is the anniversary. So the 5th it is. Now just need to get the word out.

#Blackoutlogout – March 5th.

If you’re not black but support #blacklivesmatter and #blackout – you’re asked to NOT log in tumblr on March 5th. Show solidarity. We aren’t asking you to raise a black glove fist, or hop in formation. Just give tumblr a break for 24 hrs. Your porn and stuff will be there.

Spread the Word.
