Workers of the world! On this day remember the brave revolutionaries of Kronstadt who rose up against those who would oppress them and died martyrs for the cause of liberty. All drink to their valiant memory! ваше здоровье!

Woman and Cats. 1969. wam.org/our-collecti...
Stylized painting of a light skinned woman with dark hair wearing an orange robe or kaftan type garment, reclining on a curved white surface against a grey background. There are few details in the painting, everything is composed of very bold shapes and colors that communicate movement, form, and mood rather than minutiae. In her hands the woman is picking up a shorthaired black cat while another one is curled up against her leg. The woman's expression is relaxed and blissful.

It’s 10:30pm on a Monday, and I’m eating ice cream & reading the Malleus Maleficarum (1486) in bed, b/c of course

Anyway, did you know that witches can “truly and actually” remove dicks and not just make them seem to disappear?

“Your body my—“

Poof! No dick. Medieval answers to medieval problems
A passage from the Malleus Maleficarum, a 15th century guide to hunting witches. “Question 10: Whether witches may work some Prestidigitory Illusion so that the Male Organ appears to be entirely removed from the body. Here is declared the truth about diabolic operations with regard to the male organ. And to make plain the facts in this matter, it is asked whether witches can with the help of devils really and actually remove the member, or whether they only do so apparently by some glamour or illusion. And that they can actually do so is argued a fortiori; for since devils can do greater things than this, as killing them or carrying them from place to place—as was shown above in the cases of Job and Tobias—therefore they can also truly and actually remove men’s members.”
