Columbus apologists saying "judge him by the standards of his time." Ok, lets do that. Of all people on earth, Isabella of Castille was so horrified by his behavior that she had him dragged back to Spain in shackles and stripped of all titles and assets.

- Replying to @REirikrI'm autistic so to be clear this isn't me praising Isabella, she was an absolutely horrible person. I'm just pointing out that one of the most genocidal villains in European history considered Columbus monstrous enough to strip him of all his wealth and prestige.
- Replying to @REirikrUmmm.... Is this one doing numbers? Weird. I promise I'm not especially interesting.

- Replying to @SwiluaSome of the stuff I've read up on it (wife also has PCOS) suggests that cis men can have it too, because it's not necessarily specifically to do with ovaries, but more of a whole endocrine system disorder, but we're basically JUST NOW starting to research the condition so 🤷♂️
- Replying to @gayswordfight and @HesbianHojoI haven't heard that bit, but it wouldn't surprise me. Especially since his journal entries read like "the locals are so friendly and hospitable..... suckers"
- Replying to @SwiluaMy most BYU story is the time the guy running the on campus movie theater said "We actually show a lot of movies from Iran here, we find their values are much more in line with ours"
GIF - Replying to @oldman_loganI remember the quote. "You are not special. You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else"
- Replying to @wizardsofautism"you're not making eye contact, so you must be guilty of something/lying" 😒
