    Ah, yes. Someone with the punctuation, grammar and vocabulary of pre-teen claiming to have a degree in literature. 🙄

    How you can tell someone doesn’t have a degree in the humanities, or doesn’t understand their degree:

    They think anything above “Aliens built the Pyramids” or “All human languages are secretly Turkic” or “The Roman Empire didn’t exist” can be dismissed with an “end of story”. Historians can’t even agree on dates. Lit majors are even worse - and someone who supposedly has a degree in Classical Literature thinks that the interpretation of Sappho as sapphic (dohohoho), a mainstream position since at least the Roman Empire, should know better than to dismiss the position as ‘actually insane’. Not least because it is still the mainstream position and has only become reinforced with recent scholarship.

    Someone might be lying on the internet :o

    Oh, the joy of running across another dingus trying to un-queer historical figures. Big swing trying to do it to Sappho, though.

    As someone who has two degrees in classic lit from the same university as the person pictured, Sappho was lesbian. End of story. Hope this helps.

    Hi, as someone who just had a massive dump I have no idea what this is about. End of story. Hope this helps.

    I took a class on English literature where the lady professor said she didn’t quite believe the Goblin Market had sapphic imagery because they were “sisters.”

    If you want to read the horniest piece of “children’s” poetry in the world that ends with one of the gayest quotes in literature, read the Goblin Market.
