Janelle Monae - Q.U.E.E.N.

you could argue that he isn't even particularly misogynistic... he clearly very much loves & respects desdemona, far better than most other shakespearean tragic protagonists treat women, and his immediate condemnation of her seems to be more about fear of his own status being threatened and not fear of female sexuality. and of course the text itself has some racist undertones because shakespeare was writing in the 1600s, no matter how progressive he might have been, which should still be considered in his depiction of race. this play is literally about the paranoia and constant insecurity that comes with being an outsider in an all-white society that drives you to commit the unspeakable and people have the nerve to say othello was gullible or impulsive or stupid. mr othello get the FUCK behind me i will literally defend you with my dying breath.

on a completely unrelated note, did you guys know that julius caesar assumed dictatorship for life about a month before the ides of march? fun fact about the roman republic government system, ‘dictator’ was a temporary position. and the dictator was nominated by a consul (often at the request of the senate), then confirmed by a vote of the comitia curiata. most dictators were appointed for 6mo-1 year, bc they were often appointed to resolve a specific situation. enough out of me, the point is that it was a temporary and elected position. and when someone tried to have that position be for life, well, sic semper tyrannis

spotted in virginia right outside of dc—happy ides of march, y'all!
