Amongst other silliness, it claims that King John's titles included Duke of Hazzard, and observes that "peasants were reduced to eating burage and socage." It also invents a fictitious war against Flanders Fland (a region on the coast of Luxembourg) and cites such scholarly tomes as Bollock and Maidenhead's classic Interminable History of the English Law.
Note that it includes the phrase "Discipulus tuus hunc tractatum non scripsit."

With the holidays right around the corner we thought it would be fun to make some snowflakes. In our hunt we came across some Star Wars snowflakes created by a husband and wife.
After making a few of these we began thinking about improving the design. The first idea we had was to impose the cutting stencil on the circle diagram to make it quicker to cut out. After that, we created a few designs of our own.
There are templates here. They even have R2-D2.
The majority of sexist behavior is not rooted in some essential wickedness, although that would make sexism much easier to address. There are very few people who are sexist by explicit and informed intent; the majority of oppressive behavior comes from sexism, racism, and oppression simply being normalized.
Which is why people flip their fucking shit when you ask them to examine their own privilege, because what you’re doing is shaking the very foundations of their reality. The nature of privilege is that you don’t notice it until someone takes it away from you.
Men (the vast majority of white men in the united states, that is) have the privilege of walking down the street without being hunted for sport. So it’s impossible for them to understand why you can’t manage the same.
The horrible truth is that oppression is what’s normal. Getting the privileged to recognize and address this is extremely difficult because it doesn’t fit into the Just World Hypothesis which we’ve all been taught throughout grade school and which many, many people never have to think about or adjust. In a Just World, you would have to do something bad in order to have something bad happen to you. It’s logical, it’s just very shallow logic.
That’s why addressing sexism, racism and homophobia (and transphobia and so on) is so incredibly hard, particularly when you’re talking to the ubiquitous White Heterosexual Cisgendered Man.
