You know Lina, we heard those tales of the spear Danes doncha know, and their kings, well, they were different, and Sven he told me they performed pretty good you betcha.

Grant would get Botox injections to deal with his migraines and chew Nicorette.

Teddy would work out in an MMA gym and get that viking wolftail haircut.

He would drink the Monsters that are hangover-coded.

Will never get used to learning about friends' deaths via social media.

“Accepting the absurdity of everything around us is one step, a necessary experience: it should not become a dead end. It arouses a revolt that can become fruitful.”

Just a friendly reminder that your desire to have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder is valid.

Don’t allow anyone to disrespect you by telling you otherwise.

A crudely made sign stand of bundled bamboo held together with wire, upon which is mounted a roughly made sign of a single piece of wood, painted black, on which someone has crudely written BOOKS with an arrow pointing to the right, in a street somewhere.

When I know it's definitely a trap, but I'm going anyway.

Chat is this good

cognitive reframing:

I am putting ice cream in my coffee -> I am out of milk because I am disorganized -> negative affect

I am putting ice cream in my coffee -> I am making affogato, a sophisticated italian dessert -> positive affect

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

I'm sure I'm not the first to say this but they need to stop remaking classic films. We don't need a million reboots, we need to be remaking movies that had great ideas but were executed poorly. Actually give them a chance to realize their potential. Leave the classics alone. Make new classics.

I picked 2019-2020. I feel you.

Eleanor Roosevelt’s gun permit (which she got it around the time the klan put a $25k bounty on her head). What a vibe

Memes image of Aragorn and Theoden with undercuts and earrings saying "Chat, the beacon notification just hit. Gondor's asking for a carry" and "Say less."

This Is The Night Performed once a year, the Exsultet features rich descriptions of sights, sounds, scents—and bees.

Working on this with Nathan was one of the only bright spots in the early days of Covid.

We lost him last year, far too early, and I’d love you to read and listen to this small portion of the great scholarship he left us.

If you worked hard on something and want people to know about, you've got to speak up.

There's like a three-week window when a new book comes out where you get a lot of attention and there is no shame in basking in every bit of it. You earned it.

Do you have a source for this?

Jonathan the Tortoise is still alive folks. It seems like mainstream outlets got duped by a fake X account.

Jonathan is 193 years old, which is amazing. My favourite photo of him is this one from 1886 when he was already 53–54 which blows my mind
