Trying to explain that a mummy known as the "Princess of Xiaohe" isn't a princess because she had high social status but because she's perfectly preserved and her features are striking, but without trying to imply that a mummy is hot, which would be weird as hell

I’ve been thinking: now, more than ever, it’s the safest and best time to be yourself when designing your personal website. If every job application is going to be ignored by the awful process it gets sent to, then might as well go bananas on a personal website?

Ughhh, Widow's Bay is so good and fun (and unexpectedly quite scary at times?!)

I am also very much enjoying The Terror: The Devil in Silver. I was feral for s1 and loved s2, and have been looking forward to this for literal years! Dan Stevens is great in it
