I am once again thinking about WWI. :( Reading "In Memoriam" shortly after getting obsessed with Tolkien has been quite a doozy

Just got told I have “tumblr vibes” 😂

New life objective unlocked: be brave enough for mosh pit

Every once in awhile I remember that most people's first association with Chuck Tingle probably isn't "neurodivergent advocacy"

Dang I forgot how much I love Catullus. 😂

you will NOT write Stucky fan fiction in the year of our lord 2024

Today’s whacky crossover thought brought to you by too many Marvel video essays and my constant undercurrent of Tolkien thoughts: Winter Soldier!Bucky/Maglor doing a Beren and Luthien and he agrees to steal the Silmarils for Maglor bc he needs a mission and Maglor is way better than the Russians

My kingdom for a fic that's just... an exhaustively-researched series of one-shots where Bucky Barnes fights in the background of every major historical event between 1945 and 2014, like some sort of evil Forest Gump.

Watching Winter Soldier. I may have a problem

Just finished watching Captain America and writing postcards to swing states. I feel like Steve would be proud.

I wish I could tell teenage me that a lot was going to change over the next ten years but I would still be obsessed with my Star Wars OCs 😂

since eveyone's sharing their most popular videos 🐦🌟

Started going to the gym again and my back, arms, and shoulders are demanding to know what the hell I’ve done to them. 😂

I feel like there are two different ways to make a fanmix: 1. Choose songs whose lyrics and vibe match the character. 2. Choose songs that the character would listen to. Which. Are normally very different than the songs in #1. 😂

Getting into Stucky about ten years late

Bluesky… assemble.

SWORD LESBIAN CHAPPEL ROAN

Oh thank god its over

The debate is going... I don't want to jinx it but... well?

Suddenly thinking about watching the original Star Wars trilogy 🧐

Do you ever get emotional about the Gracchi brothers

I friggin love it when the historians get into the historiography of their subject. 😌 Reading the introduction to a well-researched book feels like cutting a thick slice of cake.

reviving perhaps my greatest twitter bit: lan xichen would love the sayings on dove chocolates

Oh dear, new time sink discovered. A trip planner ON THE IMPERIAL ROME ROAD NETWORK omnesviae.org

The realization that all the stuff I’ve been putting off can be accomplished in under thirty minutes

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Cutting my hair short has unlocked so many new little habits. Lol. I still love running my fingers through the back of it. XD

Researching the colonization of North America and you wouldn't believe the dumb shit people say. 😬 "Europe's period of exploration and colonization was fueled largely by necessity. Europeans had become accustomed to... silks, spices, and pottery..." Jesus fucking CHRIST.

Just when I think I'm over Chappell Roan, I listen to Chappell Roan again and you'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

Have you thought about Bacchae today

Experimenting with starter packs and I've made one about linguistics! I'm sure I've still missed out on people who should be on it, so expect some tinkering over the next few days, but here's a start! go.bsky.app/UUM7Gcx

just put the geekiest thing into the book Latin didn't have a word for 'yes'. Nor ancient British. Romans would say e.g. 'verily' (ita vero) 'Yes' in Romance languages descends from other ways of indicating agreement - 'thus' (sic) -> 'si', 'that it be' (hoc illud) -> 'oui'...

I'm really curious... how often do you guys get crushes? If you get them, how old were you when you had your first?

@oakleaf.bsky.social new name is looking good 😂

No thoughts, just thinking about Slimey, his adventures in Paris, and him getting to meet the GOAT herself

This is really good

It’s so cute watching the states roll call at the DNC. Every state has their own little song. 😂

Some exciting news: We have made The Onion's historical front page archive, dating back to 1900, available and free for all. Explore history with us, starting with this day in 1932: theonion.com/front-page-a...

lord, grant me the joy I felt at the Scholastic Book Fair

me, writing: I have never ONCE described an interior and I’m not going to start now all characters will be faceless voices floating in a void AS GOD INTENDED

TIRED. PLEASE. DONT ASK ME QUESTIONS.

Taking a little break from Ursula Le Guin to read this. About three chapters in.

Phone banking for Harris has been unexpectedly fun. 😂

I have no idea how to accept a compliment lol

And eternally, with this gift link, please: read Dara Horn on anything she writes about Jewishness, antisemitism and education. She is correct.

Please read this whole thread. I know it's not fun, but it's desperately important. And I am begging, insisting my friends on the left, where I also live: take antisemitism on our side seriously. I don't expect anything of right-wingers. When it comes from my friends, it deeply, indelibly hurts.

I know I'm meant to be working on something when I feel it physically taking over my brain. 😂 Nobody's asking me to revise this project, but... I know it's not right, and I know it would potentially do a lot of good in the world if I made it better... plus it's historically fascinating.

Finishing up work at 10:00. 🫠 I love my job

I can't recommend Feel Good highly enough. youtu.be/IA6zm_kt5iM?...

CW // active shooting mention Just got done with active shooter training and in both scenarios it ended up being me and the same guy running like mad for the rally point. :P
