Sigh. Since pieces are going around using "medieval peasant" as a perjorative again, here's your reminder that they were way better organized, more rebellious, less superstitious, more aware of sanitation and way more ingenious than you've probably been taught. I've written about this *a lot.*

Some of my most favorite people are principled anti-work grifters. Let’s not sully their fine names by lumping in this shiftless fascist

i've not paid much attention to his acting but this is a banger quote. brissie lad too 🌞

Gender is a spectrum from just wanting have fun to being back in town, and to varying degrees, each of us contains attributes of both, which is a beautiful thing

whats the etymology of "keen" becoming the standard word for describing one's "attention to detail"
