A blog full of history, art, photography, poetry, rambles, rants, and oddities from the wonderful worlds of anthropology and Medieval Studies. Note: Some of my older rants are probably deep into nuthouse territory. At the time, so was I. Rather than edit anything (I'm lazy and it takes time), I leave this warning. You have been warned and I am sorry (really, really sorry). That said, happy to chat.
i love how Gandalf invested in Hobbits in year one and has been pushing them ever since. Thorin, i hear you need help with a breaking and entering. Can I recommend one of these little cunts? Silent as fuck, trust me. Elrond my dude i know you're skeptical but these four chucklefucks just transported a weapon of mass destruction all the way here. Theoden, you've gotta get yourself a hobbit man, I've got a spare one here. Denathor you big prick, take a hobbit - literally this is the bottom of the range but listen to him sing. Beautiful little bastard.

The Palestinian speaker at the UN Security Council highlights the devastating toll of casualties among Palestinians resulting from the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
I think that's a dog? Not sure though. Medieval animals in armor is...not my expertise, though it probably should be considering a Medieval Studies degree isn't really useful for much else (aside from getting a doctorate and teaching more people about Medieval Studies, which I was not smart/dedicated/driven enough to do to my continued shame).
