Trope Talk: Rule of 3!

Here we go, a new trope talk!

A personal note: my next two weeks are going to be… almost criminally busy. I have finals, followed by a week-long trip for an excavation. I most likely won't be able to put out anything for the duration - as soon as summer starts for me it'll be a different story, ...

T-shirts!

Hello friends!

Man, it has been one heck of a day/week. Personally I'm wrangling with finals and one particularly stubborn bio-physics pset I don't even know where to START on, which - fun fact - is due Tuesday, yaaaaay. But thanks to a happy confluence of circumstances, I've got a four-day-weeken...

Armchair History — Thebes

This story, on account of the pure insanity of it, is one of my absolute favorites in all of history.
