Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras.
This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

Not saying I think about the structural problems with A Song of Ice and Fire too much, but the other day I had a dream that 'The Winds of Winter' came out, and that it had an entirely new set of POV characters: historians trying to piece together how the war *really* ended a thousand years later.

I really wanted to travel internationally in my 40s but I'm starting to think I should renew my stupid annual pass bc the closest I'm getting to Greece in this economy is the food and wine festival at Epcot.

I was in my "laws should fucking mean things" bag today in class making my students research bad executive orders across party lines. I hate legal instruments being used in ways they shouldn't be used.

one of my most toxic opinions is that highly specialized and localized lawmaking is the behavior of medieval city-states and I don't know if we should really be trying to encourage that in our municipalities

Centuries-old immortal but also you just like, have a job. "Did you know Charlemagne?" No, man I was working on a boat for like a hundred years. "Did you meet Winston Churchill?" *why would I have met Winston Churchill*

there was a good bit in the Highlander TV show when his girlfriend finds out he's immortal and keeps asking him about famous historic figures and he has to be like, "yeah I didn't know that guy, I was in France then" and I think that's funny, too.
imagine if you were a vampire that lived for 100s of years but you just had a regular guy's memory. Like a normal person. "What was Venice like in the 14th century" Ahhh, I don't...I don't fucking remember. There was a guy, Vincenzo? Maybe that was the 15th century. Wait, did I live in Venice?
