1) I don’t know if it’s a translation thing, but wow is my Cicero easier to read than Aristotle was.

2) Today in grad school:

Prof: So, who got influenced by Cicero?

Class: ???

Prof: EVERY-FUCKING-BODY!!!!

3) I know the discourse is terribad, but can’t lie, my absolute favourite Tumblr wank of recent years is the Jonsa vs Jonerys battle of the incests.

Is it worse to fuck your cousin raised as your sister or an aunt you never knew? Check in at Tumblr dot com!

(Some people at Tumblr felt the need to actually propose solutions to "the problem" in response, and I'm like... there's no problem from my end at all! This wank is glorious—it's like HP shipwar meets the Aragonese family tree.)

4) I’ve probably listened to assorted versions of “Fear Not This Night” dozens of times this week, but I never really get tired of it.

Favourites:

- The original piano version

- The official version by Jeremy Soule ft. Asja

- A four-cello arrangement

- This guy’s harp version

- Kyle Landry’s piano version

- Freya Catherine’s cover

- Laura Platt’s piano version
