Just a professor of medieval literature -- the one you hope you do get -- and scholar of popular culture who obsessively fangirls over Hawkeye, Cap, Bucky, Dean Winchester, Eliot Spencer, and Aragorn, son of Arathorn. I have a type.

Many thanks to the Toronto Star for inadvertently showing us why we should all use the Oxford Comma. Apparently Sylvia had some, let's say, complicated hobbies:
Headline from the Toronto Star:

The latest historical fiction
books take inspiration from
Sylvia Plath, a New York
vigilante and Shah of Iran

We review ‘Daffodil Days,’ ‘Lady X,’ ‘Love Lane’ and
‘Mistress of the Persian Boarding House.

Finally made it home after falling, having emergency surgery, and having to crash at a friend’s house for six weeks. So excited to find my packages from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social and @weltschmerz.bsky.social waiting on me. I’m in love.

It sucks that more and more Chinese food gets packaged in plastic containers instead of the classic takeout boxes. This isn't an environmental plea it's just sometimes I want to eat cold late night lo mein straight from the box with chopsticks like a depressed 80s detective.

All I want to eat for the rest of my life is an assortment of various kinds of dumplings. I include things like empanadas and patties in this category. Anything that is a filling inside dough.

Sometimes in life you just need to stop and yell in a basket on the sidewalk. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

The beautiful thing about the movie Galaxy Quest is that I’m only somewhat sure Alan Rickman was acting and not just deeply irritated to be in the movie Galaxy Quest

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

If we can’t read passages from our favorite classic novels aloud to one another whilst enjoying dark chocolate tiramisu and a bottle of Château Margaux in front of a crackling fire in a Victorian mansion during a full moon on a cold winter’s night, then what’s the point?
