Harvard Law has the Falik Men's Room. The rumor was that the donor, Mr. Falik, wanted to call it the Falik Gentlemen's Lounge but then-Dean Elena Kagan was like 1) no and 2) we have to put this plaque INSIDE the bathroom not outside. (This does not stop people from sneaking in and taking pics 👀)

I had a Scottish fiddle gig last week, but tonight I got to go out and experience the Tartan Army recreationally with @knitandlisten.bsky.social, @sigmabeta.bsky.social, a Livejournal friend from 25 years ago, and a trad fiddle friend from recently. Peak boston experience

this is a picture of my British friend at a festival in Virginia. He was so excited to visit his first American grocery store

ok this was the funniest possible answer and it’s not 100% accurate but “it would be just like what happened to my close friend Mon Mothma” is a sentence I recently said in relation to my dating life

this is from the Robb biography but my sister owns another book that goes into much more detail (though possibly not particularly facts-based, as she picked it up—AS A BIT—from a bookstore with a large occult section). I’ll try to find some funny excerpts from that too
Text from Graham Robb’s Victor Hugo saying, “When darkness filled the house and the only sound was the whispering sea, one world dissolved into the other. References in the sexual account books to 'incubi' and 'succubi' may not mean that Hugo was a practising necrophiliac, but the thought was there. A servant who had known him sexually 'returned' several times after her death and gave rise to a short but pregnant entry in the diary: '+! prayer’.

RIP Victor Hugo you would have loved RFK Jr’s sexts
Sext from Victor Hugo to Juliette-Joséphine Gauvain: “On 26 February 1802, I awoke to life; on 16 February 1833, I awoke to love. My mother made me, and you created me. . . . I was suckled by my mother, who was my nurse; I drank your soul from your lips, and you were also my nurse, for you filled me with perfection”

A couple weeks ago I played in an orchestra doing Jaws (1975) live on Martha’s Vineyard solely so I could get this popcorn bucket for the bit. On the way back we were all stuffed into some tiny fishing boats that I’m pretty sure were over their weight limits. Richard Dreyfuss was there

a screenshot of a story from From a Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi. It includes the sentence "She speaks clearly, with precision, acknowledging the sacrifices many have made to bring the rebels the Death Star plans." The word "many" has been underlined crudely in red (digitally) and underneath that is written in shitty finger-writing in the Apple Photos editor: "Many WHAT, Mon? Many WHAT"
