ko-fi.com/post/Shakesp... The END Conclusion References Tybalt is often misrepresented as the villain of the play, when he is just as much a victim as the rest of Verona’s youth. Mercutio is only remembered for his puns and innuendos, even though there is much more to him than just a clown.

The way the weather went from so cold last week that we were considering restarting the wood stove to so hot this week the heat made me nauseous is bullshit. Like, can we get a progression here, from cold to warm to hot, instead of radical jump from cold to hot? Smh.

Been reading a little mythology and it seems like one of the main cross-cultural themes is, “do not, under any circumstances, get on a boat.”

Look, I know I was reading Ancient Greek literature for fun when I was in my early teens and that’s not exactly normal, but I will admit I am still a bit horrified that lots of adult Christopher Nolan fans seem to have never *heard* of Homer or the Odyssey.
