today was a bad day and it’ll probably be a bad day for the rest of my life, but I am coming out of it feeling loved, and that’s something, right?

Ok - 4 days left, 25% to go. It's doable but it won't be easy. I've been quite severely ill for the last month, and whilst I've been waiting for a treatment to keep me on my feet for more than a week, this campaign has almost passed.

So I'm asking for help. Please boost this if you can.

just a reminder that if you're a medievalist with a book coming out, or a scholar of another period whose research TALKS ABOUT how the medieval is received in American life, YOU COULD BE ON THE PODCAST!

Met a woman walking through Tokyo last night, must have been a seamstress or something because she was holding a big pair of scissors. I think she asked me something but it was hard to make out from under her mask. I just said, “Sorry, I don’t speak Japanese!” and walked on. Hope she got home safe

He's the sports jersey pope now. 1000 years from now historians will be going through the Vatican archives trying to figure out who the Charlotte Hornets were.
Spike Lee just blessed Pope Leo with a custom Knicks jersey during his visit to the Vatican, just one week after the Pope was gifted a custom Chicago Bulls one.
