Me writing an essay: queering the middle ages is not about uncovering sexual identities, but about examining the ways in which things don't conform to heteronormative study and thereby unsettle the established orthodoxy through which we view the middle ages

Also me: hahaha he's so gay

I get aroused when singers sing in their native accent instead of some bland American imitation

"What is this country coming to!?" the rich and famous demand. Unbeknownst to them it's always been this way. You've just either been too sheltered or too fucking lazy to see it

I'm not sure but we must close the border, they're getting too confident

Looking forward to a long overdue renewal of Welsh/Mercian hostilities caused by thieves from Northampton raiding St Fagans.

Then we played the first half of a d&d one shot and it was great.
I am a butcher imprisoned for serving cuts of the wealthy and then freed by a plucky gang of outlaws and now we're stuck in a town that may have a werewolf in it

To a trip to Cardiff to see William Morgan's Bible in the Senedd. Then saw a cool Jesus outside a church. Great old book. They wouldn't let me take cans into the Senedd. Either way 10/10

William Morgan's bible. It's open to the new testament. It's beautifully printed

St Mary's Anglican church in Cardiff, it's got two towers and a jesus on a the cross outside

Clearly nothing came of it. We packed up and went home, shocked. I walked two steps into my house, my mother saw me and burst out laughing. Turned out my she'd had made a four mile 3am hike with a kitchen knife to where she knew were camping just to put the absolute shits out of us. Wtf lmao

One time when I was young I went camping with my cousins and it was 3am in the middle of nowhere when someone starts scraping the outside of the tent with something sharp and metallic and whispering about how they were gonna kill the kids in the tent. We sat there for hours, frozen, awaiting death..
