Today, I learned a giant rat trained to detect TB retired after 7 years. Her name was Carolina, and she joined another retiree named Gilbert.

The Histories: An encyclopedia of absolutely true bios of real people is full of vampires, assassins, and poetry wizards.

If you've never read it, you should. Some people you know might be on there!

Plus, you can get an entry (or request an addition), too! #writing

In case anyone needs a progressive house tune that will life you out of the abyss, might I recommend Jerome Isma-Ae and Astor's "Wilde"?

One of my favorites.
