Rome has some of the most incredible and artistically innovative fountains. The Trevi fountain is sure to be crammed with tourists this time of year, but do not to miss hidden gems like this: Saccus Neptuni

The best Amazon review I’ve seen in a while, which stinks because the shirt was actually 100% cotton and natural fibers are hard to come by on sites like that.

Halfway thru a map I’m making for my upcoming #dnd campaign set to start next semester. There’s still a ton of cleaning up to do and towns/features to add—especially at the bottom—but I’m filled with the pre-campaign ✨sparkles✨

Had a nice rainbow over my parents’ farm. The grandkids (my dogs) are going to love living here for the next month (their vacation from the city).

How I’m feeling about being a #gradstudent trying to connect with other #medieval scholars #academic

I wish I could exude the dark academia studying vibes—reading old books in a dark, wood-filled library—but instead I’m editing my paper on my laptop while watching Great British Bake-off and eating tuna straight out if the can #dorkacademia #gradstudentlife

Enjoy this picture of the Met Cloisters while I tell you about myself: I’m a PhD candidate using game studies to track premodern race & emerging nation in Middle English romances. I’m here to read medieval/game stuff, find new opportunities/ppl, repost, shit post, & occasionally do a tarot reading.
