Medical texts from 2,500 years ago rarely mention severe memory loss, suggesting today’s widespread dementia stems from modern environments and lifestyles, a new USC analysis shows.

You ever think about the reason why Nico was the first person to find camp Jupiter and why he gets along with the Romans so well is because he’s Italian and could very well be a Roman legacy. Taking suggestions on what his legacy parent would be.

the chalice of the gods becomes objectively funnier if you head canon that percy and annabeth only stay at New Rome for a single semester before realizing its batshit insane there and running for the hills

there is no straight explanation for this

I can’t wait for fall/winter again all the romanticization of the cold, weather, everything aaa

ROMAN AND THE PERSONAL TRAINER.

64 years ago yesterday, ginny danburry played hermia in a midsummer night’s dream.

hermia!ginny closet cosplay :)

You can't see it, But you make me smile every day There's nothing I can do, You're so far away In the moonlight We will meet and dance again.

Researchers in Pompeii have come across a fresco of what is believed to be a precursor to the world’s favorite Italian dish – a pizza!

idk who this interviewer guy is (mehdi hasan apparently!), but i really appreciate his little romangerri manifesto and jsc answering with the most delightful tone in her voice when she says “i don’t think so” about it being over. (it wasn’t over! it still isn’t over!) i transcribed the clip just for fun!

Do you think that Roman and Gerri's story is over at that point? We can only imagine, I guess. JSC: I don't think so. I feel like, well, I don't know what's in Jesse and the other writers' minds, but I feel like the fact that even just so little bit [sic] of the narrative of their relationship is referenced in the very end ... but the fact that we're looking at each other and it's hard for us is proof that there's ... there's still some kind of attachment there. I mean, I've always thought that, you know, what Gerri wanted was a business relationship with him, but in the course of events I think, you know, he got under her skin. She got really attached to him, and she's not used to being attached to people and she probably didn't recognize what she was feeling. So I think she's, you know, not a sentimental person, but finding herself still feeling worried for him and, uh, empathy for him. I mean, Succession's kind of this cold, chilly, objective world where there really isn't empathy. It's like it doesn't really exist in the little pretend universe of it. But I feel like whatever version of it that there could be, that she's feeling that for him.

once i start posting in latin it’s over for y’all

He and his best friend spotted you across the senate and they would like to know if your house is for sale

Admittedly not the most period fabric choice, but sometimes we get to put the "creative" in SCA :P I debuted this at the Blue Feather social at Lilies a couple of weeks ago.

The tunica is a linen gauze and the beads on the sleeves are little moonstone clouds, for maximum cuteness.

The belt was brand new and made for me by a talented and awesome friend.

The necklace I made a while ago. I like the idea behind the rainbow chains and stuff that have been going around, wanted a more period option for myself. I've never seen an example in this kind of color configuration, but the general design and all the stones/glass are period for me.
