A little surprise for dh people from a few of us 🙂

I don't believe this. My forefathers and foremothers have... lied to me?

I am going to say something controversial but brave.

Dvořák - Symphony No. 9 in E Minor, Op. 95 "From the New World": IV. Allegro con fuoco was used in Baby Shark as the main melody and you can't change my mind about this because I can't unhear it.

Found an ideal playlist for the finishing touches on my dissertation.

What is your feel good music playlist when you're buried in administrative work. For me it's the 80s

Oh no, I am a man in this scenario (my budgies hate my loud keyboard with passion)

It's fascinating how some of my side gigs and my actual dissertation research happened to align so well (editorial work in publishing houses & studying medieval orthography), but now some things make me even more shaky

On a whole another note, stop writing Czech quotation marks as ,," 🥹

Does anyone know the demon who contacted the scribe of the Codex Gigas so he could finish writing the Bible in one night? I still need to finish one article and three chapters of my dissertation till the end of summer, could use some dark ritual or something 💁
