Seasonal Logeion entry κακοθερής, unfitted to endure summer heat.

Good night all.

Have to admit it is very satisfying to be able to highlight my home country in Trench Crusade, and to feature a local artist to boot!

Announcing the new Kayo Dot album and first single!

Aside from the good they can and do perform, boycotting things you want is crucially important for the simple fact that you have to be able to allow yourself to be materially impacted by your values or they’re fucking worthless. They’re smoke and mirrors. They’re NOTHING.

I'm not on twitter anymore, but this tweet from 2 years ago is sadly more accurate than ever

Ita dixi. Eum tam directe nominare non expectavi.

insulae, edepol.

Quom Gesta Danorum Saxonis Grammatici legerem mihi valde placuit quod Insula quae hodie "Islandia" vel "Ísland" appellatur, Saxo nomen "Glacialis" dedit. Non erravit ille, vero est glacies.

ABOA INVICTA! 🇫🇮

Sine dubio, dissertationem suam facere maxime docet.

I did it. There's also a version with Brutus.

The "those who know meme" with Mesusa's image top; left guy is covering his eyes and the text "qui sciunt" is written below him in Latin ; right guy has been turned to stone and the text "qui nesciunt" is is written below him.

Since we posted a Medusa mosaic earlier, here's a matching cartoon. qui sciunt = "those who know," qui nesciunt = "those who don't know."

This ancient Greek and Roman saying about smearing yourself with honey is about about living too luxuriously or softly. -- In eos dicitur qui nimis suaviter sive luxuriose vitam agunt.

Triumphusne Romanorum est quod lingua horum tam longe contendit?

Cursibus paucis linguisticis hodiernis perfectis, interdum mihi alieni sentiuntur. Praecipue quom lectrix de labore in loco locuta'st. Utinam transire per tempus aut mortuos ad vitam excitare possim...

Aliquid pulchrum in verbis neutris Graecis quae in radice "t" habent video. Praecipue formae plurales: chroma/chromata, stigma/stigmata et alia similia. Forsitan repetitio brevis vocalis "a" mihi bona auditur.

Et vulpem callidam esse putabam...

Colloquium de longitudine vocalium et pronuntiatione earum vidi. Mirum quod quidam illas non magni aestimarent, in lingua mea autem longitudo pars innata'st. Id est, dubium abest, vocales longae pronuntiandae sunt. Momentum videtur adiunctum linguae locutoris. Quam exacta pronuntiatio vestra est?

Iucundumst mihi quod musicam jazz cognovi per formam "free jazz". Antithesin "smooth jazz" appellarem, hahae. Aliter cognovi musicam "metallicam", quam per Manowar gregem musicum maxime popularem occurri. Hodie gustus meus studere musicae empiricae aut complicatae solet.

Consilium capiam ut opus de forma futura "sigmatica" in Fabulis Plautinis (vel aliorum) scribam. Operi melius est quod de re simile operis minoris perfecti scriptum'st. Iam de Plauto et lingua eius breviter scripsi et formae istae, uti "faxo" pro "faciam", visae facile sunt.

Affero abbreviationes hodiernas anglicas pronuntiandas ut pronuntiatio aegyptologicalis. I.e. inter consonantes vocalis "e" ponitur. tbh > tebeh.
Revera hoc usa sum, iocandi causa, cum amicis meis (linguistae non sunt) abhinc nonnullos annos et illi quoque more utebantur. Nunc autem mortuus est mos.

Virum illustrem te esse nunc putas? :D

Modo pensabam. Fortasse facilius scribere ut doctum est, hahae.

ignosce mihi, sensum "que" non intellego.

Immo, nisi fallor, perpetuo auctor fabularum veterum contractiones utitur. Sed si aemulationem quaererem, cetera stili uti necesse esset. Sicut omnes formas verborum antiquiores, fortasse.

Ut scripta mea similia loquendi faciam, inhaereone verbum 'esse' iuxta prius verbum? Estne nimium Plautinum?
e.g., hoc modo scriptumst.
