controversial opinion time but tbh i think a lot of asian noodles kinda suck, the best one are the dried wide rice noodles imo, but a lot of them get very…clumpy? gluey?

@goingmedieval.bsky.social i hope you & Luke eventually do both “The Borgias” and “Borgia”, which “TB” gets a lot of press but “B” actually has the more insane and awesome ending that i think is a real “print the myth” scenario

it’s not right to say that Samwise & Frodo are in a non consummated relationship because Sam more fully plays the role of chaperone & so creates the opportunity for romance between Frodo & the fetish of the ring (so perhaps Sauron) by creating the tension of the caretaker

my favorite liberal tattoo is when someone has both the rebel alliance & the empire on them, it’s so beautiful that both sides-ism extends to your media consumption

is there a good single (or a few!) overview book for medieval maps (& maps inside charters, org maps, etc) & how they’re used to convey relational information or not just geographic/spatial information? hopefully with pictures of course #medievalsky

i need a 1470s Burgundian lookbook so bad now but tbh i’d take a 15th c. HRE lookbook instead, especially if there were patterns or construction discussion & at least a section on martial garments #medieval #medievalist #medievalsky

honestly i’ve thought about getting a mac laptop just because working across my phone and computer has just enough friction & that’s bigger imo, but i agree another who has an opinion on android really has an opinion they have to share
