This One Weird Track Will Blow Your Mind
Since few folks ever actually got this far in the NES game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (you know, the first one with that timed swim-to-defuse-bombs-in-the-dam level?) most of you won't have heard this hidden gem from the fifth overworld area:

There's something hauntingly catchy about the way it plays out, the way it loops. I think it's a perfect groove for the closest the game has to a "stealth" section.
In an earlier thread, I wrote briefly about trans people in medieval Europe, and discussed some of the main issues when studying the medieval history of trans people.
Today, if you'll indulge me, I want to spend some time discussing a single person in detail. I want to talk about the way she's been written about, and about her and what she can teach us about life as a trans person 600 years ago.
This is the story of Eleanor Rykener.

Breakfast at Seattle's "Serious Pie & Biscuit".
Pictured:
• The second half of a very tasty buttermilk biscuit smothered in delightfully coarse-ground peanut butter.
• Slices of perfectly ripe banana to be placed on said biscuit.
• Completely extraneous honey. The banana is sweet enough!
• My punishment for ordering a latte. Zero exaggeration, it is the worst espresso-based drink I have ever tasted, and I once drank an americano from Starbucks. Unfinishable.
So... good food, bad coffee.

Y’know if I were building a vampire empire I’d want to take over idk Prague, Vienna, Warsaw, Wroclaw or something. What’s in Wallachia other than sheep, stuffed cabbage and some nice architecture? #castlevania
