If you’re an American federal employee and got an email saying “it’s ok to quit your job.” Do not, for the love of everything, quit your job. This is purely a scare tactic to get rid of as many people as possible without legal consequences.

a list of some sites that I find helpful for research:
mythopedia.com not academic, but given how many notes and references to both primary and secondary sources there are, I'd say if you're looking for a place to start, this is a good one
theoi.com is also really good for finding a place to start. it's much more academic in nature since the information provided is strictly from ancient sources, but it's easy to navigate with a genealogy, extensive bibliography and image galleries
for ancient texts:
topostext.org -- an absolute wealth of mythological and historical Greek and Roman texts, with searches for both Places and People, and access to the original Greek/Latin. absolutely wonderful for cross referencing. there's also a free app for both Apple Store and Google Play
Perseus Digital Library -- this also has extensive Latin and Greek (and more!) texts, though I prefer using the Scaife Viewer due to the ability to see English and Latin or Greek side by side
miscellaneous:
Project Gutenberg is great if you're looking for free, easily accessible ebooks, here you go! there’s not many current books, but if you’re looking for classics this would be the place to look
LibriVox (and here’s LibriVox’s youtube channel) is free, public domain audiobooks!

In ancient times, the dead were often buried with coins in their mouths. This is because many ancient cultures believed the dead were a bunch of assholes, and thought it was funny to make them eat coins.

Years of pressure and heat can cause the ink in photos to transfer directly onto plastic, a process known as image bleeding.

[Image Description: A Tweet that reads: Hey, you. You're valid for writing fanfiction. Someone has stayed up late reading your words on their phone with auto-rotate off. Someone has dropped everything when they got that update email. Your work has made someone happy and you do it *in your spare time*. You're awesome. End ID.]

If I were a security guard for a person who’s being targeted by assassins I simply wouldn’t devote my entire attention span to every single noise I hear.

I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD
