fun history fact: body snatchers, the people who would steal corpses from graves and illegally sell them to be used in medical research and anatomical study, were commonly referred to as "resurrectionists" or "resurrection men".
anyway...

Haven't done any running for more than a week due to the hot weather. Even at 8pm it's still "feels like 34ºC". But club started up again this week and hopefully it doesn't rain on Thursday so I can finally take Topaz back to agility.

"Alex?" Steph stood at his door, having just barely cracked it open to peer inside. He was lying in his bed with that dog he'd gone and adopted, her head cuddled to his chest while he fondly scratched at her ears. Some of his clothing was scattered around the room, half-packed for the trip he planned to take to his mom's to get out of the city while there was still so much heat on the Jack Rabbit story. There was a wariness in his eyes when he looked up at her. She hated to bother him. "Um. There's someone here for you."
His eyes narrowed. Alex pushed himself up, though one of his hands still scratched at Baby. "I told you not to talk to anyone. And I'm not saying shit to any kind of press."
"That's the thing," she replied. "He's not a reporter."
"Reporters lie, Steph." He frowned at her. "Tell him to go away."
"I can pretty well verify he's not a reporter." Stephanie crossed her arms. "He's like a.. baseball player, or something. Or he used to be. I think I've seen him when I visit the schools." Alex's frown turned more confused, but before he could talk, she cut him off. "Look, I've gotta get to work. If he's some.. creep, I'll kick him out, but I can't just leave him standing at the door. And it's just.. weird, so I thought-"
"Okay, fine. I'll.. look, I guess." Alex nudged Baby so she'd move. The dog let out a whine of protest, but complied when he gave her another small nudge. She didn't go far from his side as he moved out of his room and stared down the hall towards the front door. There, standing just inside, was a face that he almost didn't recognize. They'd only met the once, and sure, he'd caught a couple of the games, but.. "What the fuck are you doing here?" He called out, lacking in anger but full of a kind of bewilderment. Alex marched down the hall and stopped a few feet away from him. He'd changed his mind by that point. There wasn't any reasonto entertain this, whatever it was. "Listen, man, I'm not taking visitors."

Sometimes trying to specialize in the European middle ages is like: *goes to a seminar about ceramics*
And sometimes trying to specialize in the European middle ages is like: *Prof starts lecture 10 mins late due to had to finish the PowerPoint**opens said PowerPoint* Being gay (MEN ONLY) was invented at the Prussian court in 1906 and I can PROVE IT.

Eighteenth-century science made part of its public impact through spectacular lecture demonstrations, most famously depicted in Joseph Wright's characteristically-lit view of an experimental philosopher displaying powers of the air pump.

TBH, pretty much all of Sophie’s actions and careless tendencies can be marked up by her infinite desire to be viewed as the “Perfect woman”. Wanting to receive praises and reward for being accordance.

despite the fact that, for at least 14 years, my Notable Dance Ability™ (to the point that every single new teacher and friend AND the artistic director I last auditioned for have to comment on it and/or make me demonstrate) is That Girl Can Jump, I've never thought much about being naturally good at it aside from joking about my thighs but now I'm trying to figure out how to teach kids the progression from like baby jumps to fun jumps and my brain is just like well. you just. you Just Do It. that is All.

EEEEYOUCH !!!
Can't decide whether it's funnier to say "my hungry ass could never work at a" and then say something that implies you're eating something truly grotesque or something that just, makes no sense
