  • I have gymed.

    There will be soup and dumplings later, but for now I must pack my work bag

  • I have a couple of hours to kill before the gym. Might make soup

  • There was a certain kind of madness in it, yes!

  • AskHistorians will delete basically anything you can’t source, so eventually you just do it!

    It’s honestly a weirdly involved process mounting that sort of expedition. To this day, you sort of have to plan for “falling off the edge of the earth for the duration”

  • Shackleton’s South and The Lost Men, by Kelly Tyler Lewis are also worth a look if you went digging in that expedition previously.

    The Worst Journey In The World is about a different one - Scott’s doomed polar run - but it’s some of the best adventure writing there is.

    “ Polar exploration is at once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time which has been devised…”

    Yes. Yes Cherry, it is.

  • This is a really weird thing to be pleased about, but I answered a question on AskHistorians today and everyone seems to like my answer.

    Yay, I know things

  • A minor PSA.

    If you're doing it a bit tough and you're in the Carlton area, Kathleen Syme library have a fridge in their entryway with free Fareshare meals available. Max 2 per person.

    Particularly good for chronic health gang, as they're heat and eat meals

  • It’s a nice day and I’ve lazed enough. I’m going out

  • Oooh, I’ve always liked Hawaiian

  • 45/50

    Holy shit, I’ve never been this good

  • It IS trivia. The question not being important enough to care about the answer is a feature, not a bug 😉

  • Gym in half an hour. After that, I can relax

  • 🥓🥩🍗🍖🦑🦐🦞🦀🦒

  • 🏅 and it’s even got a handy carrying strap
