As we await the Blood Moon eclipse, some warm that the end of the world is near. Here is a medieval reminder of the signs of the Apocalypse
[Bodleian Douce 134, 16th c.]
The sea rises to the mountain tops.
Second sign of the Apocalypse: the sea descends out of sight.
The Third sign of the Apocalypse: the gathering together of the fish and sea monsters
The Fourth sign of the Apocalypse: the waters burn
The Fifth sign of the Apocalypse: the trees and plants sweat blood
The Sixth sign of the Apocalypse: buildings and towns fall to the ground
The Seventh sign of the Apocalypse: the stones fight with each other
The Eighth sign of the Apocalypse: the whole earth quakes
The Ninth sign of the Apocalypse: the earth is made flat
The Tenth sign of the Apocalypse: the people emerge speechless from their hiding places
The Eleventh sign of the Apocalypse: the dead rise from their tombs
The Twelfth sign of the Apocalypse: the stars fall
The Thirteenth sign of the Apocalypse: the living die so that they can rise again with the dead
The Fourteenth sign of the Apocalypse: earth and sky consumed by fire
The Fifteenth sign of the Apocalypse: sun and moon await the coming of Christ
And here is the prince of devils smiling at the initial typo of this thread.

Gonna go ahead and guess that a number of you did not accomplish all that you hoped to accomplish in 2018, and I'm here to tell you, that's okay. 2018 was the year that took ten years, a time-warp mind-fuck of a year that felt less like a calendar and more like a circus mirror.
What I can tell you, from some experience, is that in this regard the only constructive path forward is forgiveness of yourself. That's it.
You can try to blame yourself, or blame the year, or blame the news, but blame isn't a useful emotion, really -- it has you looking back with rancor and disdain, and though it can feel good to find a root cause, this isn't science. You can't really find the reason. Is what it is.

Still on a bit of a nostalgic #DoctorWho kick, in particular for the Moffat Era.

So now watching “Dark Water”, the first part of the two-part eighth season finale.
“It's a terrible thing. Just a terrible, terrible thing.”
“It wasn't terrible.”
“Clara?”
“It was boring.”
“Boring?”
“It was ordinary.”

Clara is a fascinating companion, in large part because she’s essentially riffing on the sense of entitlement that Rose felt.
“He deserved better. And so did you.”
“I don't deserve anything. Nobody deserves anything.”
“But I am owed better. I am owed.”

Clara is selfish and self-centred. But she’s aware of that, and the show is aware of that.

These traits are explored as developed. They make her human.

It's #ColumbusDay and my oldest came to class with me, so I couldn't give my traditional #columbuswasamurderer lesson to my students. I was disappointed. Thankfully, Twitter is here, so here we go.
First, I do know that Columbus is in many ways a product of his time, specifically the economic and political crisis in Genoa post-1453 and the fall of Constantinople--we find Genoese cartographers, navigators and sailors all over the place in the aftermath, so...
Columbus himself is an experienced sailor--he travels the Eastern Mediterranean, up to Ireland/UK/maybe Iceland, down the coast of Africa to Guinea... he's not just some random dude with a plan, he's a random well-traveled sailor with a plan.
