Thank you for adding this image description! Just wanted to clarify that it’s not stylised, but actual Middle English. The text is from The Canterbury Tales.

Okay, had to track it down. It’s from the Reeve’s Tale, and it’s a description of a 20yo young woman:

This wenche thikke and wel y-growen was, With camuse nose and yën greye as glas; With buttokes brode and brestes rounde and hye, But right fair was hir heer, I wol nat lye.

In modern English (had to look up “camuse”, so that’s as good as my source, but I know the rest)

This wench was thick and well-grown With a pug nose and eyes grey as glass; With buttocks broad and breasts round and high, But right fair was her hair, I will not lie.

The fact that Chaucer had “big butt” and “I will not lie” within two lines of each other is causing me disproportionate amusement. Also the fact that “this wenche thikke” works equally well in Middle English and in modern slang.

The Canterbury tales is an incredibly sexual text. I recommend The Millers Tale.

These bugs are all good species to handle - none of them are dangerous and none of them are nervous by nature. All of them are being handled correctly.

Hello

I am back after a long and unexpected break.

I'm really sorry for that.

Over the summer, my life completely fell apart and it got so bad that I just stopped using this account because I always share when big things happen to me and it was literally becoming "and this bad thing" "and this" "and this" "oh and this".

Life has actually gotten a lot better recently so I feel like I'm ready to come back.

I actually got a new job working at a comic book store which is incredible but still feels deeply unreal. I'm also taking a couple of in person lab classes that everytime I walk into them I wonder "how the fuck did they let me in here?"

So I'm back and life is chaotic and good.
