Day 5: Promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them.

For this one I went a little far afield and recommended three kind of obscure but neat things on the Internet, all of which I either stumbled across by accident or had pointed out to me by a friend, so now I'm passing them on!


Chaucer Doth Tweet (@LeVostreGC) on Twitter
A fan of comedy, Middle English, and occasional Tolkien references? Look no further! Here's a sample tweet:
Ladyes yf he

-Distributeth giftes
-Hath an odd power to perceive deedes and intenciounes
-Doth lyve yn a place far removid fro civilisacioun
-Commandeth an armye of devoted followirs
-Ys older than ye wolde thynke

He ys nat thy man. He ys either Sauron or Santa Claus. Or both!


Loebolus
Loebolus is a site that hosts PDFs of all of the Loeb Classical Library editions that are available in the public domain. It's super useful for all you classicists out there.

The Ballad of Edgardo
A glorious, ostensibly-true tale of friendship, revenge, and roleplaying forums. Enjoy!

I love [twitter.com profile] LeVostreGC! The person behind it is a medievalist academic, and it really shows. (They're also a massive SFF fan, which is nice, too!)
