disgruntled by the calendar change, Julian calls out the Gregorian monks

Tina Stewart Brakebill

Not fair, Julian chants

In a monophonic tone

A treaty was struck

They got the steady back beat

I got the days of the week

1 Gregorian-Calendar-181b3ad

Yes, I know that it was Julias Caesar (not “julian”) who adopted the Julian calendar, but I am imaging an irate talking (chanting) calendar. 😉

Thanks to Linda’s annual JusJoJan prompt for the opportunity to have some fun with (some slightly ahistorical) calendar trivia. For the real story, visit Britannica.com.

Screaming into the Void

Tina Stewart Brakebill

She had hurdled headfirst into the belly of the beast, but she wasn’t scared. Instead, she had felt strong, like an avenging angel, cutting through the hype like a flaming sword of justice. She was not a hater! She had just wanted to introduce some balance, but now she was scared. It was like screaming into the void. Nobody messed with Taylor and got out alive.

Just for the record, I’m a Taylor Swift fan. But … sometimes ya gotta speak truth to power 😉
