ECCE CORINNA VENIT

Corinna Borealis: n. A lone star around which a solar system of sapphic drama revolves.

Here, a girl in the District studies inflected languages and invents new cupcakes.

Stuff I blog about: Languages, Geography, Cartography, mythology, Social Justice, books, Doctor Who old and new, The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Disney movies, My Little Pony, Lord of the Rings, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Sherlock Holmes in all of his his different flavors, 20th century history, corgis, my writing and anything else I damn well feel like.

How I identify: teacher, INTP, Capricorn, Ravenclaw, waterbender, urban hobbit, sun sign of John Watson with a moon sign of Sherlock Holmes lurking underneath

hotelsongs: carecub | xekstrin | wrathofprawn: for those not in the know, night witches were russian lady bombers who bombed the shit out of german lines in WW2. Thing is though, they had the oldest, noisiest, crappest planes in the entire world. The engines used to conk out halfway through their missions, so they had to climb out on the wings mid flight to restart the props. the planes were also so noisy that to stop germans from hearing them combing and starting up their anti aircraft guns, they’d climb up to a certain height, coast down to german positions, drop their bombs, restart their engines in midair, and get the fuck out of dodge. their leader flew over 200 missions and was never captured. how the fuck is this not taught in every single history class ever pretty sure I’ve reblogged this before but it can happen again
