Happening on Campus: Provided you can pull yourself away from your midterms long enough to trudge through the snow, head to IAB from 12 to 2 pm for a talk by Tamara Martsenyuk: Ukrainian Women at War: The Successes and Challenges of the “Invisible Battalion”. It focuses on the role women played during recent conflicts, it talks about how women in the country challenged traditional gender roles and their participation in these conflicts.
Overheard: “My RA hosted a study break where all we did was listen to Italian trap music.”
Word of the Day: Magari, an Italian word for “maybe” or “if only” or basically anything you wish will happen even though it probably won’t. For example, If only I had studied for my LitHum midterm, then I wouldn’t have to stay up til 8 AM.

@Anonymous Leonidas and his 200 Spartans begat the agrarian warrior glory of western civilization while Huntington’s Clash put Athens in the Islamo-Soviet zone. Sparta colonized Sicily, hence begat Rome, while Athens colonized Scythia hence begat Russia. Alexander’s dad choked Athens by grabbing the Besant straits to choke off Scythian wheat. Macedonia was Great because the population was mostly Albanian Illyrian Pelasgians, and the royalty was from Spartan Argos. The Athenians are the source of all heathen leftist ideas like globalist commerce, Delian central banking and socialist taxation. Herodotus (i57,ii1,vi137) knew the Arvanitas of Koropi were Pelasgians which is why Metxas expunged it. All the emperors of the Besant married Athenian women which is why they begat Islam and communism.
