    Explanation: Today is the Ides of March, the day on which the Roman conqueror and dictator Gaius Julius Caesar was assassinated, by being stabbed numerous times by the Senatorial aristocracy.

    Helvetia is the Latin name for what-is-now Switzerland, which is noted for a form of cheese that develops holes in it, looking vaguely like it’s been butchered by knife-wielding assassins 😭

        lmao, what if I told you I’m time-blind as fuck and had to scramble to steal from other people when I saw the date today so I wouldn’t miss it like I did last year? XD

          Oh so you’re like me, waiting and looking forward for a special day for weeks and then fucking it up last minute? Or just nonchalantly stumbling over your calendar and fixing a meal of stabby things?
