If you haven’t heard of X Company, you’re not alone—but you’re missing out. This Canadian World War II spy drama combines gut-twisting espionage with quiet, powerful romance in a way that still haunts me years after watching. The storytelling is sharp, the characters unforgettable, and the romantic tension? Off the charts. Don’t let the soft-focus promo poster fool you—this one pulls no punches.
On this day in 410 AD, Rome was sacked—and the world changed. But perhaps the real marvel isn’t that Rome fell. It’s that it lasted more than a thousand years.

After the Romans flogged her and assaulted her daughters, she rallied her tribe and scorched a path through Roman Britain so fierce, it still smolders in the national memory.

Compare that to medieval Europe, where married women basically vanished from the legal record. This post dives into why I’ll always pick a toga over a tabard, and why history, like fiction, is better when women get to speak.
