Thank you for this resource. And good luck to you on your healing journey. 🌷

Thank you. I didn’t mean to derail your thread. I really AM glad for you. And actually, reading this has made me realize that deep down I really do want to leave. The silver lining is that I have earning potential, but my mental health got in the way of my work. Once that is better I should be able to bounce back.

I’m financially stuck in a relationship like this. He’s trying, but...yeah. I’m glad that this dude is out of your life.

This is my issue with the Handmaid’s Tale. ^^

Oh I definitely think that’s what it is.

THANK YOU. Must be nice not to have to worry about getting basic care (I had no basic care pre-ACA when i was in college, and would treat my asthma with steam from the shower and an ear infection with advil until it got so bad the Walgreens doc-bc no private physician would see me-couldn’t get the ear tool thing into…

Not surprising. White supremecists and anti-choicers are one in the same. Willie Parker (abortion doc) suggests it’s bc the anti-choice movement is concerned that white people aren’t having enough babies. I havent looked up the data, but it seems that white women are the ones having a ton of kids, probably for this…

Not only that, but the bio mother of Devonte Hart lost her children due to drug addiction, though she was working on getting clean and the kids weren’t being abused. She found out her children were murdered from news reports. She wouldn’t have known otherwise.

Yup, I got him confused with Percy

Now I’m embarassed. It’s been so long since I looked those two up. You’re right, Byron did not drown. And, I didn’t know that about his childhood. :/ Very sad.

Yes! It looked like something off of Tumblr. I think Arya-whats-her-name would have made a more convincing Shelley, actually.

Mistress :)

Thank you for the reminder about where they met! I totally forgot about that.

Exactly! It really changes the tone.

Also, Lord Byron was a jerk.

She kept her husband’s heart and even a bit of his ash! The book with the ash is on display in England somewhere.

So, it’s about damn time that Mary Shelley is getting the film treatment.

You raise good points. I’m not disagreeing. My personal anecdote: this is where bring raised Catholic and watching teen parenthood basically trap my female relatives came in handy. I never considered having sex as a teen. I mean I was weird and didn’t even have a first date/kiss until I was later into my teenagehood,…

I say this as a professional writer-it’s crap that one needs an MFA to run in these circles. I don’t have an MFA-I wanted a job after graduating. But, you should put some samples together and reach out to Jez. Writing and connections in the field can easily be finetuned/had through work and degrees shouldn’t be an…
