She hated it so much she actually stopped writing while there for a good while.

Mildly interesting, but it doesn’t seem to understand Austen as her closer readers will. I mean if you can’t get the simple bio write forget about understanding the social satire prevalent in all of her works.

I believe it alpears in one of her letter to Cassandra. I’m an Austen nerd (hence the handle). This article definitely has some issues in that section.

This probably applies to half of the words he uses

He also struggles with bipolar disorder. That compounded with addiction made him a not so great person. I admire how much work he’s put in to his treatment and sobriety as someone who also has bipolar disorder (and a fatger with both bipolar and addiction who refuses treatment).

Either skin color or they were speaking Spanish amongst themselves. I’m from soCal and my mom and I never speak in English to each other. Most people don’t care, but racists assholes gonna racist anywhere you go.

It’s supposed to be, but since the right isn’t keen on UN or other international orgs I doubt they care.

Not mention certain crops can’t be properly machine picked...

Undocumented persons

Yup. It’s stupid. I have cousins who are gang affiliated or ex-members. If I weren’t a citizen, that would be enough to put me on the list to be targeted by ICE.

Exactly. I’m a teacher. Pretty basic job, but I was a valedictorian at my high school and graduated from UC Berkeley. My white counterparts tend to look at me and expect me to bow to their expertise just because they’ve been teaching longer than I have, then stare in amazement when I get better performance reviews or…

Living for your commemts and links right now. A lot happened while I was asleep in the arena of white fragility.

As your name states, bitch please. So much white fragility in these comments. Someone get me a white tears gif.

I loved her so much. Such a talent and loving sould. Thank you for posting this. I have bipolar disorder, like she did, and she has been my idol on that front for years. I’m sobbing a bit now, which is rare for me. I’ve cried at very few deaths: my beloved childhood dog, my favorite aunt, Robin Williams, and now…

Sorry but fuck everyone in this thread and their absolute lack of compassion and understanding of bipolar disorder. Literally almost everyone I know can’t tell I have it now that I’m in steady treatment unless I tell them.

Like in the White Queen’s Narnia, without Aslan it is always winter but never Christmas.

The only 2 legal path available are marrying a citizen or leaving the country voluntarily, waiting 10 years, then applying for a visa *if* there’s a program you qualify for. It’s basically near impossible. Or you can do as my dad did and get picked up by ICE, held in a detention center for 4 months, spend $8 grand you…

Definitely don’t miss those. They actually started giving me Ensure with my meals my last time in. Because I wasn’t eating the food. I figured they noticed my husband bringing snacks for them to give me and bringing dinner on his daily visit each night, guess not. Hope you’re holding up. I got a good amount of reading…

“Severest” is a word. It’s the superlative form of “severe” . . . I have a teaching credential in English and can cite sources if need be (cause I’m annoying like that too).

Are the quotations necessary or do you have a reason doubt my diagnosis is severe? I have bipolar type I with rapid-cycling and psychosis. It’s literally the severest form. I used to have over 24 episodes a year. I had active hallucinations. It’s tough to even speak on it when the only image people have of people like…
