Yes I do! brb looking for the kindle edition on Amazon immediately.

I haven’t seen it yet, but I need something to raise my spirits after bingeing on The Handmaid’s Tale earlier this week, so this sounds like it will fit the bill! :)

Oh my god I just looked this up and you’re right and my heart is so happy rn <3 <3 <3

The Emma Thompson S&S is my favorite Austen adaptation of all time. The cast is stunning (so much love for Alan Rickman) and it’s beautiful and sad and funny and cathartic and everything I wanted an adaptation of that novel to be. Hugh Laurie and the woman playing Mrs. Palmer crack me up so much (they are hands down…

I suspect that most people’s hatred of Sansa comes from a place of misogyny. She’s one of the most overtly feminine female characters and she comes across as passive for much of the series. She internalizes what happens around her rather than acting out. Yes, she was sometimes kind of a shitty adolescent (but then,…

THIS. When I taught this novel to my 11th grade English class last year this was one of the things that was most shocking to them. They couldn’t understand why women like Serena Joy actively sought the oppression of other women and why they were so complacent about their own oppression. In fact, many of them told…

Well... the graph in the actual article is labeled thus:

I’m actually really surprised jeans and shorts are ok with United if leggings aren’t. I’ve been a pass rider on Air France, Delta and Air Tran. While Air France and Delta were pretty cool with me being comfortable as long as I wasn’t sloppy, especially on international flights, Air Tran literally made me buy a new…

I HAVE BEEN WANTING VOMIT AND MERMAID EMOJIS FOR SO LONG! I can’t tell you how frequently I will use these. Like, I’m sending this post to my mom immediately she’s going to be so happy.

Former APS kid here as well! :)

I went to Atlanta Public Schools for grades 3-8. As with any school system, I had some phenomenal, dedicated teachers and some pretty iffy teachers. But I’d love to share some highlights:

That is BEAUTIFUL.

I am strongly considering getting a “nolite te bastardes caborundorum” tattoo. It just feels deeply appropriate right now.

OMG that is genius!!!

You can be pro-Israel and still be an anti-Semite, according to many Jewish leaders in America.

I agree. “Homophobia” sounds quite passive, all things considered. Some people have begun calling it “homoantagonism” instead, which seems more of an accurate description.

it’s like my own voice is very far away

You deserve ALL of the stars

My mom said the same thing about feeling terrified when Obama was elected the first time.

Thank you for this post, and especially for the resources. You’re right, we haven’t been fighting to support Native Americans in the past, and the only reason we are doing it now is because it’s trendy. White liberals can be shitty in that way (myself included). I’ll try to be better in the future.

Language loss is definitely something to worry about. It might not be on the same level as violent crime, but identity and culture are deeply tied to language and are incredibly important for humans, perhaps even more so for humans who have been marginalized. When we lose a language, we lose a huge amount of the…
