I got 60 out of 1000 😂
Based on the number of ratings each book has on Goodreads. And if you haven't read them, maybe you can use for a literature bucket list.
I’m sorry, but there was far too much Stephen King and John Grisham on here. I know it was probably just classic literature plus popular books but GEEBUS.
A very bookish Christmas
First Christmas gift, already on chapter six
Personally I love books that put the footnotes at the bottom of the page instead of at the end of the book so that I don’t have to keep flipping back and forth like an absolute barbarian
So I’ve rediscovered LibraryThing lately, and I’ve managed to add a good amount of my household’s books onto it. I’ve been a member for years (almost 13 now) and I hadn’t been back to use it much in the last four or five. Well, turns out now they have a service called TinyCat which can make your LT database look and function like an online catalog for an actual library. I’m sure they’ve had it for ages but I’m still hopelessly in love with it. NOT ONLY THAT: I told my mom about it while she was visiting last week and now SHE has an LT account and a TinyCat library of her own. 📚 💕 Now she has more books cataloged than I do!
That yellow wallpaper looks maddening TO YOU. I get it though.
Despite, or perhaps because of, the power of her critique, Wolf felt it necessary to publish within 3 years another book, Fire with Fire, which substantially removed the sting from her analysis and set out to distinguish her from the ranks of radical feminists. Wolf argues that women are required to engage in beauty practices and that this requirement was tightened in the 1980s as a backlash against the threat of the women’s liberation movement and the greater opportunities, particularly in the workforce, that women were now accessing. As she explains, “The more legal and material hindrances women have broken through, the more strictly and heavily and cruelly images of female beauty have come to weigh upon us”.
- Sheila Jeffreys, “Beauty and Misogyny: Harmful cultural practices in the West”
Jane Austen really said ‘I respect the “I can fix him” movement but that’s just not me. He’ll fix himself if knows what’s good for him’ and that’s why her works are still calling the shots today.
My dad was eating pistachios so I reached my hand out and he just started peeling them and giving them to me. Then suddenly went "I really hope you find someone who loves you a lot" and I went "enough to peel my pistachios for me?" And he laughed and said "yeah exactly" before carrying on giving me more
The Raincoat
by Ada Limón
When the doctor suggested surgery
and a brace for all my youngest years,
my parents scrambled to take me
to massage therapy, deep tissue work,
osteopathy, and soon my crooked spine
unspooled a bit, I could breathe again,
and move more in a body unclouded
by pain. My mom would tell me to sing
songs to her the whole forty-five minute
drive to Middle Two Rock Road and forty-
five minutes back from physical therapy.
She’d say, even my voice sounded unfettered
by my spine afterward. So I sang and sang,
because I thought she liked it. I never
asked her what she gave up to drive me,
or how her day was before this chore. Today,
at her age, I was driving myself home from yet
another spine appointment, singing along
to some maudlin but solid song on the radio,
and I saw a mom take her raincoat off
and give it to her young daughter when
a storm took over the afternoon. My god,
I thought, my whole life I’ve been under her
raincoat thinking it was somehow a marvel
that I never got wet.

This is the only tiktok you’ll ever need, I’ve made about 13 of these and I’m not stopping anytime soon
I’m reblogging again because I did it myself and added pictures for those who have trouble learning from the video.
First take a standard rectangular piece of paper (I used one from a small notebook which I ripped out then cut the holes off)
Then fold in half touching the shorter side to the opposite shorter side.
Fold again making the new shorter side touch the other new shorter side
I did this one more time, but this time I unfolded it right after to get back to where it was only folded twice. It should have left a crease in the paper.
Using this crease, fold the corners up alongside it to look like this
This are also going to be unfolded, but this time you’re going to push in alongside the triangular folds you just made and undid.
Doing this once will result in this
Hold tight because tumblr won’t let me add more pictures. I’ll reblog will the rest of the instructions
Continuing on,
Do the other side of you haven’t already to get this
You’ll open these newly created flap to change which parts are touching
Leaving you with this
Then you start pulling the top “tabs” down
Do both sides to get the final folded form
Decorate as desired.
Hope this helps!
Ratio for the rectangle size is 2:3
So 6 cm by 9cm
I uh, lost an evening:
Thanatos knows that I hecking love cute origami, and moths, so really, what was I supposed to do, scroll past and not take the opportunity to make butterfly and moth page markers???
here’s one i made with a pattern i drew :)
Let's break the bookosphere for Kathleen Stock 📚
Gender-critical lesbian philosophy professor Kathleen Stock resigned from her Sussex University post a few days ago after a concerted harassment campaign from trans activists.
This whole escapade has come across as an attack on free, considered speech, and an attack on critically-thinking women. In general protest, I'd like to propose a 📚 mass book club event based around her latest release, Material Girls: Why Reality Matters for Feminism.
From the blurb:
'Material Girls is a timely and trenchant critique of the influential theory that we all have an inner feeling known as a gender identity, and that this feeling is more socially significant than our biological sex. Professor Kathleen Stock surveys the philosophical ideas that led to this point, and closely interrogates each one, from De Beauvoir's statement that, 'One is not born, but rather becomes a woman' (an assertion she contends has been misinterpreted and repurposed), to Judith Butler's claim that language creates biological reality, rather than describing it. She looks at biological sex in a range of important contexts, including women-only spaces and resources, healthcare, epidemiology, political organization and data collection.'
As part of this mass-reading:
What?
We all read the book
We post quotes, commentary, expand on ideas, put it in the context of other reading, do extra research and engage in relevant discussion (positive or negative) on Tumblr as we go, using the tag #Stockathon (please let me know if you have any better ideas!) to collate all our posts. (Can also bring to twitter, FB groups, any other radfem social media you're on, make private subreddits etc)
Those of us who are interested can also expand to read/discuss her previous academic publications
When?
November 2021, but generally starting whenever the first person starts reading the book and finishing whenever the last person stops! This will be a slow-moving long-haul event. Some may choose to liveblog erratically, some may write long and considered posts months afterwards. There will ideally always be someone to engage with as long as our tagged posts stay up (that's why Tumblr is the ideal platform for this - it's slow-moving, is host to all kinds of people, and has the capacity to host all kinds of written content).
Why?
To promote discussion of relevant literature within the radblr sphere (community-building, critical thought, well-read women are dangerous creatures etc)
In protest of the current Anglosphere campus culture in which gender-critical thinkers are routinely no-platformed and harassed into submission
To protest the notion that students must be protected from certain 'harmful' ideas (radblr skews young, many of us are in higher ed - let's read what they don't want us to read)
If you have the resources to do so, you can buy the book on Amazon (I lament the moral implications but couldn't find it elsewhere - removed from Waterstones website, not yet out in paperback, although you might have more luck on ebay). If you don't have the resources to buy the book, but still have a pet parrot and own an eye patch, you might like this link (as the aim is to get as many people reading as possible).
point taken from @gcdk
Please actually buy the book
You get it as an ebook on nook, kindle, or google play. You can order a physical copy from Book Depository, or pre-order from Barnes and Noble or Bookshop.org. The pre-ordered books won’t arrive until after the event is over, but we should buy them to support Kathleen Stock anyway. She also has a link to an excerpt from the book as well as UK sellers on her website
unpopular opinion but I love it when people write essays for fun on the internet. I don’t think it’s cringe if you’re being polite and coherent and making your own post instead of making unwanted additions to other people’s posts. why say something in a 7 word meme format sentence, faking disaffection and chillness, when you could flesh it out in 7 paragraphs of sincere and substantial nuance. not just for seriousness but for fun concepts, is what i have in mind. for talking about a story or character. for talking about life. talking about anything. this is a wordy person safe zone
GUYS I JUST SAW THIS ON TWITTER AND I AM DYING
Add the author’s reply, cowards!
I scrolled through the notes on this post and my favorite has to be one mockingly accusing Madeline Miller (a Latin and Greek teacher with a Masters in Classics) of needing to do research and she wasn’t a real writer like them.
Anyway when I read that line I immediately understood what she was trying to say.
Inside its dry and musty hull, the smell of old books contains great distances. You sense time travel, of course, but also the soaring aeronautics of ideas. Sometimes a great book sticks the landin…
Guilty. I’m a book sniffer.
WRDSB has developed a framework to identify and remove inappropriate or questionable texts
Here come the book burners!
Focusing on other books to avoid only teaching the books like Lord of the Flies that are “outdated and too focused on white, male power structures”? Great! Please do!
Removing such books from the collection? What a way to disconnect children from the history of literature and literary criticism entirely!
Lord of the Flies is a prime example of a text that can be extremely useful for teaching exactly what WAS and IS STILL wrong with those white, male power structures.
Taking all those books out of the collection is a great way to pretend those structures aren’t still in place.
