This month I’ve decided to participate in an event called “October,” where for every day in October I’m going to experience a day in October.

Here’s the prompt list I’m using in case anyone wants to join me in this challenge:

Next month I’m thinking of trying out the “No November November” challenge, where I’ll refrain from experiencing November for the whole month of November.

someone with speech difficulties is not "refusing to speak" to piss you off specifically. whether someone is able to speak or not is completely out of their control, and I can promise that you getting annoyed at them (or choosing to ignore their other communication methods) isn't helping

From an archivist/special collections person

There is a world of difference between Lizzo playing James Madison’s 200 year old crystal flute belonging to the Library of Congress and a Kardashian wearing Marilyn Monroe’s custom made dress.

Lizzo handled it with care and respect. The object wasn’t altered or damaged in the short period she handled it. It was immediately returned, after a very short time with Lizzo, to the custom case and protection. We love to see it.

[theprofessional-amateur-deactiv]

I would also add, it was offered to Lizzo by the library of Congress, not Lizzo asking/demanding access. Lizzo also did a tour of the flute collection with the staff that cares and manages that collection, and I can promise that involved a speech about handling and such before she was able to use anything. The Library of Congress has stated that many of the instruments in their collection have been donated with the specifications that they be played.

This is miles apart from wearing a fragile textile garment that was custom made (including dyed to match Marilyn Monroe’s skin and even sewing her into it) for a specific person. Wearing textiles puts stress on them, wearing old textiles really puts stress on them. Playing a flute is no where near that level.

Archives and historical collections are meant to be used. But not all use is the same.

Not to be that person but I feel like sometimes Shrek being so memeable prevents people from seeing how truly revolutionary and radical the first two films really were. A children’s fairy tale that argues that no, ugliness does not mean bad and beautiful does not mean good. A fairy tale that argues that everyone deserves love, even those cast out of the margins of society. A fairy tale that dares to have a female protagonist not be conventionally attractive or helpless. A fairy tale that argues that love does not happen at first sight, but is grown through mutual respect and interest. That’s pretty fucking sick if you ask me
