full offense but I just want to be an affluent woman living in a sizable estate in Regency England where all I do is read and take strolls in my garden
Emma, the Sweetest and Best of Creatures
Emma is unlikable for a couple reasons, mostly her treatment of Miss Bates, but also because unlike the other heroines, her life seems charming at first glance. She is wealthy, she had devoted parents in both Mr. Woodhouse and Mrs. Weston, she had a massive home, and no need to marry. Most women of the era would kill for that deal, but they would not note the drawbacks that make Emma’s life both difficult and her forbearance admirable.
Emma devotes her entire life to the comfort of her father, going so far as to almost give up on marrying the love of her life because Mr. Woodhouse cannot stand it (She could not bear to see him suffering, Ch 55). She invites Mrs. and Miss Bates over to her home consistently because he likes them, even though she understandably cannot stand Miss Bates. She does everything she can to make sure he is not distressed, including not enjoying Christmas visits so she can referee her sister and brother-in-law (Ch 11). Her life is one of constant sacrifice to his eccentricities and she gets very little back out of the relationship, her father, “could not meet her in conversation, rational or playful” Ch 1.
Emma has nothing in her life beyond Hartfield and Highbury. Her sister lives only half a day’s journey away but she cannot visit her. She can walk to Donwell Abbey and yet hasn’t been there for two years (most likely on account of her father). It is understandable that she is bored, which has led to her meddling. But also understandable that she is loath to give up the very few female friends she has (I only want to keep Harriet to myself Ch 8) and why she gets annoyed with Miss Bates. She has no variety in her life or escape from her irritations.
Also, it is clear in the horrible chapter of the Box Hill visit that Emma made a mistake after having a terrible day. It took a lot for her to breech decorum and insult Miss Bates: the day was hot, no one was talking, Emma was annoyed that Mrs. Elton was invited, and Frank was egging her on. Normally, she is far more judicious when she speaks. I feel claustrophobic when I read that chapter, I’m shocked more of them didn’t slip.
I think it is also fair to ask ourselves why Emma is far more hated than Darcy, even though they share many traits. Both Darcy and Emma are snobby/arrogant, do not like being criticised, meddle in their friend’s love lives, are extremely generous to the poor and their servants (Mrs. Weston is an employee who Emma treats like family, Emma both visits the poor and sends an entire hindquarter of pork to the Bates), devoted to the care of their families, and are disgusted by associating with vulgar people. Yet Darcy is loved and Emma is hated, even by the end of the novel. Yes, Darcy apologises better and he saves Lydia, but he is a man and he has far more power than Emma ever will in this society.
I will admit, It is hard to accept how Emma treats Harriet at the end of the book and I do prefer the 2020 version where she apologises to Robert Martin, but I also think it is unrealistic. Emma has to operate within her allowable limits: she isn’t even on friendly terms with the Martins, she cannot visit them, she can’t send RM to London to meet Harriet. So Mr. Knightley does it instead. Because… for all of Emma’s wealth and power, she is still a woman in Regency England.
Emma: Faultless in spite of all her faults

‼️PLEASE READ, RENT DUE FOR ORPHANAGE‼️
Yazid is the caretaker for an orphanage in Bugiri, Uganda named God Provides Orphanage and Ministry, which cares for and schools over 50 orphans as well as struggling families. The rent for the orphanage is due at the end of the month and they currently have $10/$400. The payment needs to be made or else Yazid will have to give up the orphanage.
We were able to get the $100 needed for food so thank you guys! But unfortunately the monthly rent payment is due as well.
If you have a couple dollars to spare, it will go a long way! Even a couple USD can amount to a lot in Uganda because of the conversion rates. Anything really helps!
You can find out more information about Yazid and his orphanage by checking out @/mahougirlmaddie and @/godprovidesministry01

It's raining a lot here in Brazil. A lot, in a city it rained the equivalent of a whole year in 3 days. So you figure that a lot of people lost their lives, their homes and their loved ones
I can't possibly imagine the pain they are feeling and the lack of hope. As I was watching the news today I saw some of the donations that the survivors were getting and an accessory caught my attention:
Not these, but a similar pair.
So, for a minute, put yourself into one of the survivors shoes. You just lost your home, with all the things that you treasured. You're living where your kids used to go to school. You might be unemployed, you lost family members and friends. You're hungry, you're cold, you don't know what future holds to you and you have to check the donations just to have something to wear and you see this.
Fucking red pumps.
You lost everything and some clueless chick decided that her 2008 pumps that haven't been seen on Instagram for over a decade are exactly what you need. What you deserve.
Not something comfortable, to give you a sense of comfortableness, during these troubling times. Not something practical, for when you go looking for a place to live, or to remake your documents, or even perhaps to find a new job, because after all, you can't live in a school forever. You are a survivor, but God forbids you become a burden for the people that instead of sending you something you might find a good use, send you their shit.
I know the world isn't kind right now. People are dying and sometimes you feel hopeless, because there are so many people that need your help and you don't have all the resources. But think, use that beautiful organ you were born with.
Think. Not about what you find beautiful, but what would you need if you were in those people's shoes. Don't send them dirty clothes, don't send them the shoes you don't want anymore but you don't get rid of it because they cost a lot.
Send them things they will need, think about a capsule wardrobe
Good, wearable clothes, that one can go look for a job, get groceries, find a place to live, hug their children. If you don't have the pieces, no problem. Send them soap, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, send them water, food, send them money, but don't send people what you don't want. Because nobody deserves to be treated as trash, as if their lives are as disposable as your fucking red pumps.
Okay, I'm going to keep this short.
This invasion is not about the US. What Russia is doing is wrong. Not all Russian citizens should be condemned for their government's actions. Ukrainian people deserve support. There is so much misinformation out there and I encourage you to look into things further or ask actual Ukrainian blogs on Tumblr. World War 3 memes aren't funny. Don't send hate to every Russian blog on Tumblr. Try to educate with thorough research and double check facts and elevate Ukrainian voices.
You should stand with Ukraine. I don't care which party you support and I don't care who you voted for in 2020. It doesn't matter. Support Ukraine and check your facts. Listen to the first-hand experience of Ukrainians. Stand with Ukrainian people.
It’s rare I talk about personal stuff on here. But my country was invaded by our hostile next-door neighbor in the wee small hours of the morning, so I’m going to get personal.
I’m enraged, I’m upset, I’m terrified, and I wish I could say I was surprised. This invasion started when Crimea was invaded eight years ago. This new assault is just phase 3, after Crimea and the Donbas. Putin has made it clear he wants to take all of Ukraine. He has made it clear that he believes Ukraine and Ukrainians do not have the right to exist.
In short: shit is going to get bad. I was able to speak to my uncle, an aunt, and one of my cousins before I went to bed. I’m hearing mixed things about whether or not my hometown of Lviv has been hit, but I’ve been able to confirm that my family is okay for now.
Please advocate for Ukraine. Call your reps/MPs and demand sanctions and military aid. Double and triple check your sources before posting anything - Russia propaganda is everywhere. If you are the praying kind, we welcome your prayers. If you have any questions about Ukraine, please ask! I’m always happy to share about our history and culture.
And if you would like to support Ukraine and Ukrainians financially, I recommend the following organizations:
Save Life will send funds directly to the Ukrainian army.
Hospitallers is a volunteer battalion comprised of civilian and military doctors.
Let’s Help supports Ukrainian elderly.
Blood Agents supports blood donation efforts.
Ukrayinska Pravda is one of the most influential and groundbreaking newspapers in Ukraine.
Insight supports LGBTQ Ukrainians
Normally, I don’t make these posts, but I didn’t see anything about this yet, and this is dire news.
Texas is currently in a state of crisis. Greg Abbott signed a very dangerous law that will endanger trans youth and their families. The official statement is here.
Also keep in mind, he has also been found out those power surges were deliberate. Many skeptics are thinking this was signed into law to avoid people not paying attention to this tidbit of information.
He is literally endangering the people he is supposed to govern, no matter who you are. Please pay attention on what you need to do. Please make a ruckus and spread the word and stay safe.
Texans: If you have more information about this or I am incorrect, please let me know. Resources will be helpful too. Any hate or trolls will be blocked and I do not intend to engage and ask you don’t either. What matters is that this is spread around for those who need to see this.
Trans kids and parents of trans kids living in Texas: The Governor just issued a dangerous order declaring all forms of gender affirming care as child abuse under existing law.
Under this directive, all persons working with children, including doctors, teachers, counselors, and caregivers, are required to report any child believed to be transgender or face prosecution. Parents may have children removed from their homes and placed in state custody.
This is an extremely dangerous situation. Parents of trans children: leave the state now. The user below has offered assistance to those looking to get to a safer place. Please reach out to her if you need to. Important information will follow.

Please be safe out there, all of you. I love you and I am so sorry these things have come to pass. Let’s get through this.
I watched one series of a show about interior design and now I’m referring to my sense of style as “maximalist” instead of “hoarding behaviours and a chronic lack of focus as a result of long term mental illness”
I’m so sorry about the awful crime done against your brothers and sisters. My heart is with you and yours.
May Allahﷻ grant them paradise, ease the pain of their families, and make our mosques more full than they’ve ever been before. We fear no one, we will continue to go to mosques, wear our hijabs, and be proud of being Muslims. We do not fear people, we do not fear guns, and we do not fear death. They can kill Muslims but they can’t kill Islam.
And honestly, to be killed for being a Muslim is a death I wouldn’t mind.
“And do not ever assume that those who are slain in Allah’s cause, are dead;
in fact they are alive with their Lord, receiving sustenance.”
[Quran 3:169]
