"The Other Bennet Sister" by Janice Hadlow

[austenacious]

“My Dear Hill,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and excellent spirits. It has been too long since I last wrote and I am aware that my change in circumstances may not have reached you, so allow me the pleasure of sharing now.

I am most pleased to inform you that I am recently married. Yes, Hill - married! My husband, Mr Thomas Hayward, is a wonderful man, a lawyer who loves books almost as much as I. He is possessed of a fine mind and a most admirable regard for temperance. We were united in a modest ceremony surrounded by a few dear friends, and I must say I felt perfectly at peace throughout! I have included some cake from the ceremony for you to enjoy - I hope it has made its way to you in one piece!

We have settled in London, in a modest but well-appointed house not far from Westminster Bridge where Mr Hayward has started a new position. I have great satisfaction in arranging and-”

Mary Bennet/Tom Hayward: Every admirer is a secret admirer if you're unable to pick up on social cues.

Ryland Grace and his popularity as a character feels like such an important step in repairing the cultural tsunami left by the long running trope of every genius character needing to be an insufferable asshole to everyone in a ten mile radios about it.

Conversely, Eva Stratt is doing wonders for repairing and inspiring a appreciation for commanding women with dubious moral convictions who are fully willing to bend laws for the greater good without hesitation.

And together they are doing brilliant things by not kissing or hooking up even once.

Edwin's love confession and Charles's subsequent response are two of the best things to happen in this overarchingly wonderful show. Like, even after being eaten by Baby Doll Spider all day, Edwin's breath is still hitching when he breathes out that I love you. This is still scary because Hell isnt the unthinkable. Losing Charles is. But he trusts him anyway, and he's vulnerable with him anyway, because that's how deep and steady his love is. And Charles, he has NEVER been so sure of anything as he is that he loves Edwin and would only go to Hell for him. No one else. The shape of the love doesn't matter as much as the fact of it to Charles.

Discussions of trans women in sports often focus on elite/professional sports which honestly I find it hard to care about but the more common scenario of “we’re going to legally ban a high school girl from playing sports with her friends because she’s trans” is just profoundly evil

[zzzucker]

i remember when utah's (republican) governor ended up vetoing a law banning transgender students from playing high school sports when he looked at the numbers, and there were only four trans students in the state playing sports at all. he released a clumsily worded but surprisingly compassionate statement about the decision.

I must admit, I am not an expert on transgenderism. I struggle to understand so much of it, and the science is conflicting. When in doubt, however, I always try to err on the side of kindness, mercy, and compassion. I also try to get proximate, and I am learning so much from our transgender community. They are great kids who face enormous struggles. Here are the numbers that have most impacted my decision: 75,000, 4, 1, 86 and 56. 75,000 high school kids participating in high school sports in Utah. 4 transgender kids playing high school sports in Utah. 1 transgender student playing girls sports. 86% of trans youth reporting suicidality. 56% of trans youth having attempted suicide. Four kids and only one of them playing girls sports. That’s what all of this is about. Four kids who aren’t dominating or winning trophies or taking scholarships. Four kids who are just trying to find some friends and feel like they are a part of something. Four kids trying to get through each day. Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few. I don’t understand what they are going through or why they feel the way they do. But I want them to live.

of course, it didn't amount to much. they overrode his veto. it's just so cartoonishly evil. an entire state's political body so desperate to terrorize this one little trans girl.

DÓNAL FINN | HADESTOWN | EPIC I

[eddie-redcliffe]

This City now doth, like a garment, wear The beauty of the morning; silent, bare, Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie Open unto the fields, and to the sky; All bright and glittering in the smokeless air. Never did sun more beautifully steep In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill; Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
