While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a slapping,

As of some one gently flapping, flapping at my chamber door.

“’Tis some fairy,” I muttered, “slapping at my chamber door—

            Only this and nothing more.”

Pixel post dividers for everyone! It's not much, but feel free to use them if you'd like. I don't know the ideal size for these, so let me know if they're too tall. I can make them a bit shorter next time.

picking up an interesting-sounding historic fiction only to find out it's a split chronology narrative that's going to make you also sit through the modern storyline that's NEVER as interesting

Everyone say thank you to trans femmes for showing us a version of femininity born from joy and desire instead of just through coercion

Everyone say thank you to trans mascs for showing us a version of masculinity born from joy and desire instead of just through coercion

Everyone say thank you to all people outside of the cis gender binary for showing us a version of gender born from joy and desire instead of just through a simple frame work in which our oppressor have used to kill, erase, and censor us.

Thank you for showing us the existence of a history before and a future ahead.

Maurice Sendak (1928–2012), regarded as the 20th century’s most important children’s book illustrator, was born in Brooklyn to Polish-Jewish immigrants. His ill health as a child and the loss of relatives to the Holocaust impacted his work, with his obituary in the New York Times noting that he “wrenched the picture book out of the safe, sanitized world of the nursery and plunged it into the dark, terrifying and hauntingly beautiful recesses of the human psyche.” His big break came in the early 1950s, when renowned children’s book editor Ursula Nordstrom, of Harper & Row, hired him to illustrate children’s books after seeing the window displays he created for F.A.O. Schwarz. Nordstrom went on to be his most significant collaborator. By the mid-1950s, Sendak began writing and illustrating his own books. While living in a duplex apartment (basement and ground floor) at 29 West 9th Street in Greenwich Village, where he moved in 1962, he completed the text and illustrations for his best-selling picture book, Where the Wild Things Are (1963). His family in Brooklyn inspired the story for the book, which earned Sendak the prestigious Caldecott Medal in 1964. A selection of other books that Sendak worked on from his 9th Street art studio include The Animal Family (1965; illustrations only), Higglety Pigglety Pop! (1967), and In the Night Kitchen (1970). He also served as an early member of the National Board of Advisors for the Children’s Television Workshop, which was then developing Sesame Street (1969-present); Sendak’s Bumble Ardy (1970) and three other animated stories appeared on the show. In 1970, he became the first American to win the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for illustrators.

His 9th Street art studio, connected to the kitchen-dining room by a long, narrow corridor, was described as “small, dark, nestlike and thronged with books, records, drawings and artifacts” in a 1970 New York Times article. The only light in the room hung above his drawing board. The article calls Sendak a “42-year-old bachelor” and mentions his “friend,” psychoanalyst Eugene Glynn, who was actually his life partner (the couple lived together for 50 years, until Glynn’s death in 2007). Towards the end of his life, Sendak acknowledged that he had kept his homosexuality hidden from his parents and the public, knowing that bias toward him being a gay man working in children’s literature would have negatively affected his budding career. In 1972, Sendak (with Glynn) moved to Ridgefield, Connecticut, where he lived until his death. President Bill Clinton presented him with the National Medal of Arts in 1996. The Maurice Sendak Collection, which includes original artwork, books, and other items, was donated to the University of Connecticut in 2018. (Full article)

I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.
