Highway Diamonds

This is the search for Life's "Easter Eggs". It's my personal blog about finding the gem in the weeds, the beautiful in the mundane, and fascination in what can be a weary world... Info re me: I'm Meg! I'm a bona fide nerd who loves: books, art, music, cute stuff, period dramas, Jane Austen related stuff, costume & fashion history, feminism, public health & policy issues, body positivity, sex positivity, and funny stuff. About the blog: This place may run on a queue occasionally. It's relatively clean 'round here, but my mind is a dirty place sometimes. I post my poetry once in a blue moon. Important note: READ MY TAGS. They are the secret sauce in this blog burger, ok? Lastly, the old school info: I'm a cis woman with she/her pronouns. Chronologically I'm.... Well I'm rarely logical so who cares?😜 (but if it’s an issue, yes I am WELL over 18 ok?) And sticking with the school vibe, three mottoes to keep in mind: per veritatem vis, disciplina in civitatem, and scholae nullo motto. 😘✌️💖🦄

idk who needs to hear this but jane austen is genuinely really funny. people who think she writes boring books where nothing happens, i get why you think that because society has told you that but please enjoy this banger from just the first couple of chapters of pride & prejudice:

“How pleasant it is to spend an evening this way. I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading. How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book. When I have a house of my own I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.” No one made any reply. She then yawned again, threw aside her book, and cast her eyes around the room in quest for some amusement.

this is funny! we all know people who are like this!

anyway look up pride and prejudice read by elizabeth klett, she does an incredible job and it’s free!

On opening the door, she perceived her sister and Bingley standing together over the hearth, as if engaged in earnest conversation; and had this led to no suspicion, the faces of both as they hastily turned round, and moved away from each other, would have told it all.

I put every bird I could think of into this wheel. Spin the wheel. You're that bird now.

Thoughts?

WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK

Hell yeah brother

Could be worse

I mean I'd rather not be a bird but I like how I look

I'd rather not be a bird but at least I can fly

My bird can't even fucking fly.

I hate you. I hate you and all that you stand for

‘There could have never been two hearts so open, no tastes so similar, no feelings so in unison, no countenances so beloved.’ - Persuasion, Jane Austen

women’s bodies weren’t “made” to do anything, nature didn’t “intend” anything, no human action is “unnatural” and there is no inherent “purpose” to a human life

[iamthetruestrepairman]

people weren’t designed to do anything because they weren’t designed at all. Hope this helps 🤩
