Get promoted idiot (i love him)
When I read PHM years ago, noone around me did. I brought it to my bookclub two years ago, and 3 people read it and loved it... and now my feed is full of this wonderful story thanks to the brilliant movie and I'm just so, so happy this book finally gets the love it should get 😭❤️❤️ Shove me your fanart, I loooove to see it! I can't get enough of Grace, Stratt and Rocky! ❤️ Love you all, artists!
There is no drug on earth that can replicate the absolute euphoria of hitting a writing flow state at 2:00 AM. You aren’t even typing anymore. You are a vessel. You are a channel for the gods. The characters are speaking directly into your brain and you’re just the stenographer trying to keep up. You feel like you could fight a bear. You feel like you invented the alphabet

Too cute not to share! 😍😍
Dear authors, when you are writing your characters in the hospital with IVs, I am begging you to remember: there is NO NEEDLE in your character’s arm.
An IV is just a small plastic tube inside the vein. A needle is used to pierce the skin and vessel in order to place the tube (and then secured on the outside of the arm with a sterile dressing) but the needle is removed as soon as the IV is placed. We don’t just leave needles hanging out in your arm.
Please stop describing the needle in your character’s arm; there isn’t one. It’s just a small plastic tube in a sensitive place where tubes don’t usually hang out.
THE MORE YOU KNOW...
You know, I don't think I'll ever get over how that one post I made about women as knights in history, made it all the way to Reddit only for a bunch of redditors to argue that women couldn't actually be knights because:
- "the term is gendered" (it's not, and feminine equivalents were sometimes created specifically for the purpose)
- "they didn't actually do things as knights" (who didn't? The Hatchet women fought the Moors. A few other Orders had women as masters of arms. Both martial and formal examples)
...and a few other reasons that come down to "I don't like imagining my manly men in steel had women in their ranks, girls have cooties".
And the reason I say this is because recently, Wikipedia updated their page on "Knight", specifically adding a section about women with the title of knighthood, and what function they performed. And I know: "Wikipedia is not an academic source"--but every academic institution will accept the sources and articles used to back up wikipages, which confirm what has been said.
Knights were sometimes women. 🤷
I saw this and needed to answer.
The gendered versions of 'knight' come from Romance languages, and literally just change the word to fit the gender of the subject (within a binary). So it isn't like English, where a female knight has always been a 'Dame', but, using Spain as an example, the word for Knight in Spanish is 'Cabellero'. This is the default masculine.
The feminine word for Knight? 'Cabellera'.
Similarly in French: "Chevalier" becomes "Chevaliére".
In Italian, "Cavaliere" becomes "Cavaliera".
Outside of Romance languages, "knight" is just a title for a social rank, so even the English Dame is by default a knight by rank, but may not have the title (although not impossible).
So it's not a silly infantilisation, than using a word for the knightly class and gendering it in a binary, which means we can actually tell that, yes, women as knights existed, enough that the feminine form of the word pops up now and then, so we know it existed.
ooh, where one could read that original post??
Just a note about translations and ... well, patriarchal bullshit.
When you say "Hatchet women fought the Moors" I was like "hey, that seems to be part of my local history, how have I never heard about it?", and when I googled it ... I actually have heard about it, it's the Orden del Hacha from Catalonia (Orde de l'Atxa in the original Catalan). But ... there's something odd going on. Why the fuck in English they have translated like "Order or the hatchet"? You know, in Spanish and Catalan there's no really a difference between "Axe" and "Hatchet": There's a single word for them, "Hacha/Atxa". But in English, there's a difference. A Hatchet is a hand axe, pretty much the smallest one you can think of:
So It's pretty remarkable that whoever translated the name of the order to english first decided to use "Hatchet" and not "Axe". I'm pretty sure if this was a order of men warriors the name would have been pretty different. Specially when THIS was their coat of arms:
So dear academic-who-translated-this-first: Does that look like a hatchet to you, motherfucker?!?!?
Important inclusion I was not aware of, thank you very much friend. :)
I’m going to be chuckling over ‘Does this look like a hatchet to you, motherfucker?!?!?” for the rest of the day.
I have a Cricut, and my primary goal is to make that my delight & everyone else's problem. I was inspired by @jv

Well done! but two half corrections 😆
While number 6 is indeed the Devil's number in Revelation, I was specifically referring to the 1970s horror film The Omen.
The other half correction is for 17. which was actually 24/7/365
(but 13 is right! - and so is everything else 💗🎉)
Saving for a time I'll have time to sit down and write 😆
One year passed and the playlist is almost done.
Almost.
You mean a particular scene, right? Right?
Lovely to see we have spaces where you can gain access to so much literature!
Saving for later!
And all of this at once.
Yes. Also, yes.
You guys know what I love?
Writing.
I love writing, and the art of putting words down when you can't speak them. Writing experiences you can't tell anybody or thoughts you can't explaiin to anybody.
I love the feelings that arise when I write, whether they're negative or positive.
I love the unfinished drafts and the messy ones that are completed but will stay hidden forever.
I love writing about love and family, and life experiences, and bonding, and I love getting to know myself through the things I write.
I love the feeling of accomplishment I get, even after writing 100 words for that day--it's more than 0 and that's something to be proud of.
Reblog if you love writing and everything that comes with it.
I love it, I love it, I love it.
My grandma wanted to be a nurse. But her father didn't allow her to study (he even told her not to light even a candles to save money) and she had to take care of her 7 siblings (all boys of course). Then she married and never got to study properly and regret it deeply. She was so proud that my mum finished a high school and moved to the city and even more proud when my sister and I got our master degrees.
You are the bravest human I have ever met.
Love the movie. Love the book. just a masterpiece.
Oh, they sure know what they are doing. This is very clearly a thirst trap. And I fell into the pit immediately :D
Twilight. Wounded. Naked. In the shower. Oh come ooooon! :D
