Feminine like Mary standing at the foot of the Cross. Feminine like St. Joan of Arc stepping into the battlefield. Feminine like St. Catherine of Siena advising popes and kings. Feminine like Mother Angelica berating politicians and world leaders on television. Feminine like Mary Magdalene washing the feet of our Lord with perfumed oil and her hair. Feminine like St. Teresa of Avila writing the Interior Castle in the silence of darkness. Feminine like St. Hildegard of Bingen balancing her role as abbess with writing poetry, play, chants, medicinal treatises, and theological analyses.

I just spent 5 days driving west across the U.S. and I can not stress this enough — America is so American.

What a lot of people don't know about wizards is they fucking love baseball. Not even "wizard baseball" or anything, they just love baseball. There's a big geometric shape on the ground. When the pitcher throws (read: casts) the ball, there's a whole bunch of different names for the result depending on their hand movements while casting and the resultant physical forces. A wooden bat is essentially a hybrid between a wand and a staff. The umpire gets to wear cool headgear. They get to keep meticulous track of the feats of great baseball players of the past and get into arguments about it.

Magi make up at least 1% of the crowd at basically any MLB game, which is kind of insane when you actually stop and do the math on how much of the general population they make up. You go to basically any magic academy in the US or Japan (and to a lesser extent Korea), and if they have enough space for a single sports' field, you can absolutely bet it'll be a baseball diamond.

This is also why baseball players and teams are so prone to being cursed.

not now mom I have to see what my mutuals with masters degrees are blogging about on tumblr

I think society is ready for the return of epic poetry. The Odyssey is popular, beloved adaptations of Greek myths are told entirely in song. All we've got to do is get a celebrity to do a dramatic reading of a book-length poem and I think we can make this genre popular again.

Out of control Edwardian youths refuse to clap at production of Peter Pan, force distraught J.M Barrie to pull out rarely seen "Tinkerbell Fucking Dies" ending

[julianova44]

You probably know this but shitpost ruining fun fact for anybody who doesn’t:

When the play first was performed, JM Barrie et al were so concerned this might happen that they instructed the orchestra to drop their instruments and clap at this point, just in case

[lizardsfromspace]

I did not know this and I'm grateful for being informed

Peter Pan edited by Anne Hiebert Alton (2011)

(sorry to interrupt joke post but) this is true!

Children not clapping did happen too, (and some were even expected to have hissed, which was later written into the 1928 playscript and 1911 novel). But my all time favourite anecdote about it is from Pauline Chase (who played Peter)'s intro to Peter Pan's Post Bag 1909:

Children love to clap their hands at the play because then they feel that they are really part of it, and you can see them holding their hands poised ready to seize an opportunity. Their great chance is when I ask them to clap their hands if they believe in fairies, and so save Tink's life. But they are very wrathful if any one claps who has the reputation of being a cynic, and once there was quite an uproar in the front row of the dress circle because of a girl who clapped. Those about her pulled down her arms angrily. "How dare you clap," they cried, "when you know you don't believe in fairies!" There was one dreadfully hard-hearted little boy who came to the theatre not to clap. That was his object for coming, and he came round "behind" to tell me so in the middle of the play. His teeth were firm set. "I won't clap," he said doggedly; "I'm not going to clap." And when the time came he didn't clap; above the clapping of all the others I could hear him shouting from a box, "Peter, I'm not clapping."

(Tink was revived each time anyway)

I am a certified hater of audience participation but let me tell you, it is almost impossible not to clap during this scene. Even as a full grown adult.

at the end of the day, it’s you and your long distance best friend against the world

Several weekends of work and a couple of burned fingertips later, my 35 Portland Row bookend is finished. 🥳

Made of mostly styrofoam, cardboard, acrylic paint, and copious amounts of hot glue.

It lights up and is a little higher than the height of an A3 piece of paper.

Little details include:

The front door area with the company sign, lavender garden, and the iron line
