i dont count katsa from graceling as the not like other girls trope for many reasons, starting with that trope requires the main character to hate on other women, usually with slut shaming, comparing other girls to her, and general misogyny. katsa initially calls herself a monster and struggles to find her humanity throughout her story. it is not her comparing herself to other women, it is her comparing herself to the people around her to try and find her humanity and understand her grace. second, katsa is a defender of the women and girls around her. she teaches bitterblue how to defend herself and builds trust between them, doing everything in her power to ensure bitterblue not only survives but thrives. she values hildas input on her life, so much so that she asks her to take care of bitterblue as she took care of her. she respects captain faun, the queen, the serving girls at the inn. she doesnt belittle them for their differences, she doesnt view them as inferior. truly kristin cashore wrote katsa to defy a trope that defined 2000s media by a landslide.

In elementary school, my best friend and I had this game we would play where we were school supplies living inside a child's desk and going on slice-of-life adventures inside it. And I remember that a key component of our school supply society was a sort of religious schism that existed around the purpose and nature of the giant hand that occasionally reached in to grab different citizens, use them, and then return them, because most school supplies considered this an auspicious and enviable moment of being selected for a greater purpose and allowed a glimpse of a vast truth, but pencils considered it a horrible portent of doom because they always got sharpened during it and came back smaller and closer to death. We were third graders btw.

Putting books on hold at the library has the same thrill of ordering books online, but with the added benefit of not losing any money over titles I might not enjoy.

10/10 would recommend.

I need to admit something to the US Tumblrinas. Philadelphia isn't a place to me. It's a cream cheese. You say "philadelphia" or "philly" and I immediately, and exclusively, think of the cream cheese. "Twelve people die in Philadelphia disaster" wow that must've been a Molasses Flood style event

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

No I trust the Americans, the cheese lovers, and the fans of the molasses flood to find this one on their own.

My favorite response to “that’s not a word” is “then why do you know what it means?”

[eshesmites]

Every time someone within 30 miles of me says “that’s a made up word” I am uncontrollably compelled to respond “ALL WORDS ARE MADE UP!”

In a college language class I took, we talked about the Jabberwocky poem and the professor had us try to explain every word in it. When we got to ‘outgrabe’ she asked why it was past tense and my response was “Cause the present tense is outgribe”. Her response was “That doesn’t answer the question but that brings up a better one. Why do you know that?”

Oat milk was discovered much more recently than you may have known. Like many now-familiar technologies, it was found by accident during the Apollo program when NASA learned what a zero-g environment does to goat milk.
