I feel like Tom Loftis and River Cartwright would be really good friends. They would understand each other so well.

For starters, both of them have an older man in their corner being mean to them and telling they're fucking everything up and are going to get everyone killed.

And then there's the fact that everything they try to do goes sideways and ends badly for them.

I actually can see them swapping places and the exact same things happening.

Like Tom would definitely kill someone accidentally with a paint can while trying to protect them, just as River would definitely being chased by an unknown entity.

They'd form the ultimate losers' alliance.

I can fix this. But how? I'll say you were lying. You'll do no such thing.

More generously still, he had not only refrained from offers of help and advice which she might have resented; he had deliberately acknowledged that she had the right to run her own risks. "Do be careful of yourself"; "I hate to think of your being exposed to unpleasantness"; "If only I could be there to protect you"; any such phrase would express the normal male reaction. Not one man in ten thousand would say to the woman he loved, or to any woman: "Disagreeableness and danger will not turn you back, and God forbid they should." That was an admission of equality, and she had not expected it of him.

This is so beautiful, the respect that Peter shows Harriet in the face of the danger she may be in. I love that this book is also HER story. Peter is a side character in this book.

every day on tumblr is like this

I can't believe this entore site is not talking about Widow's Bay. Nautical folk horror, it's stephen king it's midnight mass it's also somehow an office comedy. Stephen Root is there. What more could you want?

[smoothbrainwrinkledshirt]

It also has Matthew Rhys being a pathetic little guy…Like really, WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT

easy to miss that one of the reasons maternal mortality is diminished so extremely by modern medicine is that modern medicine makes it so much more possible to identify the pregnancies that will die and take you with them, or are otherwise unacceptably high risk. and then discontinue those ones safely, before it's too late.

thought about this because it's so frustrating when people argue that 'dying in childbirth' is a historical sort of event that doesn't happen nowadays (false) and therefore is irrelevant to the legal status of abortion, since it's not a real danger.

except it super is, and i think a lot of people haven't noticed that this argument in addition to simply being incorrect is basically the same as when people say we don't need vaccines for deadly diseases because no one gets those now anyway.

like yeah one reason for that is we vaccinate everybody ffs.

Note: after the end of Roe v Wade in the US, the maternal mortality rate (and the infant mortality rate) are showing clear increases in the states with the strictest anti-abortion laws.

Forcing people to carry high risk or non viable pregnancies to term kills.
