My Dad had two...one black and one brown...of fine Italian leather. They were his way to keep all of his important stuff together when he was traveling. He was very secure in who he was and didn't care a fig what anybody thought. Be glad you've got the same kind of Dad.

On one level, I would absolutely love to believe this was a genuine picture of the Bronte sisters

But then I keep remembering all the accounts of Charlotte Bronte: “Plain,small, mousy, not pretty at all. She was aware she wasn’t pretty.”

And, I’m sorry, but that woman in this photo, with her cold, blazing, crazy eyes is fucking gorgeous.

strangeexistence-deactivated201

you never know though it could be her. To be honest I think we’re all hard on ourselves and we tend to see ourselves uglier than we really are. for charlotte it was more of her teeth and large fourhead that made her seem offputing to some, but her eyes were the brightest of gems. no one could take those away from her.

childofthebroccoli-deactivated2

Is that really them?

mysharona1987

It’s a very controversial photo. It could be. But it might not be.

We’re never going to know, probably.

lunartickle

although i dont know much abou the bronte sisters, she might look stunning to us in the 21st century, but maybe she wouldnt be considered pretty during her time. Im pretty sure strong jaws werent considered pretty on a woman during the 19th century. And hers could cut glass

mysharona1987

One thing that matches with contemporary accounts:

Anne and Emily looked very alike, but they both looked quite different from Charlotte. Several people commented on that at the time.

naejpink

Whether it's actually the Bronte sisters or not there's doubt who commanded the situation and the attention here. One is looking straight at the camera. The other two are looking at/to her. A picture is worth a 1000 words, if you really look and see. I think all of them are beautiful in their own right, just as every woman is! You accept people for who they are.

uomo-accattivante

Chris Weitz is making Operation Finale pull all of their advertising from Laura Ingraham’s show, The Ingraham Angle. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

This is what caused all the drama.

naejpink

This isn't drama. This is karma.

"The America we know and love doesn't exist anymore." Oh, really? We know who the "we" refers to. Her fear (mongering) is based on our country's terrible history. The Native Americans felt the same way all those years ago when another group of immigrants showed up.

People of good will (for all) must speak with their voices and vote with their dollars and their ballots. It's time to stop shucking and jiving and get down to business.

IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST

OR ‘PEAKED’

BUT PIQUED

‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’

THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA

owlbearcounter

THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY USEFUL THANK YOU

ranetree

ADDITIONALLY:

YOU ARE NOT ‘PHASED’. YOU ARE ‘FAZED.’

IF IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG DAY, YOU ARE ‘WEARY’. IF SOMEONE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS, YOU ARE ‘WARY’.

ALL IN ‘DUE’ TIME, NOT ‘DO’ TIME

‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’

THANK YOU

BREATHE - THE VERB FORM IN PRESENT TENSE

BREATH - THE NOUN FORM

WANDER - TO WALK ABOUT AIMLESSLY

WONDER - TO THINK OF IN A DREAMLIKE AND/OR WISTFUL MANNER

AND FOR FUCK’S SAKE, IT’S NOT “SIKE”; IT’S “PSYCH”. AS IN “I PSYCHED YOU OUT”; BECAUSE YOU MOMENTARILY MADE SOMEONE BELIEVE SOMETHING THAT WASN’T TRUE.

THANK YOU.

IT’S ‘MIGHT AS WELL’. ‘MIND AS WELL’ DOES NOT MAKE GRAMMATICAL SENSE.

SLEIGHT - DEXTERITY, ARTIFICE, CRAFT (FROM ‘SLY’) SLIGHT - VERY LITTLE, FRAIL, DELICATE

IT’S ‘SLEIGHT OF HAND’.

CAN I ADD TO THIS TOO?

IT’S NOT ‘COULD OF’, THAT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER. IT’S ‘COULD HAVE’. SAME APPLIES TO ‘SHOULD HAVE’.

And this is why my students look at me as though I’m the devil when I try to tell them that no i’m not lying this really is a thing

IT’S ‘COULDN’T CARE LESS’ NOT ‘COULD CARE LESS’ IF YOU COULD CARE LESS THAT MEANS YOU CARE

haiku-robot

it’s ‘couldn’t care less’ not ‘could care less’ if you could care less that means you care

^Haiku^bot^0.4. Sometimes I do stupid things (but I have improved with syllables!). Beep-boop!

Please check out Homophones Weakly.

It’s a treasure trove.

And a goddamn delight.

Reblogging, but knowing folks will continue to fuck up “definitely”. 😩😩😩

naejpink

And there's a new one recently that I've heard people of a certain demographic say

I did it on accident. No

You did it BY accident.

And there, their and they're trips people up.....still.

There is a place.

Their is a possessive, as in it belongs to them.

They're....contraction for They are.

Lord, we could go on all night.

So why do it??

I like getting jobs and being treated like a human so sometimes you gotta fake laugh

Careful. Once you start the faking it never stops. The creep happens. You fall back on it, on the regular and, one day, you have look hard to find yourself...to find your way back...to you.
