someone asked me what fifty shades of grey was the other day and I was stumped as to what answer I could give that definitely wouldn’t prompt further questions.

“What’s 50 Shades of Grey?”

“Oh dear, that’s a very complicated question. Let me start at the beginning: in the 1820s, Joseph Smith started a new religion called Mormonism, which grew rapidly before…”

Unrelated to this movement, in 1897 the Irish author Bram Stoker published a book called Dracula; although this was not the first work in the vampire fiction genre, it established much of the framework of how future works would be viewed, even when they deliberately avoid some of the tropes.

The Pacific Northwest (PNW), sometimes referred to as Cascadia, is a geographic region in western North America bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the west and (loosely) by the Rocky Mountains on the east. Though no official boundary exists, the most common conception includes the Canadian province of British Columbia (BC) and the U.S. states of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Broader conceptions reach north into Southeast Alaska and Yukon, south into northern California, and east to the Continental Divide to include Western Montana and parts of Wyoming. Narrower conceptions may be limited to the coastal areas west of the Cascade and Coast mountains. The variety of definitions can be attributed to partially overlapping commonalities of the region’s history, culture, geography, society, and other factors.

While the concept of fanfiction is a relatively modern concept related to the rise of copyright law, the concept of creating fiction using the ideas and characters from a previous work of fiction is historically well-attested right from the literature of Ancient Greece where authors worked and reworked already existing myths into new genres.

While the rise of the Mormonism movement and Bram Stoker’s Dracula may appear unrelated, both share an aversion to traditional aspects of Christianity such as the Eucharist and crucifix….

(Which is probably why holy water and crosses don’t hurt twilight vamps. They hold no religious significance to Meyer (or conversely may be associated with satanism to her) and would seem like silly superstitions to incorporate into her vampire universe)

My husband and I developed a theory so please play along and tell me where you are in birth order (oldest, middle, youngest, only) and if you think having siblings is overall a positive or negative thing.

FedEx: shits on my box, stomps on my box, kicks it, dumps gasoline on it, throws one of my chickens into the back of the van UPS: whispers at my front door “is anyone home” as quietly as possible before leaving a “we missed you!” note, tries to gaslight me into thinking my address doesn’t exist USPS: sets my package down gently where it’s not visible from the road, knocks on the door and kisses me directly on the mouth

Is this…shipping discourse?

[frances-baby-houseman]

Amazon once threw a package at my door and then took a photo while it was midair. Not sure where that fits in this schema but I did want to tell y’all about it.
