jadeddiva commented on jadeddiva's post “My copy of Lies Sleeping, the new Rivers of London book, arrives today...”
@ooshka-babooshka I’m maybe three chapters in and I smiled the whole time - I missed these people so much! Nightingale has already slammed some magic down on people so I’m happpppy
There should always be more Nightingale. I am in a state of denial that the whole book’s over for me and am re-reading bits of it now.
so a racist got utterly demolished in less than 30 seconds on the New Zealand morning news on Monday and it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen
who knew a white guy could be capable of such an iconic response, he knows what’s up and is having none of that shit, every other white guy take notes tbh
I love that he said Pakeha
Can someone write what its being said in this?
Male co-host: We have had a whole heap of feedback regarding Te Tai Tokerau MP Kelvin Davis’s proposal to institute a prison run on Māori values into New Zealand. He’s looking at potentially establishing this prison up north. It isn’t Labour policy just yet, it’s just an idea of Kelvin Davis’s. And this has been really really divisive on our Facebook page this morning. (sarcastically) Here I think we have the single greatest email, the single greatest message we have ever had on breakfast.
(clears throat deliberately) “’Janice’ says: Good morning. I’m sick of hearing that Māori need different treatment. If they don’t want to live in our society, then maybe we should put them all on an island and leave them to it.”
Male co-host: “Janice. That is LITERALLY what happened! That is the history of our country. Last I checked, Māori WERE on an island, they were left to it, and then Pākehā (Māori term for white New Zealanders) turned up and look how that worked out. But thank you very much for that brilliant insight. Goodness me. Unbelievable. Unbelievable, they actually-“
Female co-host: “Actually, you can’t even get angry, you just actually need to laugh and then screw it up and put it under the desk. Just when you thought-“
Male co-host: (mimicking letter) “’Put them all on an island, leave them to it.’ Yeah. What a great idea that is Janice.
I really need “What a great idea that is, Janice.” to be a meme filled with those stupid complete cognitive dissonance bigoted statements.
@some-kinda-sneaky-witch-thief oh my gOD

Emerges from the rock I’ve been under for months...sadly I haven’t seen it yet :( Hopefully tonight!
All set up for a Christmas Eve barbecue. I’m so freakin’ hot now!
*Christmas intensifies*
Happy Christmas Eve everyone!
Just wanted to say, that I love your stories (especially prairie lullaby) and that even if you don't find the inspiration to write more, I really appreciate all of the work you published for us. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this! You are very sweet - everyone here is always very sweet to me about my writing. Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a more appreciative bunch of people than the ones I’ve found in this fandom.

Here it is, my CS Secret Santa gift for the lovely emmaswanchoosesyou. I have so enjoyed getting to know you over the last few weeks, and I hope you enjoy your (slightly early) gift. I took the prompt from this list:
“Hi we’re neighbours and omg are you alright I could smell cooking burning - whoaaa now that’s just embarrassing. Step aside I’ll handle this”

“It’s a good school. It’s a good school,” Emma chanted in her head as she stared at the slip of crumpled paper Henry had thrust into her hand and looked at her hopefully.
It was a mantra she’d adopted ever since she’d enrolled Henry at the place, taken him on a walk-through his Kindergarten classroom and met with the principal who gave her speech about how the school valued its relationship with parents and wanted them to be an integral part of the classroom.
“Oh. OK. Sure,” Emma had said, hoping the demands weren’t going to be too onerous because really, as a single parent who could only work as a bail-bondsperson on limited nights now, Emma wasn’t about to take a lot of time away from work.
At first it had been cute, the invitations that came home to see the work they’d been doing, and Emma had been able to carve an hour out here and there for that. Then there’d been a class trip to the museum and Emma had had to say no, she wasn’t available to come. Which would have been fine and dandy if Henry hadn’t spotted her, dressed in a far too short skirt and waiting on a bail jumper who thought he was hooking up with her fake Tinder profile, while he walked along the street with the rest of his class holding hands and singing happy songs.
It wasn’t so much that Henry had looked disappointed that she had other things to do, it was the looks she got from the other mothers, the ones who wondered just why she thought she could blow off her only son’s first school trip to hang around outside a bar.

Sadly, as I have no new writing for this year (roll on 2018 and the return of my sanity), here is a reblog of the secret santa fic I wrote a couple of years ago for anyone craving Christmas fic. Have a wonderful holiday season and fingers crossed I climb out of the black void of motherhood and work next year and actually get some writing done!
Hi! Sorry to bother you, but is there any chance you plan to update Prairie Lullaby? I love that fic!
Thank you for this note - you are definitely not bothering me at all! I’m just sorry to report that I don’t have a definitive answer on this one. I haven’t written in months and it’s getting harder and harder to see the light at the end of the tunnel - which is me actually continuing what I started. i would love to right more, but until the stars actually align for me, I can’t promise anything.
But I am so glad you have enjoyed the story so far - it’s amazing to me how many people do - and I wish you a wonderful holiday season!

Taika Waititi is a gift

I’m so glad he is talking about how microaggressions load up
Book Discussion
What were your childhood favorite books that no one else seems to know? Not Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, but the book no one else has ever heard of. Mine is Princess from Another Planet.
Mara: Daughter of the Nile, Witch World, and Watership Down.
Oh, and Judy Blume books.
Which Witch by Eva Ibbotson, The Changeover by Margaret Mahy and all the Trixie Belden books I could get my tiny hands on.
*stumbling in 15 minutes late with heart eyes for Rhaegar and Lyanna*
May I recommend the following, best-ever Rhaegar x Lyanna fic from one of my original ride-or-die shipper friends, @joelyjo?
Of Dragons, Roses, and a Second-Hand Match is amazing. Jo is amazing. If you want a complete fic that takes you through Rhaegar and Lyanna’s relationship (and has sex on boats!) then you need to read this.
mryddinwilt replied to your post “Holy shit guys, it’s the interval now so I’ve only seen half of this…”
Wait do you have intervals at your movies?!?!
Haha! Yes, we do!
I think it’s mostly because old bollywood films were just so fucking long? They used to clock in at 3-3.5 hours? Sometimes, they still do.
And intervals are a huge part of the experience now so honestly, they can’t really change it. So even if a movie is teeny lol, they’ll give us a 20 minute break to pee and get more food p much :D
Do you guys not have intervals?
I mean I can’t speak for all Americans but I have never had one. My mom says they had them for longer movies in the 60s and 70s though. I have also been to movie theatres in Indonesia, Cambodia, England, Ireland, Slovakia, and Hungary and never had an interval. Maybe it’s just an India thing because of Bollywood?
NZ had an interval at the movies until the 1980s when the length of the average Hollywood movie was decreasing and we were getting more multiplex type cinemas who wanted to push through more sessions per day - it used to be that you had the 11 o’clocks, the 2 o’clocks, the 5 o’clocks and the 8 o’clocks and those were the rough timings of the sessions across all cinemas. But yeah, I definitely remember everything having an interval at one time.
