rainy day in paris // 2019
Soothing daydream: M*n don’t exist. They never did. You just had a wild “what if” game with your friends last night and had a bad nightmare. You’ll wake up tomorrow in your bed next to your girlfriend in a female tribe, living inside a food forest. You’ll laugh over this at breakfast and forget all about it. There’s no way any of this could ever be. No child or woman ever has been mutilated or forcibly impregnated. There’s no problem of rape. It’s safe to be anywhere. There are no wars. You know everything about female body, and nobody suffers with chronic pain endlessly. There are no wars. The sky is blue. Climate is safe. Air is clear. You slept well for all of your nights. You light fires and worship women and life. Your body is sacred.

Cottagecore inspired ask
Disclaimer – the cottagecore this post is about is centred around the ideal of substantial, autonomous living in harmony with ones neighbours, nature and oneself, away from the rush of modern, capitalist society. Racist, colonialist ideals as well as the Blut und Boden rhetoric have no place here.
Would you rather live in a lone lighthouse that’s overlooking the grey-cool sea, a little cottage in the woods far off the beaten tracks or an old mansion at the outskirts of town with an overgrown garden?
What kind of marmalade or jam is your favourite?
Botany aside – which flowers would you keep in the window box under your bedroom window?
What does your ideal picnic look like? Which food would you pack, where would you go, who would you ask to join you etc…
What’s your favourite recipe?
Which pet would you rather have – a lamb, a cat or a hen?
How would you rather spend a day alone – riding a bike into town to go to the farmer’s market followed by a trip to the library or having a walk in the forest followed by a picnic amongst the trees?
Which season is your favourite? Why?
Would you prefer to live on your own, with inner peace or share your cottage/old mansion/lighthouse with a partner?
Name 5 details from your childhood home that you remember fondly – they could be a scenery, an object, a scent…
Which song(s) would you listen to on a golden-slow morning while making breakfast barefoot in the kitchen?
The scent of the forest in the morning, the scent of freshly baked bread or the scent of beeswax candles?
Would not having a connection to the outside world, except for, say, a landline (so no internet, no smartphone etc) be oppressing or liberating to you?
How do you take your tea or coffee? Which blends do you prefer, do you take sugar, milk, cream, lemon etc. Or, if it’s coffee – do you take milk or sugar etc
Share a treasured childhood memory!
Would you prefer a garden to be aesthetically pleasing with flowers, decorative ponds and statues or practical, with vegetable patches, bean rows and currant bushes…?
Blue early mornings with dew-glittering grass and birdsong or golden late mornings with buzzing bees and the sun tangled in your curtains?
Which book would you read on a lazy day while rain and wind dance outside?
Knitting, embroidery or crocheting?
Name 5 details you long for in your dream home – they could be objects, architectonical features, etc
yeah theres no way to stop using amazon completely because they own so many things and many websites use them for hosting, but audible is something we really dont need. amazon is already trying to replace public libraries with “audible amazon libraries” and we cant let that happen. your libraries are already payed for with taxes ((though normally way underfunded because politicians normally dont care enough))
use libby or overdrive for audiobooks or ebooks, support libraries and buy from their used books sale (ive scored so many awesome books, and old books! as well as some great cds and movies) , and many libraries also mail out books!! theres so many options and libraries are always changing to make themselves more accessible for everyone, so support them! theyre such an important part of your community.
also you can just ask for your library to order a book if they dont have it, or they can borrow it from neighboring libraries in your county or even other counties depending on the place! libraries are the best and when i was homeless they were one of the best resources i could have asked for with free ac, wifi, good bathrooms, and books books books ad well as so many other resources, groups, clubs, events … please support your local library!
HEY! YES! This is important! You can check out books from your local library (along with audiobooks and movies and music too!!) without ever having to leave your home. Here’s some links if you don’t know what OP was talking about: OverDrive, Hoopla
BUT ALSO!! Right now libraries are facing a problem with a new policy from very large publisher called Macmillan that’s due to be enacted in November.
As Jessamyn West explains in her article on CNN:
For the first two months after a Macmillan book is published, a library can only buy one copy, at a discount. After eight weeks, they can purchase “expiring” e-book copies which need to be re-purchased after two years or 52 lends. As publishers struggle with the continuing shake-up of their business models, and work to find practical approaches to managing digital content in a marketplace overwhelmingly dominated by Amazon, libraries are being portrayed as a problem, not a solution. Libraries agree there’s a problem – but we know it’s not us.
52 lends is nothing when it comes to popular books. In essence, this new policy would require libraries to re-purchase the same eBooks over and over just to continue to provide access to their readers.
Libraries already have to go through a lot of hoops and extra expense to provide digital content, and this policy will just make it even harder, more time consuming, and more expensive, thus making it more difficult for libraries to provide eBooks at a time when demand for eBook access at libraries is growing exponentially. Both the ALA and the PLA have come out strongly against thus policy, and it sets a TERRIBLE precedence for other publishing houses and future policies. It’s a bad idea that’s expensive and ultimately punishes the people who need libraries the most.
But YOU can do something about it, right now! Help us tell Macmillan publishing that their new policy is terrible and will adversely affect the people who need digital library access the most!
Check out the ALA’s action page for some great graphics and an auto-tweet form that will let you voice your displeasure to Macmillan directly.
Or you can just copy and paste it into Twitter from here, and add the graphic too if you want:
Limiting access to new titles for libraries means limiting access for readers who are most dependent on libraries. @MacmillanUSA’s new policy is unacceptable, John Sargent. Cancel the embargo. #eBooksForAll
Please help us keep library eBooks accessible for all! Not only will you help your libraries, but as OP explained, the more you use your libraries and other legal means of acquiring digital books and content, the more you take away from Amazon’s unconscionable domination of the eBook and digital content market. It’s a win-win.
Libby has kept me sane through quarantine like nothing else. Take the time to support your local library and follow the links above.
Your library borrowing from other libraries of your behalf is called inter-library loan, and you should absolutely do it

i was 14 doing kinkier shit then i do even now as a 23 year old and i thought it was normal and tbh i want to die every single day over it lmao…………………sex positivity negates all critical thought by labelling criticism as Slut Shaming™ and it’s letting so many CHILDREN get hurt by it
Hairstyles based on those found on mummies and bog bodies :)
Styles based on the Elling Woman (bog body), and a mummified Inca woman. Both women were in their early-mid twenties at the time of death and likely died as human sacrifices. (obviously no relation between the two)
