This makes my HEART HAPPY. The Winchester Mystery House is my favorite tourist trap in the entire world and on top of being just the kitschiest is also a beautiful, wonderful work of architecture, surrounded by lovely gardens. Whenever anyone visited us in California from out of state we’d drag them there, so I must have been on the tour at least a dozen times before the age of eighteen.

This is all the better because I haven’t been back since new scholarship has revealed that Sarah Winchester definitely wasn’t deranged or suckered by some random tale of Native American vengeance, and probably wasn’t even all that into the occult. As wonderful as the spookiness of it all is, there’s an even better story behind the Mystery House. We’re now seeing evidence that Sarah Winchester was, in fact, a very frustrated architect who was learning by doing after having her passions stifled for half her life by being A Woman In History, compounded with damage done by the 1906 earthquake. 

If Sarah Winchester nee Pardee had been born a man, the name Pardee might well fall amongst Burnham and Wright as one of America’s early starchitects. I strongly recommend the podcast and article at History Chicks for a fascinating new take on her life and work.

I’ve been making dad jokes for years but my wife and I are expecting our first child and I’ve finally been making dad jokes while actually being a dad.

When we were in the hospital I got my wife a blanket. What was awesome was they were kept in this machine that was specifically made to heat blankets. I laid the blanket over my wife and said, “do you think they keep these at womb temperature?” I heard a nurse laugh for a solid 3 minutes.

My ability to proofread increases by 1000% after I hit “Submit”.

[greaseonmymouth]

this is often because when you’ve submitted something (like fanfiction to ao3) it will be in a different font, size and framing than in your word processor. The text will look different in the new environment so your brain stops skipping what looks familiar (like a typo that has been there since the beginning).

So, tip: revise your work in a different font and size. I guarantee you’ll catch more typos and mistakes than otherwise.
