"Well, if I can be of any help to the Times--"

"We won't be bribed, either," said William. He knew he was galloping in among the sharpened stakes here, but he'd be damned before he'd be patronized.

"Bribed?" said Vetinari. "My dear sir, seeing what you're capable of for nothing, I'd hesitate to press even a penny into your hand."

Today I am remembering

The Emeritus Professor of Greek who asked me if I knew the meaning of the name of my own organisation (Allographic). He was very excited to tell me, even though I’d already answered in the affirmative, and in detail.

(I am also remembering quite how long it took me to launch the damned thing, because I spent so long agonising over the name.)

Enthusiasm I get. I grok with. Enthusiastically. Infodumping? Sharing nerdy passions? Absolutely. More of that please. This was, at best, unfortunate communication skills...

“ no ? ”   he muses ,  leaning back in his seat  as he finally watches her parents leave ,  amused smile pulling at the corners of his lips .  “ because that’s not what were you were telling me yesterday . ”  he’s teasing ,  of course   ----    he didn’t have much chance to between the painfully awkward dinner with her parents the night before and the meetings he was swept into afterwards ,  so he’s making up for it now .   laughing gently ,  he finishes off his drink from breakfast ,  eyeing her all the while .   “ you know ,  i don’t quite understand why you let them treat you like that . ”   he says , setting the goblet back down as his tongue skims his lips .  “ you were more than happy to corner me when the rest of the UNIVERSE would have run in the other direction .  what qualms do you have with your parents ?  surely you do not fear them ? ”

I'm so insecure about rereading books in public because people are always looking at me knowingly and I'm just like "I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT I'VE ALREADY READ THIS STFU"

Birds of prey and machism

I made a comment about feminism and “birds of prey” and how i thought it was actually good and 2 minutes later i had 94328719328 men coming to me offended, calling me hembrist,claiming i had no taste and no objetctive critic etc etc

And i’m...

how PREDICTABLE can you be?

In my comment i stated how men dismished movies with female main characters or all-female movies without real argument. I complaint about all the men who hate these films claiming to be “comic fans” or “objetive” or bkablabla were just mysoginist and idiots and how male superhero movies dont receive the same bad critics for the same things that female-ones do. I STATED things.

And, seriosuly, now i have comments of men everyday and it’s exhausting how idiots and shortbrained they are. It’s so tiring answering to people who have no self-criticism. I have ZERO patience for machism. I have zero patient for men being patronizing and believing themselves better or more intelligent. I laugh to all of the people caliming that feminism have no function because there is no machism. EXCUSE ME? NO. I have a boy calling me hembrist for calling him out for his machism. Calling me “one of those feminist” “who hurted you” “you are crazy” “if you have a couple or a friend boy your ideology will end up killing him”(lol the one killed every day are women idiot, not machist, i wish) ZERO BRAIN CELLS AND SO PREDICTABLE AGH

I hate arguing with men xd there is no point. it make lower my IQ :’)
