Trumpers whined non stop about Biden's age regardless of the fact that he NEVER fell asleep at meetings. Orange Voldemort falls asleep all the time, including funerals.

I deserve someone better. Lol my whatsapp reported as spam because I never use it ever again and just using that to call someone who doesn't give a fck about me anymore but telling me otherwise and I just want a fckn explanation.

Okay too many fucks given, that's for sure. I should calm down. Yeah but I couldn't and the truth I feel fuck is okay because it's not swearing on my language but then when I say it on my bahasa yeah it's wrong. And even in bahasa it translate wrong because jan cook is actually a dutch colonizer and back then people just too afraid of this man and he's name become the swearing of javanese language. I mean if fuck translate literally that's not jancok. Okay okay calm the fuck down. What did I tell you just now.

You know I am so done with broken promises. It's like lies, right and I didn't know that whatsapp could block me like that from using my account and I can't dispute the matter because what? I just wanna reach some assholes. Should I open my telegram anymore? Well if only telegram could post 5 min videos though. It's so hard to upload vid on tumblr also and in YouTube everything I said it's a risk to get banned.

Can't say anything at all babe. No one listen to you anyway bwhahaha

🐂🐂🐄 impostor.

Jane Yolen’s HOW TO FRACTURE A FAIRY TALE will make a great holiday gift

THE BOOK WAS BETTER! recommends Jane Yolen’s HOW TO FRACTURE A FAIRY TALE.

Jane Yolen is the godmother of fantasy and fairy tales. I haven’t read her work before, but since reading this book, I will look for her other tales. This is a collection of traditional and some lesser known fairy tales and folklore from around the world, taken apart and put together again like Humpty Dumpty with humor and at times, darkness.

I found myself trying to figure out which tales are based on ones I know. The author kindly has a chapter at the end about how she ‘fractured’ the tales and what the base story is for some on her stories. Many of her fractured tales I enjoyed much more than the originals.

First, thanks to NetGalley and Tachyon Publications LLC for letting me read the ARC for this book. I can see it would be a great holiday gift for lovers of fairy tales or short stories. This could be a good read-to book for kids but some of the stories are definitely adult-there is an incestuous king and gruesome deaths.

I highly recommend this book and rate it [5 stars].

Sleeping Ugly

Princess Miserella was a beautiful princess if you counted her eyes and nose and mouth and all the way down to her toes. But inside, where it was hard to see, she was the meanest, wickedest, and most worthless princess around. She liked stepping on dogs. She kicked kittens. She threw pies in the cook’s face. And she never—not even once—said thank you or please. And besides, she told lies.

In that very same kingdom, in the middle of the woods, lived a poor orphan named Plain Jane. She certainly was. Her hair was short and turned down. Her nose was long and turned up. And even if they had been the other way round, she would not have been a great beauty. But she loved animals, and she was always kind to strange old ladies.

One day Princess Miserella rode out of the palace in a huff. (A huff is not a kind of carriage. It is a kind of temper tantrum. Her usual kind.) She rode and rode and rode, looking beautiful as always, even with her hair in tangles. She rode right into the middle of the woods and was soon lost. She got off her horse and slapped it sharply for losing the way. The horse said nothing, but ran right back home. It had known the way back all the time, but it was not about to tell Miserella.

WAY TOO FANTASY is very excited about the book.

I absolutely love retold fairy tales, and Jane Yolen is a master of the art. When I saw this collection coming out I got really excited–looking forward to diving into it! Also, how great is that cover?!?
