The problem is I am painfully self aware of everything I fucked up but lack the self control to actually sit down and fix it

My one friend really likes "yo mama" jokes, but she feels bad for saying them to me because my mama's dead, and lately she's been circumventing this by adding "in heaven" to them, a concept I was introduced to with zero warning via a text that said, "Yo mama's so stupid she's in heaven pre-heating the microwave."

hahahaha my extremely strict all girls boarding school is no longer letting kids bring their own books without letting the library examine them. and no this isn't because what if they're inappropriate for teenagers! they just don't want teenagers to read about gay people.

There are only two kinds of stories worth telling: the ones that send children to sleep, and the ones that send men to war.

The idea of “but everyone knows that” needs to stop.

I saw a post about someone chiding Millennials for not knowing about JKRowlings transphobia, and asking how it is at all possible that people can exist in the world and the internet and, you know, not know.

Which I mean, I get. It is so present in so many of my online spaces that it seems astounding that someone could simply be ignorant! It feels impossible!

But let me tell you a story:

I went on a girls trip with a bunch of friends. All of us are rather incredibly liberal and all of us are incredibly online.

One girl would not stop talking about Harry Potter.

At one point, another girl asked her why she was ok with supporting it, and she had no real clue that JK Rowling was at all transphobic. She had heard that she likes to support Lesbian causes and thought “oh ok cool!” And that was it. She was AGOG with the news and rather horrified.

I must once again emphasize that she was an incredibly online person. She’s a foodie and a restaurant blogger.

Later in the trip we were picking restaurants and I suggested one I found on Google, and she gasped at me. Actually gasped, asking how I could ever be okay picking that one.

The shock must’ve been on my face, because she then told me all of the shitty things that restaurateur does. He abuses staff. Underpays them. Fires them on a whim. Is known for being one of the worst people to his employees in the entire restaurant business on this coast.

And she was so shocked I had never heard of this. Because in her mind, I was just as online as her. And in her online world, EVERYONE knew about this guy.

So I think the moral of this story is: always approach the other person with some empathy. Even online people, even people you think MUST know about how bad people are, may not have heard. It may truly be just them being on a different sphere of the internet than you.

So be gentle, be kind when letting people know they might not have heard about the cancellation of XYZ person. Don’t assume that everyone knows all the same info as you.

By all means, let them know so they can make informed decisions, but being kind will go a lot further than attacking them for some info they might not know yet.

The irresistible urge to fall for your enemy is here and it is everything.

It’s so fucking clever.

I love the magic system.

I LOVE THE GLOSSARY. Give me more glossaries please please please.

I love “by the by.”

I love the lunar calendar.

I love the Harmacy (Bloodletting services available)

The waterstones edition was 1000% worth it. (Even more excited for my Alchemised copy from them now.)

I hate that it was marketed as dramione (even though I love love love dmatmoobil). Brigette Knightley has such a clear, unique, fun narrative voice, she deserves marketing that highlights her strengths— strengths that are evident from the first sentence.

It’s cheeky (shapely, muscular) as hell, and I just love it so much.
