Women’s Manuscript History Project I love books and capers in equal measure.
perhaps if Marcus Aurelius had showed some emotion around his kids instead of all that stoicism stuff, his son might not have turned into an insecure despot with daddy issues

My boyfriend has grown so sick of eating capers on everything (as a condiment) that he now insists we eat out for three meals a day #girlboss
Here a compilation of stupid things library consultants have said to me in solidarity with library pals at Lambeth Libraries where genius consultants has decided that a qualified head of library service post isn't really essential.
"Happy" "There Will Come Soft Rains" Day, to all who celebrate
I absolutely love locking myself out of places and finding that my phone has died and realizing that I forgot something and having to change course for the day.
I have an inexplicable and unquenchable thirst to go to Zanzibar.

one of the worst insults i have ever received: my godparents said tom holland's portrayal of telemachus reminded them of me/
The President’s job is to help Americans in need, not punish them for voting against him. Trump has approved nearly 90% of disaster-aid requests from Republican-led states. But not one, not two, not three—FOUR Democratic-led states were denied assistance they needed and qualified for.
Trump overrode his own agencies to deny 4 Democratic disaster requests
President Donald Trump cast aside bipartisan precedent when he rejected eligible disaster requests from four blue states.

I have exited my fuck-around era and entered my find-out arc.
i got mugged at shotgun point. the cops arrested the wrong guy, hustled me out of court at the hearing when i said ”that’s not the guy,” told me “you didn’t see him,” made me do a lineup at the prison and when i said “that’s the guy i saw in court, still not him” told me “it’s OK, he’s a bad person”
Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 4d agoIt’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.
Tonight I do it again (same showtime, same Super IMAX theater) with Ray in tote. This time, I have read Wilson’s translation and will also probably have a drink beforehand. I will report back with my takes.

As an iced americano and illy espresso aficionado, I can say that Bloomingdales little in-store cafe has some of the best iced coffee on planet earth.
Getting my cartilage pierced was the worst impulsive decision I’ve made in my life. No one told me there would be a BBL pillow involved.
I've never understood the concept of a charity event/gala. A friend posted about "Pilates for a Purpose" today. Why do you need to do pilates for the purpose of donating to St. Jude? Why can't you just donate to St. Jude? Why does a yoga studio have to be the middleman?
