We lost mum today. She was a light, she was a riot, the world is already missing the sound of her laugh. I’ll love her always.

For women, this #InternationalWomensDay I wish that you are always fed, always safe, that one day you will be able to run in the dark as well as the light, that you are loved, that your loved ones will never hurt you, that you will know equality in your lifetime.

Me: [writes mission school horror YA about mass hysteria]

Non-SEA readers: Ooh this sounds so fascinating and creepy wow

SEA readers with a shared mission school history of ghostly nuns and Japanese soldiers: [nonchalant] Yeah this happened at my school a few years ago nbd

Man who falls in love with a sphynx and solves her riddles daily, in spite of the threat to his life.

The boon he requests every night is to sleep by her side in the warm sand and wake up safe. As he grows old, then forgetful, she reconfigures her riddles to accept any answer.

Imagine treating international students as cash cows to finance the whole institutional shebang while at the same time denying them a right to family while they pay through the nose to study here

The UK government have announced that foreign students will not be able to bring their dependants with them to study at university in the UK. What a devastatingly callous and unnecessary act, founded in nothing but fear and xenophobia.

Truly and earnestly obsessed with this cover

coming out of my mini-hiatus to say that the paul mescal rumours totally check out after dating (fortunately/unfortunately) multiple actors from Dublin like that irish exit thing is reaaaall

Don't let 2024 scare you. YOU should scare it 🤨🙌🏻 Defy a prophecy. Grow a forest inside your house. Drink your enemies tears in a fancy teacup. Write something unhinged and beautiful. Collect more books until you, too, become a book. THRIVE.

Me explaining to Sherlock Holmes the mad shit that’s going on in Dartmoor

disney: we’re in a creative rut, i guess

ghibli: we cannot restrain this old man from directing another beautiful film about grief featuring the freakiest little guys

One thing about Hayao Miyazaki is that he’s gonna put some little guys in his movie

All of this is quite abhorrent but what strikes me is the cruelty of being happy to use the labour of care workers, but also quite happy for them to be alone in a new country with no family, their children without a parent

how is anyone silent.

In one fell swoop Cleverly has declared that you aren't allowed to fall in love with and marry a migrant, and that migrants shouldn't be allowed families, all if they don't earn at least more than double the national minimum wage. That alone should terrify everyone.

These new migration rules punish absolutely everyone. Brits who dare to fall in love with non-Brits. Foreign students who dare to invest thousands of pounds to come here and study, with a hope for a better future. Ppl who dare to already be working their arses off here. Sickening
