why did y’all do this nobody uses the fucking video thing

I don't think I have felt such vicious and palpable hatred for literally any literary figure other than Ted Hughes. If two women kill themselves because of how horribly abusive you are, you should not, in any shape or form, be having any right over any of their properties, especially intellectual ones.

Sylvia Plath, aged 30, in a letter to her mother, 5 months after discovering her husband's infidelity, and their subsequent separation (dated Friday, 14 December 1962)

["Ted" Hughes (aged 32) - her husband, who was having an affair with Assia Wevill (aged 35), a married woman who rented their London flat at Chalcot Square; Sylvia moved with their children (a 2-year-old daughter & an 11-month-old son) to 23 Fitzroy Road in London, at a rented flat, formerly a residence of W. B. Yeats]

Have you seen the unseen behind the scenes photos? 😯

when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever

nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations

university professors love to create the most fucked up pdf ever known to mankind. it's enrichment for them.

I love when an IP is so fucking old and ironclad and its core modern audience is so indecipherable and hard to easily segment that their social team just does whatever

Soooo fucking funny and fascinating that Disney higher ups or Zegler's coaches or whoever clearly instructed her to talk about the Snow White LA remake in a certain way to garner conversation around it - 'it's better than the original, we're excited to have a female character not defined by her love interest, etc etc' all the most basic common talking points for these stupid remakes. Like. They Encouraged Her to talk about the film like that. That's part of the job, talking to the press, there is no way in hell she wasn't coached and given these talking points. And when it exploded into controversy because people were pissed the lead actress seemed to have disdain for the source material?

Well, of course then Corporate Disney(TM) hung her out to dry completely and let her take the brunt of the hatred online. All of the insane targeted harassment she was already receiving due to her skin tone AMPLIFIED. Of course there were crickets from Disney as they scrambled to fix what they'd fucked (the whole film, conceptually, as a whole, was never going to be good, but those CGI dwarves, woof). The dogshit treatment she's had to endure and all that for a fucking garbage live action remake... if I were her I'd be going John Wick mode at Disney headquarters

Variety so obviously pushing a narrative.

Rachel has been getting hate, and death threats and disgusting things said about her since she was cast. There are 100s of videos on Youtube dunking on her.

Fuck you Variety

Oh and don't forget that Rachel had to move because angry chuds showing up at her house.

"For being brown. For having brown skin. For playing Snow White. There was a lot of harassment from a certain group of people—they were showing up at my apartment and screaming profanities."

I don't understand why the Disney execs and the makers of SW are so surprised. Like everyone knew that this movie was going to flop. Idts Rachel Zegler was even the 1/120 part of the reason why it flopped so bad.

You know those posts about meeting people that you were once close with and now are estranged with. They often talk of nostalgia, longing and love. I saw an old friend yesterday, wanted to knock that bitch out. May God help me be more gracious.

They have mis-characterised Darcy so much it is awful. I hate that this is what the pop culture has done with Austen's Legacy.

Jane Austen: *writes novels where the worst thing the male lead ever does to the heroine is talking badly about them*

Modern Love Stories Set During The Regency Era Specifically Inspired By Jane Austen Novels : but what if our male lead was a jerk and a womaniser and a borderline sexual predator? After all, nothing demonstrates the sex appeal of a man quite like his ability to transmit syphilis to the love of his life, right?

I am so glad it's Ramazan and that the religious guilt is stopping me from ruining some guy's two days on hinge

study of the love note

there is something about the action of folding that is integral to the love note. once folded, it’s charged with a furtive and hopeful magic, like finishing a spell

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

"I watched life and wanted to be a part of it but found it painfully difficult."

— Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 6: 1955-1966

Bro İ hate being an academic they're making me write shit 😭 İ thought İ was just supposed to sit in an old chair smoke & say something french every now and then 😢

I need someone to hold my hand through all the decisions I make because I can't do this shit anymore. I need to be told what to do and if it will get easy.

I have so many things to do. I feel so paralyzed when this happens, so I do nothing and everything gets shelved.

“It was an act of self-preservation — however misguided it was”.

For once, I would like to be in love where I don't feel like my entire body is on fire, where I don't feel like the earth will swallow me, where my affection is not unreciprocated. I hate feeling so sad and uneasy all time. The time keeps passing but my grief doesn't.
