Just in case you’ve ever wondered why I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about Pride and Prejudice(/LBD)- it’s because I have read the book over thirty times. I own four copies. This is one of the annotated ones. (There’s a color coding system to my annotations). I picked it up for the first time in fourth grade. I’ve come back to it at varying points in my life and looked at it from a number of angles.
june 3 | i made a thing today!
you know why it’s so critically important to celebrate women over the age of 40?
because young women and girls need role models. need someone to aspire to become as they age.
as it is, society basically tells girls and young women: aspire to be 18-22. do not aspire or imagine past that, for you are useless without youth and beauty. do not aspire to be wise, or strong, beautiful without youth, or valuable with lines and wrinkles. and THAT is scary. we put a cap on aspirations for girls, because we want them to think the ideal comes and goes by 20–when really, we’re at our best for many, many years beyond.

there’s a post going around listing trans people who killed themselves post-Trump’s election. it is not properly sourced, and searching the names net absolutely no results. it’s fake. i understand why people might reblog this (because it was honestly a horrifying post to read when i thought it was true), but please look into stuff before you reblog them & don’t spread misinformation. don’t create artificial trauma for already terrified communities.
that being said, here’s the Trans Lifeline numbers that was on the post: US: (877) 565-8860 Canada: (877) 330-6366
