Cyrania de Bergerac

Which is to say, that now that I have a baby of my own, I understand so much better the common cultural practice in which unmarried women wear their hair loose and uncovered, while married women have their hair covered and/or bound back.

Ti note: :has() is a new css feature (and weirdly enough, as new as it is, Ao3 allows it in skins!!) and it’s still being implemented across browsers. it works on my safari iphone, I didn’t manage to make it work on chrome (but from what I’m reading it’s available in the beta branch), and I haven’t tried it in other browsers.

but it’s definitely worth a check if it works on your device!

Desktop browsers:

it works fine on safari both on mac and on iphone

on chrome it works in the beta pre-release version. They are going to be shipping it in the next version (105, which should go out at the end of the month.) but you can also enable it by going here: chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features and select ‘enabled’ to the Experimental Web Platform features

on edge and opera it is scheduled in the pre-release version. still in development. it will come eventually.

on Firefox you’ll need to go in the advanced config and enable the flag

layout.css.has-selector.enabled

Mobile Browsers:

according to canIuse only safari on iphone has it fully functioning.

And Chrome for Android has it in the pre-release version which should be out soon.

I can’t find infos on firefox for android (but that one allows extensions, so you can use userscripts to hide tags)

Additional stuff to remember

the class selector a[href*=“whatever”] looks at the url of the link. so if you have two words you’ll need to add %20 where the space should be and *s* where the / should be (for ships). so like: a[href*=“Colin%20Bridgerton*s*Penelope%20Featherington”] (the simplest way is to go to the page of the tag you want to block and copy the text)

a “i” at the end will make it non case-sensitive (which helps btw) a[href*=“whatever” i]

tumblr always changes “” in the curly ones. but you’ll need to use the straight ones in css if you want them to work properly

it will search even part of the word. so “tick” will catch “ticket” “ticking” “tickling” “ticks” 

Saint Theodora of Sihla

Saint Theodora was born in the mid-17th century in the village of Vânători-Neamț. Raised in a devout family, she later married a young man who was equally faithful and felt a calling to the monastic life like her.

She embraced monastic life at Vărzărești Skete in Vrancea while her husband joined Poiana Mărului Skete. Due to the Turkish invasions, the nuns retreated to the Vrancea Mountains, and later, the saint returned to her native area and became a hermit near Sihla Skete.

The saint is known for her strict asceticism and for the miraculous way in which she not only survived in the wilderness but also reached high spiritual achievements.

Her relics were taken to Ukraine in the 19th century, but the cave where she lived remains a place filled with grace, where many believers come to seek the saint’s prayers and help.

Numerous contemporary testimonies from the monks of Sihla and people who have received Saint Theodora’s help exist.

They have witnessed miraculous healings from pneumonia, brain tumours, kidney diseases, ear ailments, and infertility.
