me watching the bear: damn this cooking thing seems stressful. plus they’ll have to deal with a bear at some point.

a kid came up to me to enquire about books on queen victoria, so I promptly guided him to the children’s history section, and we had a lovely chat flicking through horrible histories books, when I asked him what does he like about history. he grinned, and with a smooth, brilliant smile he said “My favourite thing about old times is torture.”

One time I had a dad come in with his ~10 year old kid and go “Hi, we’re looking for, um…” at which point he trailed off and looked expectantly at the kid the way parents usually do when they can’t remember which Percy Jackson book comes next, but instead the kid looked up at me and very brightly and firmly announced, “The Federalist Papers!”

evil women are hot because they have their lives figured out

like bla bla hays code and queercoding and whatever but have you considered how attractive it is to be utterly confident in your goals and methods, despite the insistence of everyone else? to not only be certain of yourself but to be stylish and subversive as you do it? kind of faggy. if you tag this with boring disney shit ill beat you to death
