Cropped image of medieval-stylized printed text, focused on a line which reads: “This wenche thikke”

This wenche thikke and wel y-growen was, With camuse nose and yën greye as glas; With buttokes brode and brestes rounde and hye, But right fair was hir heer, I wol nat lye.

In modern English (had to look up “camuse”, so that’s as good as my source, but I know the rest)

This wench was thick and well-grown With a pug nose and eyes grey as glass; With buttocks broad and breasts round and high, But right fair was her hair, I will not lie.

But I always think of growth like plants.

Aspens grow tall to reach the sun, for sure. But dandelions grow deep, understanding themselves fully so that if some misguided fool tries to uproot them they'd have to try damn hard. And then there's thyme and other creeping plants, which spread themselves out so much that if you chop a part of it off it roots wherever it can find dirt to root in.

The concept is that a worker is really good at their job, so good that they clearly deserve better compensation for all they bring to the company, but business is structured so that the only way to get more money is to be promoted to a higher position. A new position comes with new job requirements, but not everyone is going to be right for those. Example: an amazing computer programmer might be useless at managing staff, but if you promote that programmer to head of the department they’ll be required to manage staff. It seems like the best thing for everyone, the company included, would be to put that employee back in their original job and let them keep the higher salary since they clearly do the job well enough to deserve it. However companies want those lower level jobs to be seen as undesirable so workers will feel upper staff deserve their higher wages. Because of this, putting the employee back in the job they’re right for is considered a demotion, so instead companies let the employee keep the upper level job they’re bad at forever or until they have just cause to fire them. Clearly the company was better off with them in the job they were good at, but the illusion of hierarchy to justify higher waged employees is more important

MK Moments in March Day 21: as Lily playing Anne in Kissing in the Rain Episode 2

If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll probably know that one of my favorite books of all time is The Blue Castle by LM Montgomery. It’s my life’s mission to make everyone read it, so here are some reasons why you should:

It’s almost like a really really excellent fanfiction, I can’t say more or risk spoiling it, but trust me it really is, there are so many good tropes

Friends to lovers 

I just really like the romance in it, imagine your OTP

The characters are great even the unpleasant ones 

Valancy is a super relateable protagonist and is a massive nerd who loves books. She also uses her imagination as an escape mechanism #Icanrelate

The book is basically about discovering you have agency and that it’s never too late to get out there and live your best life regardless of the people trying to hold you back 

Valancy is such a nice person 

She’s also 29, so quite a bit older than most of Montgomery’s heroines, and I really like it. I think this book really conveys how you might think life is getting away from you when you hit your late 20s, but actually you’re still super young and you have so much ahead of you so just go and live your dreams 

Involves a triumphant escape from emotionally abusive relations 

The characters are great. LM Montgomery is spectacular at writing odious relations and petty social drama 

Hilarious and snarky but also deeply heartwarming  

So much great nature stuff

The descriptions are so good you guys 

Seriously, the more I think about this book the more it seems like a super good fanfiction, which is probably why I’ve read it like 15 times 

I’m totally biased, but if I’m sad and I read this book I feel  better afterwards 

Angst with a happy ending 

Doing things to shock your terrible relatives and it’s amazing

PLOT TWISTS

Putting yourself out there and getting what you want 

I can’t tell you all the good bits because it will spoil it so I guess you’ll just have to read it yourself, I’m not joking, you will not regret it 

Seriously, go read it

I don’t really believe this mumbo jumbo

I mean it’s a goddamn hat.

The white rose, it symbolizes the unique beauty of all the women who wish not to be with a nice guy such as myse-
