Summary: Really, Valancy owed it all to Will Desmond. Had he lived, Olive would have married him at 19, clad in satin and lace, in a church festooned with white roses. Valancy would have watched from the pews, wearing her drab brown silk, seated between her mother and Cousin Stickles, secretly seething at the whole affair. There would have been no cause for Olive to go to Montreal or for Augusta Green to share her unfiltered opinions at an inopportune moment, and Valancy would have been stuck at home, clad in brown silk, between her mother and Cousin Stickles for the rest of her life. Olive Stirling meets Bernard Redfern. The rest, as they say, is history.

i think i found my new favorite artist on twitter

If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.

"I mean, what's with those helmets that batters wear? It's so unfashionable. Those have got to go. And those pants are so restrictive. I'm going to show that the protagonist is a rebel and an independent thinker by having them wear cut-off jeans and run to third base instead of going to first. They'll also have waist-length free-flowing hair that they never tie up when the run."

"What? No, of course I didn't read up anything about sports history or the rules of baseball."

I can't find the artist for the life of me to give credit, which I'm sorry for. Maybe someone recognizes them? But this just caught my eye. Let's not be that little fella, let's have charity, understanding, patience, and endure all things.

And then went to gloat over his acquisition and opened up the towels. Which had absorbed enough of the oil the metal was stored in to prevent it from reacting with any spare oxygen in the air.

So it started to react and my teacher's friend freaked out and realized he was going to get caught and get in trouble. And in a panic, he ran to the bathroom and flushed it down a toilet. A brilliant strategy, is it not, for disposing of a chemical that reacts somewhat to air, but whose characteristic interaction with water is generally described as "violent"?

"While reading a textbook of chemistry, I came upon the statement 'nitric acid acts upon copper,' and I determined to see what this meant. Having located some nitric acid, I had only to learn what the words "act upon" meant. In the interest of knowledge I was even willing to sacrifice one of the few copper cents then in my possession. I put one of them on the table, opened a bottle labeled "nitric acid", poured some of the liquid on the copper, and prepared to make an observation. But what was this wonderful thing I beheld? The cent was already changed, and it was no small change either. A greenish-blue liquid foamed and fumed over the cent and the table. The air became colored dark red. How could I stop this? I tried by picking the cent up and throwing it out the window. I learned another fact: nitric acid acts upon fingers. The pain led to another unpremeditated experiment. I drew my fingers across my trousers and discovered nitric acid acts upon trousers. That was the most impressive experiment I have ever performed. I tell of it even now with interest. It was a revelation to me. Plainly the only way to learn about such remarkable kinds of action is to see the results, to experiment, to work in the laboratory."

a woman is less likely to go "it's stupid that women are expected to be modest" than she is to go "there is nothing immodest about a woman going out without a chaperone" or even "i can go out without a chaperone because i am so modest"
