For context: Ukrainians took to the streets in 2013 to oust pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych and restore 2004 amendments to their constitution that weakened presidential power over their parliament. They blocked up the streets of Kyiv with tires (as well as bricks and anything else they could get their hands on), building barriers that prevented the military from removing protestors.

A painter in Los Angeles kept missing his exit for the I-5 on the 110 highway, so he did his research, climbed up the overhead sign, and changed it himself without anyone noticing.
This is Richard Ankrom. He couldn’t find his damn exit, cuz it wasn’t properly labelled.
So he took life by the balls, like any self-respecting Californian would do, and used his sign-painting expertise to fix it himself.
He called it ‘guerilla public service.’ Even got himself an outfit to look official. It worked, obvi.
Caltrans investigated, but the sign was actually up to code. They left it there for 8 years before they made an updated sign.

I do love the phrase executive dysfunction bc the image it conjures is of a bunch of people wearing business suits around a long oval conference table arguing with each other to the point where they’re getting into physical fights, but in the background there’s just a big empty whiteboard with a To Do list with one item on it and that item is “take shower”
6yo ADHD child's father: did Mum give you a tablet [adhd medication] this morning?
Child: *sad head shaking*
Father: Do you want one today?
Child: *nodding so enthusiastically her whole body shakes*
Having to trust a coparent to do what they were supposed to AND trust a child to remember correctly AND trust a child to tell the truth, seems like it would have a higher error-rate than just having to trust one's own neurodivergent adult brain to remember correctly.
She doesn't take medication every day, it was more a "we're going to an Event today and you're pretty hyped up, would you like chemical help today?" kind of question.
#this is so cool and i am fascinated by this dynamic#i want adhd medication like this
She'll either be taking these her whole life or make the conscious decision not to, it's best that she learns how they affect her and how to make these kinds of decisions early on. Same as we teach kids to pay attention to their hunger level and make reasonable eating choices.
Holy shit it would be so nice to grow up with that kind of autonomy and choice. Can you imagine actually being involved in decisions about your medical care at such a young age? That would be so nice, having some kind of say.
A lot of parents seem entirely oblivious to the fact that their whole job is to train an autonomous adult
She took another tablet today and her father is in the kitchen with her explaining that on tablet days she needs to pay extra attention to when breakfast and lunch time are and be sure to have some food, because the tablet stops her from feeling mild hunger but her body still needs the food to grow <3
They're talking about "things outside the body that can help us manage inside the body" (coping mechanisms)

I just discovered foodtimeline.org, which is exactly what it sounds like: centuries worth of information about FOOD. If you are writing something historical and you want a starting point for figuring out what people should be eating, this might be a good place?

this is awesome but the original link just turned into a redirect loop for me, here it is again (x)
OH HELLO
No more potatoes in medieval novels!
BREAD and SOUP have been around longer than alcohol and milk and domesticated chickens and tea and marshmallows (2000BC!!) and coffee and the Neolithic and the UK being islands and ancient Egypt and ancient Greece and Rome and Jesus… love for BREAD and SOUP is as old as time
Can’t believe Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice in the 2000s
And in 2015 Emily Brontë released literary clsssic Wuthering Heights
Thank God someone paved the way for them…
if you think jk was the first woman author, you don’t actually care about women authors.
Mary Shelley didnt fuck on her parents graves for this level of disrespect
Murasaki Shikibu didn’t invent the novel for this.
Christine de Pizan did not sit down at her desk and write The Book of the City of Ladies, advocating for women’s education and finding value in women of all social classes and backgrounds, in 1405 for this.
🎶SHAHARIZADE HAD A THOUSAND TALES🎶
This……….isn’t even true in 20th century fantasy or childrens books? Pierce, Lackey, Applegate, McCaffrey, Bradley, Butler, whomst?
Casual reminder that
a woman was the first known author/poet in 2300BC - Enheduanna
the first novel in recorded history was written by a woman in 1010AD - Murasaki Shikibu
the earliest example of science fiction was written by a woman in 1666 - Margaret Cavendish
horror science fiction was popularised by a teenage girl in 1818 - Mary Shelley
a Scotswoman expanded childrens’ stories from moralising tales into anarchic adventures in the mid 1800s, well before it became popular in the early 20th century - Catherine Sinclair
the masked/costumed hero archetype that inspired Batman and Zorro was created by a woman in 1905 - Baroness Emma Orczy
And while she is problematic as all get out, we all know who is to blame for popularising Boarding School fiction (which is a huge inspiration of She Who Must Not Be Named) from the 1930s onwards - Enid Blyton
And do I even need to mention what a badass pioneer Ursula Le Guin was for women author in the fantasy/sci-fi genre?
Not to mention Agatha Christie is literally second only to Shakespeare in terms of works sold – 4 billion compared to JKR’s paltry 500 million
Mary Shelly did what
Mary.Shelly.Lost.Her.Virginity.On.Her.Parent’s.Grave.
Mary Shelley lost her virginity on her mother’s grave. Her father was still very much alive.
She did what now?
We have female authors who published before Rowling here on Tumblr. @dduane, for example! I read her Star Trek novels from the 80s and 90s as a kid/teen.
Octavia E. Butler wrote probably the most accurate dystopian novel in the form of Parable of the Sower.
I was a book nerd 90s kid who lived in the fantasy/scifi sections of the library and off the top of my head I can think of three male authors I was reading. The child and teens fantasy/scifi author list before Rowling took off was overwhelmingly female.
With the mention of Mary Shelley losing her virginity on her mother’s grave, it should be noted that her mother was also a famous author. Her mother was Mary Wollstonecraft, who wrote, among other things, the Vindication of the Rights of Women in 1792. This was a book that argued for the eduction of women, which was a common theme in Wollstonecraft’s work.
seeing all the 14-17 y/o queer kids who don’t know what v for vendetta is…. u mean the blockbuster film written by two trans women about a masked vigilante who decides to singlehandedly take down a fascist alternate version of england set in the distant year of 2020… and his driving force was getting justice for a lesbian who he never met but whose diary he found, who was separated from her wife before being killed by said fascist gov…. and it stars natalie portman…. okay
the movie is great, with amazing acting:
and the original graphic novel is phenomenal:
I highly recommend them both
and they’ve never been more relevant
“People shouldn’t be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.”
There’s strong subtext that V is a trans man and A)the lesbian from the diary or B)her wife.
frankly I prefer the movie over the comic, for three reasons:
1) lewis prothero as a rush limbaugh/glenn beck/bill o’reilly type is both more applicable and way funnier than a 1940s radio propagandist
2) it has stephen fry as gordon detriech, and makes him explicitly gay and pretending to be attracted to evey as part of being closeted than actually attracted to evey and having sex with her while she hides in his home.
3) the movie came out in 2005; that is, only four years after 9/11, while the Iraq war was still in full swing, and while xenophobia and Islamophobia were not just acceptable, but tacitly encouraged by the administration at the time. which makes the following exchange even more poignant and sweet:
Evey: [seeing a book in a glass display case] What is that? Gordon: It’s a copy of the Qur’an, 14th century. Evey: [shocked] Are you a Muslim? Gordon: No, I’m in television. Evey: But why would you keep it? Gordon: I don’t have to be a Muslim to find the images beautiful or its poetry moving.
just… the easy acceptance of it. the idea that a religion that he doesn’t believe in and that has been explicitly outlawed in-universe is a source of beauty. I’m not Muslim, either, but that particular moment really stuck with me emotionally.
Love this movie
“…I remember how different became dangerous. I still don’t understand it, why they hate us so much. They took Ruth while she was out buying food. I’ve never cried so hard in my life. It wasn’t long till they came for me.
It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years, I had roses, and apologize to no one.
I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An Inch, it is small and it is fragile, but it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.
I hope that whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the world turns and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you. I love you. With all my heart, I love you. -Valerie”
SOBBING
I always read V as a trans woman lesbian who was violently detransitioned against her will.
And because of that forceful detransitioning, she wears the mask of a man to hide who she truly is in a society that cannot accept her until she brings down the oppressive aspects of it and frees it from the despots at the top.

Slaves who escaped were breaking the law. Literally. Outright.
Jewish people who escaped the Nazis were breaking the law. Literally. Outright.
The law is a horrible judge of morality.
