I love Richard II, truly I do, but the first tetralogy will have my heart in a stranglehold for life. 🏵️🌹🗡️
* Cecily duchess of York would have you know she was queen by right even if she was never actually crowned.
Toss-up between 3 Henry VI and Richard III. Historical fanfiction in the best sense of the word, you get four* queens for the price of one, plus the incomparable Richard, and they are SO AMAZINGLY EXTRA.
Hon. mention to Romeo and Juliet, which sucked me into Shakespeare at age 9.
I don't see anything missing and I wish I'd had an assignment like this in undergrad. I'd have got into palaeography much earlier.
One was in the postal service, the other worked in railways.
Child, BAFTAs edited everything BUT the racial slur.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
Nahir, there is an entire section of AO3 devoted to Gilgamesh/Enkidu. You should tell them. 🤣
This is a fantastic essay on parasocial relationships, creativity, social media, and ethics, all rolled into one. For those people seeing certain unwelcome names in the news again.
I cited one of your Teen Vogue articles on ship wars in a chapter I wrote on ASOIAF fandom last year. If you're interested, let me know in DMs and I can email it to you.
Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Everyone should be putting up NO ICE NO CPB NO FEDERAL AGENTS GET A JUDICIAL WARRANT OR STAY OUT signs everywhere.
Hey y'all! While the fight in Minnesota is FAR from over, I have been keeping an eye on Maine as well. I connected with the awesome folks over at No ICE for ME and got some links to share!
The biggest one is the Maine Solidarity Fund. They are doing EVERYTHING right now. We just sent them $1000.
Dear Adobe,
No, I don't need the AI to summarize. No, I don't need the AI to help me search. No, I don't need the AI to help me resize the margins. No, I don't need the AI to do anything.
What I need is to hit the print icon without your product crashing from all of the AI popups.
Can confirm, @casablancacomics.bsky.social is a lovely place to visit! Especially recommend their used graphic novel section, but that might just be my little niche.
Speaking as someone who cannot tell them apart, there was INTENSE debate over which Minions had hair and which did not.
As a result of introducing a class of fourth graders to Michelangelo, there now exists a cartoon for a proposed fresco of the Minions.
Sesame Street Instagram: Big Bird snuggling a smaller bird. Offering comfort in Scary Times: After a violent event, children of different ages will have different needs. These age based strategies can help them feel safer and more secure.
Sesame Street is now offering tips for parents on post-trauma comfort because the federal government is physically and mentally abusing our country's children.
Of course, I'd totally forgotten he was in Bend It Like Beckham! Match Point, on the other hand, is a film I know I watched but I remember absolutely nothing about it.
I have a perverse fondness for his take on Steerpike in Gormenghast, and he's correctly unhinged in Titus. But in general I see the point.
“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.”

Every time they kill one of us, help us make the resistance even stronger.
Abolish/defund ICE to fund health care might be a good electoral and policy position. But that is currently the stance of only a few elected Dems. The mainstream stance is saying ICE under Trump is bad and offering vague reform ideas while allowing bills to pass that keep ICE operating as is.
