Wait, some nuns of the order of St. Claire in Orduña have been asking the bishop for a licence to sell their pastries at the Derio monastery for 10 years, to no avail.

And they're so fed up they have officially rejected the Pope, archbishops, and bishops, and are now creating a schism inside their order because they're gonna sell those fucking pastries whether they like it or not.

WTF is this fantasy!!!!!

hot take but i kind of think the guild of assassins and thieves are problematic. like one of them you could ruin someone’s life and the other one you’re literally KILLING people. i know rich people are delusional but i can’t believe they literally think the best school for their kids is murder college.

Remember that time "cult expert" Steven Hassan not only repeated common transphobic talking points but also claimed fucking sissy hypno porn was literal and legit mind control that would actually turn people trans out of nowhere and that he had to keep his finger over the pause button because he could feel himself being influenced by it as he listened?

Dude, you say you studied hypnosis. You should know it does not work like that. If you think sissy hypno almost made you trans then you probably should be investigating that and talking to someone.

Best self-care tips for writers!

🔹 Drink plenty of water (not just coffee or tea). 🔹 Don't compare yourself to other writers. 🔹 Take regular breaks. 🔹 Take time to read for fun. 🔹 Write something just because you enjoy it! 🔹 Set realistic, achievable goals.

[empatheticquinoa]

sometimes I think the entire point of writing – of heartfelt, nuanced, fucking true writing – is that it allows the audience to point to a piece of art and say “that. that is how I felt. all those complex, jumbled, overlapping, contradictory emotions. that is how I felt to live it.”

the point of writing is to distill human emotion into something we can identify with, to use thousands of words (or 28 pages for one real-time scene that grabs you and doesn’t let go) to illustrate what a single-syllable word like ‘grief’ can never fully explain. and when it is done well, it is the single most human thing that humans ever can or ever will accomplish.

Are you talking about stuff like I found in this article? Because I’m highly intrigued but this was oddly challenging to find. [IMAGE DESCRIPTION:There is a screenshot of the first page of an article via jstor.org. THE COMPLEX TITLE IS “Common Variants” and “Unusual Features: Shorthand and the Copy for the First Quarto of Lear. END COMPLEX TITLE. In the title, Lear is italicized, because it is short for King Lear by William Shakespeare. The article was written by Adele Davidson. The link is included at the end of this section. A section of the article has been highlighted in light blue. The selected portion reads as follows: Claimed that his plays were written in a “corrupt and mangled” form, “(copied only by the ear.)” END QUOTE. Note: the word “only” was spelled “O N E L Y” and the word “ear” was spelled “E A R E.” END IMAGE DESCRIPTION]

Like, not even on how prevalent it was, but just that It Was A Thing Sometimes. Is this what you’re talking about?

For anyone who’s interested, here you go. link

Davidson, Adele. “‘Common Variants’ and ‘Unusual Features’: Shorthand and the Copy for the First Quarto of Lear.” The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, vol. 105, no. 3, 2011, pp. 325–51. JSTOR, https://doi.org/10.1086/680813. Accessed 18 Sept. 2023.

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:

It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and

Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.

apps that use pop-ups to try to trick you into turning on certain settings by quickly clicking yes literally never work on me. a pop up stops me dead in my shit and confuses the hell outta me, now i'm mad and there is no way i'm turning that stupid setting back on
