Ladies today do something just for you or your education.
A Room Of One’s Own Day is a momentous occasion that falls on January 25 each year, and we’re going to help you celebrate. Do you know that the book by Virginia Woolf which was the inspiration behind this holiday is more than 93 years old? A Room Of One’s Own Day celebrates the privacy of having one’s own room and is also symbolic of independence. It also reminds us that it is the privileged who have their own rooms and that we can appreciate and look after what we have. It also reminds us of the ongoing struggle for females to receive an education.
HISTORY OF A ROOM OF ONE’S OWN DAY
Adeline Virginia Woolf, one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century, was born on March 25, 1882. She was the seventh of eight children born to Julia Prinsep Jackson and Leslie Stephen. Her father is said to have been the one who inspired Woolf to take up writing as a profession.
Woolf began writing in 1900. In 1912, she married Leonard Woolf, and the couple set up the Hogarth Press, which would in the future be the publishing house that released most of Woolf’s works. Her written works are said to be the inspiration behind modern-day feminist movements, and it continues to inspire young women to be independent. Though Woolf has written several masterpieces, her most famous essay is “A Room Of One’s Own” which came out in 1929. It dealt mainly with the lack of freedom of expression of women in those times. It advocated access to education for women. This novel played a key role in inspiring the feminist movements of the 1970s.
Though the exact origins of A Room Of One’s Own Day are not known, this day has been celebrated annually by millions as a day to celebrate independence and self-sustainability. Some might take the day in a literal way and celebrate it by decorating one’s own room or simply enjoying the comfort and privacy of one’s own room. Others might take it figuratively and observe this day by shutting the metaphorical door to things they are no longer interested in and celebrating independence.

HOW TO OBSERVE A ROOM OF ONE’S OWN DAY
Do something creative in your room. Your room is your kingdom. Let out your creative skills and give your new room a new look. Add new furniture. Paint the walls. Make posters. Clean your room. The idea is to renovate your room and take it to the next level.
Share it on social media. Let everyone know that you're celebrating this day. Take pictures of your room after you have refurbished it and post them on social media. This will inspire many others to celebrate this day.
Read a good book about women. Many of the rights and freedoms today’s women enjoy are new. Read a good book about the struggle and the amazing women who led the fight.
5 FACTS ABOUT THE NOVEL “A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN” THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND
It was made for Cambridge student societies. Woolf wrote this essay based on two papers she read for two student societies in Cambridge.
Judith was a fictional character. Woolf invented the fictional character of Judith as the sister of William Shakespeare.
It had lesbianism. One section of the book deals with a fictional female writer's relationship with another woman.
It faced criticism. The book was criticized for the sensitive content and also because many women felt that women of color faced greater prejudice and discrimination, which was not covered in the novel.
It was adapted into plays“Balancing the Moon” (2011) was one of the many plays adapted from this novel.
WHY A ROOM OF ONE’S OWN DAY IS IMPORTANT
It allows us to appreciate the freedom of having our own room. Having a room of our own is a luxury that we often take for granted. Many people in this world either don’t have a roof over their heads or are sharing a house with others. This day allows us to appreciate the luxury of having our own rooms.
It is symbolic of independence. A Room of One's Own Day is symbolic of standing on our own and being independent. This day figuratively reminds us to have our rooms, that is, to be self-sufficient and not be dependent on others.
It reminds us to close the doors to things that are detrimental to our well-being. A Room of One's Own Day is a reminder that we need to close the door to people, and also things, that are toxic and hinder our growth and success. It is a day to be introspective and clear out the junk from your metaphorical “room”.

Thinking abt how the kits would have absolutely zero grasp on the concept of mortality and death and how they'd be really confused on why their parents are upset and where Mothtree wen't :^)
Hi friend, I don’t want to be like a major downer but… Rosehipkit is VERY sick. She and Dogwood, more than any other kits, absolutely understand the concept of mortality and death in a way that they should not have to.



#loudclan#loudclanasks#cw discussion of death#cw death#cw death mention#cw afterlife#cw discussion of afterlife#cw sad#kinda a downer sorry#I know this one is messy but I am terribly tired and I have so many asks in my inbox#I promise the next moon is in process.#sketch done#just trying to balance drawing asks and drawing the moon#also anon who asked about a drawing tutorial I’m working on it!#will probably be a while but I haven’t forgotten

something something hair holds memories
(this is for my ppt au)
the context is that Earth had a minor flashback in the first two weeks that made her uncomfortable being in her own body, but because there aren't any spare parts for her in this dimension (and because Eclipse refuses to let her make any impulsive modifications while he's around), the only change she could think of making was cutting her hair.
Eclipse walks in on her and tells her to put the scissors down and waits until she's a bit more present to ask if she actually wants her hair cut.
She does. So he cuts it. Because it's synthetic hair, it can't actually grow back, so she's sort of stuck with it short. But she's happy with it, so it's probably fine
#minute doodles#ppt au#I was going to write a short thing but then we drew it instead#(and by the way it was her who taught him how to braid and fix up hair)#anyhow#tsams au#eaps au#laes au#tsams#laes#eaps#laes earth#earth laes#eaps eclipse#eclipse eaps#tlaes#the lunar and earth show#lunar and earth show#the sun and moon show#the eclipse and puppet show#sams#teaps eclipse#tlaes earth#once again asking for questions because I have many ideas for this au#and wow three art posts this weekend astounding#good thing we're getting a healthy dose of 0 notes each to balance out that ego boost

don’t get me wrong I’m a big fan of the narrative implications of shauna “repression regent” shipman disliking when jackie calls her shipman and never saying anything, but I also think it’s just as likely that she doesn’t hate it, never hated it, and is just lashing out because the familiarity of the name brings her guilt to the surface.
#I would honestly consider either of these valid readings of her situation! maybe even a mix of both!#I just feel like if she does hate it it IS because of her own hang-ups around jackie either way#like to her jackie is the only person who calls her shipman so if jackie’s dead she shouldn’t be called shipman anymore#even in her ghost visions!#because she doesn’t want it. because she doesn’t deserve it. because to be ‘shipman’ is to be swallowed whole#not just by jackie and their whole sun and moon dynamic but by her own guilt at throwing it off balance#anyway :)#shauna shipman#jackie taylor#yellowjackets#yellowjackets spoilers#yellowjackets s3e8#bee buzzes

I’ve been on a crazy journey of self discovery this year and I’m about to say the most Capricorn thing I can say- I’ve learned that if folks aren’t on your level you don’t have to make yourself smaller to match them you can just keep it stepping and the Divine will match you up with the right folks at the right time
#I technically have learned this lesson but it took a minute to fully set it#my moon is conjunct my Neptune so I’m like oh but I should be niiice#but the nicest thing I can do is keep it moving#it’s weird to have south node in aries and still have to learn to prioritize myself sometimes#but also north node in libra is about matching with someone and keeping balance#just thinking#about life#astro observations#astroblr#astro notes#astro community#astrology#capricorn#Saturn

Something's cooking...
#ashenfeather#little snippets because i still haven't finished the moon 2 follow-up#balancing between quality and quantity proved more challenging than i expected#and i've been busy with Real Life these past couple of days#but believe me when i say these cats live in my head rent-free#so far i'm on moon 13 in-game and there's been a lot going on#despite it only being moon 13#i'm also debating whether i should repost everyone else's clangens here or on a separate reblogging blog#i want to support these magnificent works somewhere#but i'm not sure where to do it exactly
