#from the revolution to the moon

Apart from the occasional fights between William and James, William was happy to get back to his original duties of providing food and money for his family as he returned to fishing. Caroline meanwhile was happy she could now focus more on the garden and her animals as her husband was back.

Just as her husband had been, Anne was also a victim to the old house's inhabitants: she got attacked by bats in the middle of the day.

Painting 2/10

I still don't sell art on this page so, the point of posting these here is for them to get hijacked for any land back cause. I don't need to be credited for these, and maybe they can be cut and stitched to other videos, or maybe it can be a video for someone's voice who is afraid to show their face. Honestly idk 🤷 what use it could have or if it has a use but, I know that I'm sorry for how long it's taken me to share what I want to say; and to share what I think. I'm sorry that it'll still take longer as I undo the brainwashing and find my own voice. (This isn't about that so, I won't dawdle.) This is about not knowing but, wanting to believe the butterfly will take effect and this will make a positive difference somewhere to someone, somehow. 

Anyone looking to have their campaign reblogged is welcome to message me, and my reblog account (attached to my intro post) will reblog you. I apologize in advance I'm still having a spiral that I'm climbing out of so, I'm not in a headspace to talk to strangers but, that doesn't change my want for collective freedom. ❤️

the way I just know musical tumblr and the rest of the internet would be obsessed with Mula sa Buwan (musical retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac set in 1940s WWII Philippines) but it’s locked behind a language barrier

With the eshop closing today, I rescued my gen 3 and 4 pokemon from my PBR save. Got them to Moon and now they’re finally in HOME, possibly forever

Now I finally see that my nearly 20 year old latias…

The evenings are no longer filled with the pianoforte and dancing in the drawing room. Instead, Zebulon and Susana sit close to the fireplace and read poetry together.

Another tragedy struck the family as their eldest living daugher Mary, suddenly passed away aged of twelve.

challenge rule: With a high infant death rate, roll a dice once for every sim at some point in their childhood. If the number is either 2 or 4, the sim dies (a mod is needed for this).

Anne did not like to wash the laundry as the water was icy and the wind was cold, but it had to get done. Josie, on the other hand, did not mind the cold at all and loved to play in the snow.

I CAN QUIT WHENEVER I WANT

[hedgehog-moss]

as a "beginner" dipping g his toes into nonfiction but as someone who otherwise enjoys pretty much any genre (and as such is open to anything, from educational to biographical), what would you recommend?

Oh, that's vast! You are forcing me to cast a wide net and give a thousand suggestions... I'm going to limit myself to 3 ideas per category so I don't go overboard.

Nature / environment: Carl Safina's Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel; Paul Kingsnorth's Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist and Other Essays; Robin Wall Kimmerer's Gathering Moss

Science / medicine: Holly Tucker's Blood Work: A Tale of Medicine and Murder in the Scientific Revolution, Richard Preston's The Hot Zone, Paul Lockhart's A Mathematician's Lament (I mostly enjoyed the first part in which he rants about the current state of maths education and says maths deserves better) or Carl Sagan's Cosmos (if I write "or" between two book recs it only counts as one)

Language: I liked Arika Okrent's In the Land of Invented Languages so much that I won't even nominate anyone else in this category. ... But I'll make up for it by allowing myself additional titles in the next one:

Politics / society / culture: Jodi Kantor's She Said, Frederik & Bastian Obermayer's The Panama Papers, Caroline Criado-Pérez's Invisible Women, Patrick Keefe's Empire of Pain, Michael Meyer's The Last Days of Old Beijing, Barbara Demick's Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea

History: I'm realising that everything that comes to mind is horribly bleak: Jack London's The People of the Abyss, Timothy Egan's The Worst Hard Time, Svetlana Alexievich's Voices from Chernobyl... I've read some fun historical nonfiction in French but right now the only thing I can think of in English that's not depressing is Matthew Goodman's The Sun and the Moon, the subtitle of which is: The Remarkable True Account of Hoaxers, Showmen, Dueling Journalists, and Lunar Man-Bats in Nineteenth-Century New York.

About literature: Wisława Szymborska's Nonrequired Reading, Alexandra Johnson's The Hidden Writer: Diaries and the Creative Life, Alberto Manguel's The Library at Night.

(I was going to include a philosophy section but I realised I p much exclusively read philosophy in French or Spanish, and it's usually recent stuff that's not been translated... But if you've never read philosophy I recommend Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World, it's a novel about the history of philosophy so it straddles the line between fiction and nonfiction)

Biographies / memoirs: that's the majority of the nonfiction I read so it could be a whole post, but some I've really enjoyed are: Beryl Markham's West with the Night; Gerald Durrell's My Family & Other Animals; Fatema Mernissi's Dreams of Trespass, Ryszard Kapuściński's Travels with Herodotus, Mary S. Lovell's The Sisters (about the six Mitford sisters; if you enjoy it I'd recommend reading their correspondence next—Charlotte Mosley's "The Mitfords: Letters Between Six Sisters")

Miscellaneous: Emmanuel Carrère's The Adversary; Alexandra Horowitz's On Looking. Currently I'm reading Joan Druett's Island of the Lost because it's nice to relativise your own problems in life by reminding yourself that at least you're not stuck on a subantarctic island having to bludgeon sea lions and eat your own crewmates for survival.
