...Idina's actions appeared to be arguing for that women could behave with the recklessness long allowed men. This could be achieved only by altering the entrenched views of the entire population: a slow transformation that would certainly take longer than her impending self-destruction. But, as long as she was occupied, or looking forward to the next amusement, she had no time to look back. "Wait until you are free," says Iris Storm, "that you can see the four walls of your freedom and the iron-barred door that will let you out into the open air of slavery, if only there was someone to open it."

I'm fairly certain the only way i can be convinced to read nonfiction is by padding it with fiction like 5 fiction books a short book about Edwardian history quickly followed by a manga chaser as a palate cleanser

[iwanthermidnightz]

the fact that taylor played you’re losing me and announced a new track called the bolter…

bonus (just a little research that may or may not be connected though this book is right up taylors alley)

of course a role inspired by idina sackville played by none other than greta garbo (one of the more notorious sapphics of old hollywood).

Real Bolter's Great-Granddaughter Discusses Taylor Swift's Song | Us Weekly

“Idina was this figure of extraordinary glamour, but she was both a figure of wonder and a black sheep at the same time,” she explained to Us. “She was criticized and she was all over the headlines everywhere. People wrote bad things about her because what did she do? She behaved independently and behaved as a man did, and the arrows rained down.”

“It’s a derogatory term, implying that a woman who leaves a man has something wrong with her — not that the relationship or the man might be inappropriate or harmful. Whereas a man who leaves a woman is a man,” Osborne said, emphasizing that the word “bolter” traditionally refers to a horse that has run away. “As Swift makes clear in her song, there’s always something that makes that horse run. And when [the term] was first used, it was very belittling.”

I LOVE The Bolter. I love when that woman reflects on her "serial dating." I do think it's pretty auto-biographical, but not about any one specific situation. It's reflective of a pattern of behaviour. The "cad" in the second verse could refer to literally any of her exes. She REALLY knows how to pick 'em.

ALSO, I found out recently that the term of "the bolter" originally derives from the woman Lady Idina Sackville:

"She was a part of the Happy Valley set, a group of British aristocrats who settled in colonial Kenya in the 1930s and became notorious for their drinking and sexual promiscuity.

According to the New York Times, Sackville first “shocked Britain” by leaving her husband, named “the most eligible bachelor of her generation,” and running off with another man to Kenya. She got married and divorced five times in her lifetime, earning her the “Bolter” title."

So that's who she's comparing herself to (presumably). Also the whole "reviled" thing reminded me how she used to say in interviews that her mum would be the one to ground her before Award shows and tell her, "Look, you probably won't win this one," and her Dad would act as if every song she wrote was the best thing to ever Grace the planet, and how that allowed her balance.

So.. yeah, she kind of was reviled by everyone except her father lmao. Scott may have his issues, but she has made it clear time and time again that he is passionately supportive of her in a way that, yes, even her mother isn't (though she's obviously incredibly supportive in her own way!)

interesting about that Sackville lady - not sure if she was intentionally referencing that but an interesting story. I also hear what you're saying.

Ttpd review?

NEW FAVORITE. may i present to you: meg's official ttpd ranking!

the tortured poets department. 138439343843/10 this song SPOKE TO ME. the bridge??!?!!?!?! as a habitual ring wearer it changed my life. this is like. life changing for me. i've listened 200+ times already. if i were still in college i'd write an essay about it. tbh i might still. i'm not even kidding. + lucy dacus mention!

the black dog. 10000000/10. the structure of this song is so pleasing to me and also the lyrics KILL ME. "i just don't understand how you don't miss me in the shower / and remember how my rain-soaked body was shaking / do you hate me?" ????!!! "I HOPE IT'S SHITTY IN THE BLACK DOG."

guilty as sin. 10/10 self explanatory. this is a BANGER and also? like? i love it i can't i vibe undeniably.

i can do it with a broken heart. 10/10. lyrics are tragic. beat is immaculate. feels like exactly how i have felt for the last few months! i feel very heard and seen! and am thankful i can bop to my depression! lights! camera! bitch! smile!!!

the alchemy. 10/10. i love a good trav song. and it's so catchy??? like yes please when i touch down call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team. the football references are peak. tbh i realllyyyy wanted the alchemy to be about joe (because of gold rush ofc) but i wasn't disappointed by this at alllll.

the smallest man who ever lived. 9.5/10. makes me cry! actually reminds me of my college ex... the parallels between this song and our relationship are kind of insane. also the bridge. without being too too personal, i was constantly paranoid in that relationship for several reasons and often felt like he maybe had an ulterior motive that involved ruining my reputation/hurting me for the pleasure of people who disliked me. which is kinda crazy but was a vvv real fear for me at the time. and this song gets it!

who's afraid of little old me? 9/10. high school meg would have loved this one. "you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me" lol. also sidenote having all my teeth pulled was a recurring childhood nightmare i had!

down bad. 9/10 yeah sounds about right. fuck it if i can't have [her]! (funnily enough She & I were discussing it when it came out and she was like "fuck it if i can't have you... i mean him" and we had The Smirk Moment)

so long, london. 9/10. perfectly describes everything i've been feeling recently (so long [boston] lmao). gets a point knocked because i can't listen unless i want to cry! this song was everything i couldn't say. :) + the peace parallels? crazy.

thanK you aIMee. 9/10. this one gets a 9/10 just for the sheer pettiness. FUC(K) YOU A(IM)EE. + andrea mention!

how did it end? 8.5/10. i sob. every time. without fail. just! the death! the dying! (it did not end well.)

the bolter. 8/10. another little meg song. she did a lotta running. this song is about idina sackville but i feel it in my SOUL. all her fucking lives flashed before her eyessssssssssssssssssssss!

but daddy i love him. 8.5/10. lowkey SO FUN and i love it! there is a field not far from me with lots of flowers and i take a bunch of zyrtec and put on a pretty dress and just go sit there for a few hours on weekends. i love it.

loml. 8/10. this song makes me sob. love of my life to loss of my life. lmao this album came at the PERFECT TIME. i needed it. "you shit talked me under the table talking rings and talking cradles i wish i could unrecall how we almost had it all" !!!! "WHEN YOUR IMPRESSIONIST PAINTINGS OF HEAVEN TURNED OUT TO BE FAKES WELL YOU TOOK ME TO HELL TOO". anyways.

the manuscript. 8/10. yeah this sounds like a little meg song. and also a college meg song (who struggled through being a writer and heartbroken and lovestruck). and a current meg song (who rereads her manuscripts and wonders whose life she is seeing). "he said if the sex was half as good as the conversation was soon they'd be pushing strollers". :') rip.

my boy only breaks his favorite toys. 8/10. it's a bop! i get it!

chloe or sam or sophia or marcus. 8/10. when i listen to this one i kinda just sit there and zone out for a while. it's a moment. i can't listen while driving because i'd crash. but i feel this song on a spiritual level.

fresh out the slammer. 8/10. hehehe i like this song. i don't have a whole lot to say about it except i really like how consistent it is and also how it is Moving On.

robin. 8/10. this song is so sweet and so sad. i'd sing this to my children. i wish i'd heard this when i was a child. it heals some part of me? tbh?

imgonnagetyouback. 7.5/10. this is indeed the kind of psycho we love. imnotgonnagetyouback but it's okay! i will still listen and vibe! #supportingwomen

so high school. 7.5/10. look okay it's silly and it gets shitted on but i like it. it's adolescent and fun and hahahah i like itttt. truth??? dare?????? spin bottles?????? YOU KNOW HOW TO BALL I KNOW ARISTOTLE!!!! brand new! full throttle! TOUCH ME WHILE YOUR BROS PLAY GRAND THEFT AUTO. taylor is CRAZY for that and i love it for her. also the scouts honor line is WILD.

cassandra. 7.5/10. i love this song. i understand what they mean. poor cassandra. this is mad woman's older sister. i get it. women! women women!

the albatross. 7/10. i like this song but the albatross metaphor is one i am Too Familiar With. "cross your thoughtless heart / only liquor anoints you" is kinda genius though!

florida!!! 7/10. maybe this is just my florida hatred showing through or maybe i'm just not super into it yet. it comes above fortnight because of florence welch though. <3

fortnight. 7/10. i found it? kind of mid? still good but the lack of post malone and inherent appeal to mainstream pop media sold it for me. :( music video was immaculate though!

i can fix him (no really i can). 7/10. again, reminds me of little meg but in kind of a painful way. also.... she could not fix him lol. she could not fix any of them for that matter.

peter. 7/10. this one is kinda bittersweet. i enjoy this song but it's got that blue tinge to it. "never to keep"

i look in people's windows. 7/10. more supporting of women! taylor.... you're crazy. i love you. you are kind of a deranged weirdo, but it's okay. personally you could not pay me to admit to stalking people but i love that you do!

i hate it here. 6.5/10. ngl the beginning slaps and i like some of the lines but the song is erratic? i did not grow up precocious (i don't think) but i was hyperlexic and did read a lot. this one just didn't hit like i thought it would as a chronic reader. :(

clara bow. 6/10. i love clara bow and stevie nicks and taylor swift and i understand the importance of this song! i just can't get into it right now :(

the prophecy. 6/10. i don't know why i can't get behind this one! i want to so badly! i just can't!!!!

overall: 1029302848/10. this album was life changing and arrived just when i needed it. i love it.

[femmetay]

i hope taylor's film she's making is about the bolter (idina sackville) and if it's not she should consider directing a film about the society life and wild wild times of The Bolter

Olga “Oggie” Lynn (1882-1961), born Lowenthal, was a singer and singing teacher, who, despite being somewhat older than most of the Bright Young Things, was a staple of their circle. She was “short,” “dumpy,” and “jolly,” and would often host tableuax vivants for charity or sing at parties with “a rather sweet, pure little voice” when she wasn't giving lessons. She “was inclined to get into situations with which she could not cope and was always being helped by her friends,” chief among them Oliver Messel.

For a time, she lived together with Gladys Cooper, Lady Idina Sackville, and Tallulah Bankhead. According to Chips Channon, she and Tallulah Bankhead were “the queens of London's wickedest world — la haute lesbie [coterie of smart lesbians].” Her girlfriend, Maud “the Admiral” Nelson (1904-1969), though “unable to type,” was secretary first to Napier, Lord Alington, and then Cecil Beaton. It is undoubtedly Maud Nelson to whom Anthony Powell refers when he describes the mixed make-up of the parties of the age:

At one end of the scale there'd be quite smart people, Diana Cooperish sort of figures and so on. At the other there'd always be a lot of these girls who were sort of living on the margin — you know, they'd do a little modeling; at the same time they were not quite tarts but they were being half kept. And then it would tail off into the queer, almost criminal world — lesbians dressed as admirals, that sort of thing. (emphasis mine, qtd. in Taylor, Bright Young People)

As a Christmas present, in 1933, Baba and Cecil Beaton gifted Olga Lynn a scrapbook filled with signed photographs of their friends, giving us a glimpse of her social circle. It included Lady Idina Sackville; Violet, Duchess of Rutland; Gertrude Lawrence; Lady Diana Cooper; Napier, Lord Alington; Sir Michael Duff; Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie; and Viola Tree.

Lady Idina Sackville and the Hon. Josslyn Hays, recently engaged, in Italy 1923 

[midsummerknife]

In an age of bolters—women who broke the rules and fled their marriages—Idina Sackville was the most celebrated of them all. Her relentless affairs, wild sex parties, and brazen flaunting of convention shocked high society and inspired countless writers and artists, from Nancy Mitford to Greta Garbo. But Idina’s compelling charm masked the pain of betrayal and heartbreak. Now Frances Osborne explores the life of Idina, her enigmatic great-grandmother, using letters, diaries, and family legend, following her from Edwardian London to the hills of Kenya, where she reigned over the scandalous antics of the “Happy Valley Set.” Dazzlingly chic yet warmly intimate, The Bolter is a fascinating look at a woman whose energy still burns bright almost a century later.

THE BOLTER.

To Kill a Mockingbird has been actually voted the best motivational publication of perpetuity, defeating the Holy bible right into 2nd place. When you build up a reasonable number of meals products (particularly ones with photos) you might locate Foodish decreases a little bit when switching over in between days (at least on apple iphone 3G), I don't know if the complication would become worse the more you utilized this, however that is actually not really any sort of slower in comparison to the majority of applications get along my slow-moving phone. I have means way too many images near the sunshine that I definitely wish maintaining the sun away, therefore this helps me! Deceptive manuals get drawn offline quickly yet usually re-emerge under a various title, cover, as well as writer's label. If you've still received Underworld pegged as that laddish 'beer, lager' band off Trainspotting, it is actually opportunity to acquaint on your own along with their timeless 4th cd. In-game food actually gives you experience points in the direction of the ability that determines your general wellness degree - therefore attempt to eat meals as usually as possible. Merely entertaining, http://azillata-atermeszet.info/ , and I neglected all about exactly what guide is actually definitely approximately. I will observed this manual prominently featured at numerous outlets (mayhap Oprah was actually currently recommending it as deserving charge), therefore when I found a copy at a resell purchase 'fitty' pennies, I thought some inadequate fool on the market somehow handled to verify they recognize much less concerning the market value from a dollar in comparison to I do. This was actually both sweet and also slick, even if the book wasted, I might possibly discharge this on ebay and also manage to in fact make some money out of the bargain. But I am convinced the harm done by manuals like this-like The Secret, The Celestine Prophecy, and everything ever written by the overdue PHYSICIAN Wayne Dyer (or, for that issue, just about anything he may ever prefer to route off past the tomb)- is far above the little good they may achieve. And you are welcome to whack me over the head along with a leather-bound copy of War and also Unity, yet I am actually such a fool for amazing book deals with! To be truthful, I postponed analysis this for a long opportunity, assuming I would not appreciate that as I do not ordinarily check out Inspirational. Unrestricted analysis: Get access to over 600,000 manuals including crowning achievements like The Lord of the Rings triumvirate, the Harry Potter set, Diary from a Frail Little one publications, Flash Boys: An Exchange Rebellion, Water for Elephants, Oh Myyy! I presume the brand-new fad in publications where everyone of the personalities is an asshole might be the way to go if you are writing a manual that you desire to have the planet through tornado along with. I knew this publication was Christian Fiction so I made certain that at the end the male would certainly reconcile with The lord yet I failed to assume the book to be preachy as well as therefore maudlin. This visibly toggles on its own off in settings, as well as other Nexus 6 owners have actually possessed the very same problem for fairly time right now. The article examines the shift in diet patterns because of urbanicity (disorders that are certain to metropolitan vs. non-urban regions), environment change, as well as the globalization of the food market. Do not spend your amount of money acquiring this manual if you truly desire to be mentally enhanced. I'll inform you right now, I liked this publication, but if that doesn't gain grip through many, I'll experience nourished that this is actually risk-free and valued on my shelf. The Line - The author has actually sought that no quotes be actually made use of up until guide is actually published overdue July. Markham kept a close, family-like like connection along with the Kipsigis guy who was her bestfriend in childhood years, as well as she mingled with the likes of Karen Blixen (aka Isak Dinesen, writer of Out of Africa), Denys Finch Hatton (an aficionado of both Blixen and also Markham-Dinesen left Markham out of her publication), the various times gotten married to Idina Sackville (Nancy Mitford's design for The Bolter in her publication The Interest from Affection) and the future (if quick) Master Edward VIII. http://azillata-atermeszet.info/ helps with ideal practices, but is actually additionally developed to intervene before things begin to get negative. Enlightened at Oxford as well as Harvard, she is the author of 5 manuals and has gained a lot of awards, consisting of Britain's Foreign Contributor from the Year 5 times, along with the Prix Bayeux-Calvados, Europe's most respected honor for war contributors. I found myself completely encircled in the tale and also not able to put the book down until I had actually completed. Each hat will certainly come during 2 amount of times throughout the year, too. I aren't sure if you ever viewed the flick or even read through the book, but I envision you like Ellie because film. On the internet native information is effective for short-form accounts, however if a label wishes to cut much deeper as well as develop a comprehensive story, the print publication is actually the excellent medium. I think this is actually primarily of scholastic passion and also this would really be quite tough and also rather complex job to administer that as aspect of your booking strategy.

As the sea liner of communism sinks under the weight from its personal gigantic incompetence (a good idea, yet the captain was drunk and also the staff were actually sticky-fingered rascals), you jump crazy, clamber on to the only available watercraft (commercialism) merely to discover that there's a gigantic tiger aboard which will definitely eat you unless you Oh eventually I obtain this. I read this a couple of years ago as well as this was meant to become all about The lord. Though this is actually ski run isn't however open, Doha Event Urban area has actually introduced a monthlong collection from destinations for children 5-12 years of ages. Emotionally manipulative books that experience as if the author set out with a plan to tug at my soul strands - that would certainly be actually As much as I as if a great love story, I would not call myself an intimate. Many diet prepare for weight-loss that are actually created by nutritionists and wellness specialists are actually accordinged to 1200 fats daily. Apple's Health app tracks your steps just alright, however that's horrendous at really showing any type of valuable details. The Sunshine is Additionally a Star through Nicola Yoon ended up being a splendid unpleasant surprise as I go through the book! I'll Give You the Sunlight supplies an actual present-day check out affection and also relationships. Likewise I am going to only quickly point out that while I perform presume that creating a comments on doctor helped self-destruction is crucial and also it's a subject matter that is worthy of dialogue, I do not think that this was actually the most effective or very most productive method to deal with that. General I think it carried out a lot more injury in comparison to great to use this as a story gadget in a book that's marketed as a love story.
