Many men had offered her many things in the past, love and friendship, luxury and jewels, entertainment, dogs, amusements, homage--some she had accepted, some refused, but no man before had offered her work. Peter had offered her that, he had offered her a share of his--not noble or inspiring or fascinating work, just his work, what he had. He had offered it her, called her great energies into play, and set her to work beside himself in a furrow. And she was glad; for some reason she found it very good.
--Desire by Una Lucy Silberrad
#books#jo walton has done it again#almost the only reason i ever look at tor.com these days is to read her monthly roundup of the books she's read#because a good chunk of her reading is the type of classics i love#including a lot of forgotten light classics of the early 20th century#this was one of those#mentioned in a column from last year that i happened to read the other day#with a review that said this should be one of those classics that everyone knows and reads#instead of being this completely forgotten book#and since it happened to be on hoopla (a common perk of these types of book recs from her) i read it#i don't think it's all-time classic great#but it's a solid middlebrow novel#the beginning was a bit of rough going but after the major part of the plot kicked off it become rather lovely#because there was a lot of the above#explorations of the value of work and friendships and relationships#and because of things like the above quote the central relationship is one of my favorite romances of the year#it's a solid relationship built on friendship and mutual respect#with both of them having stories and emotional journeys beyond the romance#reminded me a little bit of gaskell in some ways

Can't get the local indie rock station on the radio in my room (could charge the little add-on streaming device thing so I could play from my phone but.) so I put on tonight's game for the background noise and full disclosure when it comes down to it I know very little about baseball but it was very much the background noise to my childhood and I'm just very :') at how it sounds the same rn. It's 2003 and I'm in the Ford Explorer drivin' around with my dad. I'm in the front seat because it's a short trip and there's no passenger airbag. We just passed a White Hen. It's sunny and warm.
#i know nothing about baseball i just put on the ken burns documentary because it entertains my dad and it lulls me into a druglike stupor#perfect for a weekend evening#i read wikipedia pages of 19th/20th players with impossibly sad backstories#the announcer just now: have you ever been to eugene oregon#shoshi.txt#just saying words this evening#i moisturized i'm lying on my bed with the fan on it's great#also#just very soft still at jo having games on for noise while bucky's gone (because they're always on when he's home) (from the last ficlet)

All the pieces from the first two editions are included here, as well as new material bringing third and so-called fourth-wave feminism into conversation with twenty-first century politics. An ideal overview for budding feminists and an exciting reconsideration for seasoned radicals.

not over the fact that there's an account regulated by two female greek directors called theflowerofsmyrna (🥴) and it's supposed to be the ig of a greek girl living in 1920's Smyrna ... it would be funny if it weren't so.
#don't get me wrong the account is set up with good intentions and the girl's actually fun and cute...like an heterochronic greek Jo March#it's not nationalist or anything but adfgdgsgshams the Cringe.#bestie no early 20th century teen would post Venizelos fanart or have sooo 21st century-projected feminist ideas#interesting as an experiment tho

Because no story set in Texas is complete without a minimum of two good old-fashioned Texan shoot-outs, a gunfight ensued.
