Lorna, I don't understand you.

(Bomb Girls)
I have a difficult time sympathizing with Lorna. Give or take a few scenes, she’s just been incredibly unappealing and unlikable. There’s nothing/no one that she stands for or is loyal to. What does she believe in —- anything at all? It bothers me how untrue she is to everyone around her and especially herself.
… what?
Lorna is INCREDIBLY loyal....

I went to the International Antiquarian Book Fair today in Pasadena . IT WAS AMAZING. But I felt very young, very Asian, and very poor! But, oh, to have a collection. I sat in during a panel (Pat Morrison was hosting!) and some people were talking about books they owned that were in near mint condition and from the 1500s. FIFTEEN HUNDRED, FOR CHRISSAKE.
The only antiquarian book I own is a...

It is Marvelous to Wake Up Together
It is marvelous to wake up together At the same minute; marvellous to hear The rain begin suddenly all over the roof, To feel the air suddenly clear As if electricity had passed through it From a black mesh of wires in the sky. All over the roof the rain hisses, And below, the light falling of kisses. An electrical storm is coming or moving away; It is the prickling air that wakes us up. If...

“I looked at the sky, at all the stars that were in it. More stars than seemed...”
– Fingersmith, Sarah Waters
This book killed me. I picked it up along with some other books randomly at a sale at school, hardcover and no jacket, for a buck. No idea what it was about so I was in a sort of shock and awe through most of it — OMG VICTORIAN LESBIANS?! — OMG TWIST ?!?!...

What happens if you fall in love with a writer?
karenfelloutofbedagain:
Lots of things might happen. That’s the thing about writers. They’re unpredictable. They might bring you eggs in bed for breakfast, or they might all but ignore you for days. They might bring you eggs in bed at three in the morning. Or they might wake you up for sex at three in the morning. Or make love at four in the afternoon. They might not sleep at all. Or they might...

Practicing by Marie Howe
I want to write a love poem for the girls I kissed in seventh grade,
a song for what we did on the floor in the basement
of somebody’s parents’ house, a hymn for what we didn’t say but thought:
That feels good or I like that, when we learned how to open each other’s mouths
how to move our tongues to make somebody moan. We called it practicing, and
one was the boy, and we paired off—maybe...

abwhoretion:
I have a tab open of a picture of Harriett Tubman that I switch to whenever my parents walk in and think I’m doing homework.
I think I’ve been doing it since fifth grade idk why they haven’t caught on I just stare intently at the picture until they leave.
Dying, laughing.
