“If I had time travel I’d kill Hitler” “If I had time travel I’d stop my favourite politician getting assassinated” you’re all thinking way too small. If I had time travel I’d stop Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from dying on the moon due to Soviet sabotage, kicking off the Great Nuclear War and devastating half of the planet.

At Target this lady told her son he couldn’t have a Wonder Woman doll because “that’s for girls” and then bought her daughter the same one. It got me thinking about how often I see people bar young boys from appreciating girls/women as protagonists and heroes, and my own experience with it as a kid.

RIP to Todd Anderson, Neil Perry, Charlie Dalton, Steven Meeks, Gerard Pitts, Knox Overstreet, Richard Cameron and most importantly John Keating. All of you would have hated AI

People still tend to lump JK Rowling in with the category of ~problematic artists~ and I need everyone to understand that is not the problem with her. She is not comparable to anyone who wrote a piece of fiction you hate, or someone who made rude comments in 2015 and has since learned better.

She is far more like Elon Musk. She is a radicalized person with an extreme amount of social and financial power, and for YEARS she has been using that power to try to influence her government into hurting vulnerable people, on purpose. And she has succeeded. THAT is the problem with her, and THAT is why spending money on her books is so dangerous, not because her books aged badly.

Critiquing her work is fine, of course (I personally was never a fan so I really don’t care) but you NEED to understand that fiction is not the main issue here. And I truly think acting like she’s the same as the rest of any giant list of ~problematic creators of the week~ waters down how dangerous she is.

A storybook and his author

... we're all just stories in the end, just make it a good one eh?" the doctor's voice was coming from the tv in the small living room, and then echoing in his head.

we're all just stories

we're all just stories

stories

stories

The old rickety device decided not to work most evenings, and when it did, only played that one episode from BBC 1, aired years- decades- ago. He hadn't quite understood what kind of a story he was then, an enigma; a danger, to himself and to others.

and then he'd found out, discovered it with a boy named after a star. The boy wrote his story the way he wrote french poetry: elegantly and completely intertwined with his being.

it was a good story, once it was even a great one.

The thoughts ensnared him, he got up from his spot on the creaky floorboards, picking up the bottle next to him and started walking towards the tall evergreens behind the cottage.

you see, he knew. he knew that every storybook is bound inside a cover, even the ones that were written in between the constellations, the love letters and the kisses shared under a crescent moon.

and he knew that his story had reached the back cover.

Remus gently clicked the glass of the bottle to the white marble surrounded by yellow star-grass, creating a constellation for him, and whispered

I brought your favourite old man

he could hear the laughter in his response

I'm younger than you by a whole month- if anyone's old its you.

a sad smile creeped on to the edge of his lips, but he didn't let them tremble like his hands.

he laid down next to him, as close as he could possibly get, like they did in the early pages, under the covers and behind the curtains on a single bed in a dormitory in Scotland.

his wet cheeks touched the wet soil and it felt like a gentle kiss.

This story had reached its resting place with his author.

When you're a kid/teenager everyone expects you to base your career around your passions and interests and that works for a lot of people but it's not the full story. I wish they would also teach students to consider the lifestyle that career would require.

Like... if I had to choose a passion and work a career around it, I would probably work at a zoo or aquarium. But those jobs require a lot of schooling with STEM classes (which I hate) and a lot of early mornings (which make me feel ill) and an obligation to work in person with no flexibility to move (which makes me depressed). So even if I'd enjoy caring for animals all day, it's not a good career path for me.

My current job is travel writing, which is not my passion. I like it, but it's not my passion. But I work a flexible schedule, I can live anywhere, I get a travel stipend, and my team is really chill. So it works for me.

Rather than solely focusing on "What topics do you like?" I think we should ask students "Of the careers that suit your preferred lifestyle, which are the most interesting?"

I saw someone say that by dying in the bombing that Prim died the way she was always meant to if Katniss hadn't intervened. Surrounded by innocent children. I haven't been the same since.
