also I just realized what else the 1976 a star is born is missing! the masculinity commentary is so lacking!! the 1937 had obvious gay coding (thank you dorthy parker’s bisexual alcoholic husband who milled himself) and then its like fredric march there and james mason in the 54 one it’s like actors both known for the lilt to their voice, a certain feminine intonation etc. and in the 1976 version it’s like they have the opportunity to do this thing where he’s uber masculine but it’s hiding an insecurity and sure they KIND of do it but not really at all and then a star is born 2018 does exactly that perfectly (he’s doing man drag !!! he stole his brothers voice!! it’s genius) and it’s like wow 1976 a star is born you really fucked this up

Happy Birthday Dorthy Parker

And then there is the nurse who tells me she is afraid she is an incorrigible flirt. but somehow she just can't help it. She also pronounces "picturesque" picture- skew, and "unique" un-i-kew, and it is amazing how often she manages to introduce these words into her conversation, leading the laughter herself. Also.

when she leaves the room, she says see you anon." I have not shot her yet.

Maybe Monday And, above all, there is the kindhearted if ineffectual gentleman across the hall.

where he lies among his gallstones, who sent me in a turtle to play with. Honest. Sent me in a turtle to play with. I am teaching it two-handed bridge. And as soon as I get really big and strong I am going to race it to the end of the room and back.

Can sıkıntı varsa ilacı merak. Merak yoksa ise... ona bir ilaç yok. - Dorthy Parker Merak duymak için hayatınızdaki fazlalıkları atmanız gerekir. Daha fazla şey ekleyerek olacağını düşünmüyorum. Ekleyerek değil, çıkartarak olabilir bence

[ineffectualdemon]

I watched a YouTube video last night about social media and how it warps perceptions of mental illness

And for the most part I didn't disagree and got the point they were making

EXCEPT when she was talking about how Tumblr romanticised mental Illness

1. She implied the communities and tabs regarding mental illness solely were to do with romanticising it into an aesthetic.

Which totally disregards the many posts that I and others made with resources to get help

2. She basically said that making depression into an artistic aesthetic started with Tumblr

HELLO?

Has she never heard of the tortured artist trope? Which goes back to at least the Victorian times

In the 1920s Dorthy Parker wrote a poem called Resumé which would fit the parts of Tumblr that romanticise mental illness easily

Razors pain you;

Rivers are damp;

Acids stain you;

And drugs cause cramp.

Guns aren’t lawful;

Nooses give;

Gas smells awful;

You might as well live.

-

And that's only one of her poems that would fit. And that's from 100 years ago

I'm not saying it's fine to romanticise mental illness

Just that blaming Tumblr for creating the problem is...short sighted at best

Name Ideas ; List One (A-J + Double First Names)

FIRST, A Note: I’ve realized that these names can also help with writing; example, you’re making character (or in my case, using character from a fandom but need to name their kid), but don’t have a name? Here’s some help!

In short, the name ideas are going to be reposted on either my main or fic-rec blogs...or both. Not that it has anything to do with posting name help...

NEXT, A Guide: So these are male, female, gender neutral, basically just names. I’ve included “multi-first names”, example; in one of my fics, I named a child “William Claud / Will Claud”. Boom, double first namer.

Okay, uh, To the names I guess?!

Two first names, not alphabetized ;

Jonathan James (JJ)

Jamie Daniel (JD)

Devon Jack (DJ)

Spencer Lane

old name choice of mine, I’m excited but tbh it has nothing to do with your choice... continue 😅

Tyla Jane (TJ)

Tyler/Taylor Jayden (TJ)

Kaleb Dexter (KD)

Jacob Thomas (JT)

Kieran Drew (KD)

Parker Gray

Oliver Jay (O-Jay/OJ...lol)

Alex Emerson

Jack William (Jack Will)

Spencer Thomas

Tommi/Tommy Joel

Avery Jones (AJ)

Bree Anne/Ann 

Or / Really any two names you think sound good together. AND while I added things like “AJ” and “JT” at the end for abbreviations or whatever, the nickname / shortened name doesn’t have to be two letters. Example, Spencer Lane and Jack Will!

COMMENTARY:

Quoting Dorthy Parker is always appropriate

[barchiestories]

I can't lose her (part 2)

Archie looked in the mirror, he was dressed head to toe in the tissue like fabric, even his feet were covered.

The image of Betty being wheeled off replayed over and over in his mind. Even though it had only happened 15 minutes ago

“Mr.Andrews “ a nurse’s voice broke his daydream.

He looked toward the woman

“We’re ready for you if you’d follow me” she waved.

Archie followed her down the hall to a room

“Archie!” Betty sighed

He rushed to her side. They already had a curtain up below her chest

“I was scared they were going to forget to go and get you and start the surgery without you here” she breathed

He ran a hand through her hair “I’m here” he said looking at her adoringly. The same way he had since they were in third grade

They began the caesarean, Archie sat at Betty’s head.

“Dad wanna come down here and see the action?” Dr.Floyd offered from Betty’s pelvic area.

Archie shook his head “I’ll stay up here with her”

A couple minutes passed, nurses passed The doctor tools and such as he yelled out terms.

Betty was biting her lip and making odd facial expressions

“You okay babe? Are you not completely numb? Should I stop them?” He asked worried

Betty shook her head “No I can’t feel anything, it just feels funny.” She explained

He nodded rubbing the pad of his thumb over her forehead soothingly. A few more minutes passed till finally.

“It’s a girl!” Dr.Floyd announced holding up a baby. She didn’t look like Fenix did when he was born. Like an average newborn she was bloody with pink skin. But she was so tiny and skinny looking.

Archie looked down at Betty and smiled “Hear that Bets? We have identical twin girls”

She gave him a tired smile “Yeah” She mustard out.

Another cry filled the room, “And of course baby B is a girl as well! “ Dr.Floyd announced holding up the second baby who looked just like the first .

Archie leaned down kissing Betty’s temple “You did great my love”

He was ready for them to bring the babies to them for them to hold and meet. With Fenix as soon as Betty pushed him out they laid him immediately on her chest.

But this birth was very different . He watched as two nurses carried their babies away.

“Hey stop!” Archie stood up, but still held Betty’s hand “Where are they taking our babies?” He asked looking at a nurse since Dr.Floyd was busy finishing stitching Betty up.

She looked at him, seemingly annoyed “To the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, they need to be evaluated.”

He looked down at Betty, through her tired look she seemed worried too “Go to our babies Arch.”

He shook his head squatting down to her “Im not leaving you.”

She gave him a weak smile “I’m fine, they’ll wheel me back to the room. And that’s about it, but our babies need you.” She encouraged

He nodded “I’ll come back with an update as soon as possible “ he pressed a quick kiss to her lips before leaving the room.

He easily found the NICU, but wasn’t allowed to just walk in. He had to show Id to prove he was the little girls’ father.

Once inside a nurse lead him to an incubator, inside where the two tiny babies laid. He had taken note though that they weren’t the smallest. There were others who seemed smaller. With cords,tubes and wires connected to their little bodies. It didn’t seem right that babies just starting out at life had to fight so hard to live.

“We see where they get it.” The nurse smiled

He rose an eyebrow “Get what?”

Then he saw what the nurse meant. Both girls had small little swirls of red hair on top of their little heads

Archie was surprised when he looked at his girls, they each only had one tube on them.

“This is baby A, She has a tube in her mouth because she is having a hard time eating.” She pointed to one “But she’s breathing great on her own.”

Then she pointed to the other baby “This is Baby B, she has a tube on her nose because unlike her sister she is eating on her own fine but not breathing on her own as good as we’d like.”

He nodded peering into the babies machine. They were tiny and wrinkly and aside from their red hair it was hard to pinpoint who they looked like

“Do they have names?” The nurse asked

Archie looked up to meet her eyes “My wife and I have some chosen but I want her to meet them before we choose”

She nodded understandably “You can tell your wife that they are of identical heights both are 15 inches”

He nodded wanting her to continue

“Baby A weighs 3.3lbs and baby B weighs 3.5lbs. At this point we don’t know how long they will stay here. It all depends on how soon they start eating and breathing on their own and gaining weight.”

He nodded

“Skin to skin is great therapy for them. Would you like to do it?” She asked

Archie nodded, when he took off his shirt he didn’t notice the stares he got from some of the other woman in the room. He was more focused on the elderly nurse who was carefully taking Baby A out of the incubator. He sat in a chair, the woman gently placed her on his bare chest,she went back and got Baby B doing the same. She covered them with a warm blanket.

Archie looked down at his girls on his chest “Nice to meet you princesses. I’m your daddy”

Baby B’s lip quirked up and he smiled “Yeah? You like the sound of that?” He loved the feeling of holding his little girls “Your mommy is going to be so happy to hear you’re doing well. She is resting right now but just wait till you meet her.” He smiled “She’s the best. We’ve known each other since we were 4....pretty cool huh?”

He sighed reveling in the moment “You have a brother-Fenix. He’s two...almost 3 and so excited to be a big brother. Hopefully the excitement stays when he finds out you guys are girls.” He chuckled “Don’t tell anyone but I’ve always wanted a little girl. And now look at me. I have 2”

He stayed there with the girls on his chest till the nurse came back and said it was time for them to go back into the machine.

Archie complied, giving his girls a kiss on the tops of their heads. Bidding them a goodbye before going to Betty.

She slept for another hour after he entered the room, Archie waited at her bedside. Eventually Betty woke up, a smile playing her lips when she saw him “How are my babies?” She asked immediately

He smiled “They’re doing alright” he assured, pulling out his phone to show her the photos he had taken.

Betty smiled “They have red hair” she noted

“Yeah they do. And they’re beautiful like their mommy” he leaned forward pecking her lips

Betty continued to look at the photo “What is the tubes on them for?” She asked

He sighed “Baby A is breathing fine but needs help eating. Baby B is eating fine but needs help breathing. The nurse seemed to think they’ll be okay though” he assured “They’re both 15 inches long. Baby A weighs 3.3 lbs and baby B is 3.5”

She nodded “As soon as they let me get up we are going down there so I can meet my babies and we can name them.” She pointed

Archie nodded “Yeah, I don’t want to be referring to them as Baby A and Baby B forever.” He teased

She smiled at Him

The next day they approved her to go downstairs as long as Archie was pushing her in a wheel chair. She held baby B he held Baby A

“So,” the lady smiled “Any names?”

Archie nodded at the baby in his arms “Well Betty we decided when I named Fenix we’d take turns naming our kids. Since this is Baby A you name her.”

She smiled reaching out an arm, he rested baby in it so she could look at her, she ran a finger along the bridge of her nose “Parker. After Dorthy Parker. My favorite poet.”

Archie smiled taking Baby B from her arms “That means it’s your turn to name her” Betty nodded, he grinned

“Presley, after Elvis Presley....he was one of my dads favorite singers.” Archie smiled down at the newborn.

The woman smiled “Its great to have something to call these little ladies now. But it’s time for them to go back into the incubator “ she informed taking Presley from Archie ”Gotta let them ’bake’ as much as possible so they can come home” she smiled getting Perker from Betty.

------------------

Three weeks later they were strapping their babies into their car seats. They were officially breathing and eating on their own.

Baby A-Parker was now and even 5lbs and baby B Parker was 5.3lbs

“You ladies ready to go meet your big brother?” Archie cooed

Betty smiled “And dont forget Gram Gram Andrews” she said happily ”Even though she's already met you guys.”

Archie nodded ”And all your aunts and uncles. Everyone is so excited to meet you two”. He adjusted the straps on Parker’s car seat to ensure it was correct

He grabbed one car seat in each hand and looked toward Betty ”You ready?”

”Defintly” she nodded

He grinned ”This is it. No turning back now. Once we are home we will be a family of 5 instead of 3. It's going to be crazy”

Betty smiled, it was crazy to think, they would possibly have one more after this (Archie wanted a big family) ”With you by my side I can handle anything” she leaned toward him

Archie grinned leaning over and pecking her lips ”I couldn't agree more.”

Together they walked out of the hospital with their two healthy baby girls.

On the go and on the hunt for “The Perfect Flat” — check into the @aprilparkershoes #ad . . . April Parker has created The Perfect Flat. This shoe is the most comfortable flat I own! The cushions on the bottom really help shock absorb when I am walking, and I really love the grain of leather. It fits your foot like a glove. What makes them unique from other brands is the interchangeable emblems on the shoes. That's right! You can collect different styles and change them out with your outfits. They are magnetic and very cool! I have the leopard and gold ones on in the photo!  . . . #aprilparker #aprilparkershoes #flats #comfyflats #cincinnatiinfluencers #cincinnatimom #cincinnatilife #cincinnati #angieknowsthetruth #cincinnatiblogger #review #shoereview #onlineshopping #christmaslist #giftsforwomen #giftsforwomenunder100 #giftsformom #citylife #cityflats #shoegame #shoelife #shoelover #styleblogger #dorthy #wizardofoz #amazonlife #amazonprime #myshoestory #APflats (at Cincinnati) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4qJwuMhneJ/?igshid=x060c5prca52

60 Books is 2019 #22: Farewell Dorthy Parker by Ellen Meister

Sometimes you read a book, and it's just not very good at all, but it's the book that you read.

Farewell Dorthy Parker is fluffy, short, kind of odd, and not particularly good.

I like fluff, I love ghost stories and I’m actually a big fan of Mrs. Parker, but this book is only 300 pages and long and is trying to do way too much in that pithy little package.

Film critic Violet’s life is kind of a mess. She’s stuck in a dead end relationship with a semi-alcoholic. She’s spent the last year…

[stylecouncil]

every a star is born (not you 1976 version) kind of the most romantic movie ever made in their own unique way I’m not sure how they pulled it off. dorthy parker and her bisexual alcoholic husband who ended up killing himself got it so right.

[bromine]

The sun's gone dim, and The moon's turned black; For I loved him, and He didn't love back.

Dorothy Parker

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.
