Which Underrated Woman from History are You?

Finally got around to making a uquiz featuring six of my favourite women from history! You can either get someone from the French Revolution, Roman Republic (I know, how unexpected!) or from 1700s/early 1800s.

Featuring scientists, writers, politically active icons and a few poets whose lives were intertwined with theirs, as a treat!

Enjoy and thanks everyone for sharing! ✨

People be like "that's not realistic" as if the entire universe is not a living miracle beyond our wildest imagination.

Here's the thing about endings . . . Even after you finish a book, things go on happening, no matter whether or not you plan to write them down.

Please donate to @fadisharif ’s fund to help evacuate his family from Ghazzah. This is a trusted campaign. They are at $28k out of their $62,500 goal — they are a little over halfway to the amount needed to evacuate ($52,500 — with $10k needed to help with expenses in Egypt)! Help get them to safety and survive in Egypt.

As a thank you, have my beloved Fedallah my best friend Fedallah hanging out with the ship’s cat. Please donate and share.

[ID: 1st image — A digital drawing of Fedallah from Moby Dick, sitting on the deck of a ship with a sleepy cat in his lap. He is a thin, older Persian man with light brown skin, hair tightly wrapped in a white turban, and a beard and wide mustache. He wears a long white tunic and gray-purple pants, along with a knee brace on his right leg. He sits leaning against the ship’s mast, smiling cheekily at the viewer. He has his braces knee up and is holding the orange-white-and-black car in his lap, his other leg extended. In the background we see the deck of the ship on a sunny day. 2nd image — A closeup on Fedallah and the cat. 3rd image — A screenshot of a GoFundMe called "Please Help Evacuate Fadi's Family from Gaza." It shows three photos of a man with a baby. The progress bar reads "$28,960 raised of $62,500 goal - 1K donations." End ID.]

I've been reminded that Dracula Daily is about to start up again! I missed it the first time round but oh boy I'm excited to hear about this kid Jonathan and his holiday to Transylvania, sounds like it'll be lost of fun and he'll have a good time!

It's an email list that sends events 'as they happen' in the story and you can sign up here, it starts May 3rd!

had to look hard to find Cole’s old (these are like relics) seven short stories about drones (they actually show up pretty quick, no clue why I couldn’t find them for a long time:) these were all originally individual tweets, I believe he did them as off the dome as any tweet is—-

I love you best. You're not like the rest.

october '23 favs:

the second sex — it only took me 5 months, but i finally finished reading the feminist bible, and it was worth every second. i genuinely believe this is required reading for everyone!!

the banshees of inisherin — a script of the 2022 irish film. we follow two lifelong friends who find themselves at an impasse when one abruptly ends their relationship, with alarming consequences for them both. full of heart, melancholic, and perfect for a quick read <3

a dowry of blood — a beautiful reimagining of dracula, from the perspective of his first wife. lyrical, dark, seductive, and gorgeously queer!!

you can find in-depth thoughts of every book i read this month on my substack!! 🤎
