When an old friend knows your (hippy) heart is hurting and sends something to cheer you up. Rainbows, unicorns and tie-dye. Does it get any better?

was jaded and bored of the world until an old schoolchum called on me in my sickbed and found me in my brocade robe reading Childe Harold and crying a lot like I'm sick of being a very specific cliché from the Hays code but it's very funny when I recognize it in myself

I wrote you a letter said James Joyce Having trapped me in the back of his plush rolls Royce. What’s the content? What’s it about? Hoho, don’t you worry, you’ll soon find out. This isn’t a letter, like one for you wife? For her that is fine , for her that’s alright, But not for an old friend, an old pal like me, An old schoolchum of yours from university. He said nothing, no word out of him Behind his eye-patched eye pealed waves and waves of sin. I opened the letter It could’ve been better I felt my skin go pale Smelt the thick reek of strong ale And as I fell to moral abnegation I wished I’d taken d.h. Lawrence up on his invitation.

and see now i didnt know masterpiece was gonna do an adaptation of little women.....i dont know if ive ever watched one all the way through

its a fun book if only because of how goddamn long it is, you get to be all following along and stuff......and like individual chapters can be fairly charming b/c its just like...cozy and all. and some scenes are just particularly fun....the Lively Second Oldest self-insert in jo is great too. cutting off all her hair scandalously, always an icon for that. its been ages since i last read through it so i’m like....feeling like theres some classic jo antic im missing here. its really too bad that she had to end up paired off with some older good christian father figure type guy out of nowhere, maybe b/c honestly it wouldve been too good if she got to date the other wild child of the night who was her bff and all....like, everything that happens is bound by Morals and virtuous christian lessons, rather than the characters or even the plot, which is overall just kind of like “several years pass”

coz as snuggly a read as it is and as fun as certain scenes are and following along with the characters are, its so constrained by the Moral Lessons for Virtuous Young Girls that every single arc has to land on. and i mean the author louisa may alcott was completely annoyed for that same reason too, she was actually having to make the book ultimately be a sort of christian guide for christian readers and it mustve been exasperating, especially for like, writing a book actually about girls and what they are like as people in their own women-only home, vs how you have to tell them how to be

off the top of my head, some particularly annoying points that were all “X character has to learn Y godly christian life path lesson”:

meg getting her hair burnt for all her vanity of trying to curl it like a god damn temptress instead of relying on ye olde humble godgiven natural looks

the entirety of what happens to meg after being married, aka in perpetual domestic servitude that required nonstop docility and charming housewifely attitude and being patronized by her Always Right husband and his manly wisdom and sensibility. i dont think louisa may alcott was fond of the concept of a married womans life, especially as per whatever christian morality had to say about it for 19th cent women

jo being lectured by her father figure i-guess-eventual-husband over the fact she made money as a writer via pulp stories, instead of like, following her heart as like a novelist or whatever. like she’s sinful for writing sensational lowly drivel and trying to get some god damn cash. i think she still has the chronically ill sister at that point. like lay off, you ass.

that same guy having to ward off the Evil Corrupting Modern Atheists. ok i get it. jesus and all

ok now im remembering married meg getting all In Trouble with her husband for buying herself expensive fabric for a dress. and feeling all ashamed like, her character is basically treated like a child in contrast with the unerring Good Sense of her husband and all his quiet mature disappointment in things she does and its like, good god. you were more respected during courtship. and ok i get it meg is so vain for caring about looks and clothes and hair and ughhhhhhH

and its funny with amy and her limes as the “following a schoolchums Trend and caring about social standing rather than being steadfast and detached from such frivolous matters” lesson but like also, let her have the 1860s equivalent of a beyblade or whatever and worry abt the immature stuff that matters to a like 10 yr old or whatever. jeez. christianity...

jo of course has to be punished for having a temper and has to settle down from her freespirited, unladylike ways in her maturity like.....yah ok

there’s like 827 chapters so of course a lot of them are just....especially heavy handed Lessons Of The Moment and dont even hardly have a plot

a lot of the Relationships in the end have to do with one character deciding to morally chastise another

im sure i’ll think of more Things That Chafed Most later. its like. Sigh

theres the time beth is the only one not affected by Sloth to go care for some sickly orphans and then she gets sick and nearly dies and doesnt but then does, so maybe thats a lesson in “dont overdo it.” syke she was pretty much A Timid Churchmouse Saint type so like...clearly her archetype was “actually too good for this world” and she had to die or else be cloistered forever. nowhere to go for that character type sorry. except heaven

also there is just a total lack of sexuality to anyone or anything at any time. everyones affections are very courtly and there is like, no concept of...idk, kissing even. jo is all “ugh why would you want to marry anyone, gross,” and its like, right on, and then she’s like “but anyways i myself will now marry this old scholarly dude who keeps acting like a dad at me” and its like. sigh. ppl have kids though too? it just........occurs...

but its got the fun parts anyways......i still remember a couple wild misconceptions i had the first time i read the book, the largest of which was that i completely missed the fact that beth dies like two thirds of the way through the book. i finished the book without noticing. i went about my life without noticing. i may have actually only noticed upon rereading it all later. she dies very euphemistically.

i also on my first reading didnt quite get the precise historical/cultural context in the very beginning b/c i didnt realize that like, describing laurie as brown and firmly establishing that he has dark eyes/skin/hair actually herein meant, like, “italian” rather than that he was black. it wasnt until i got a fair number of chapters past his introduction that i came across an illustration and was like ???????? whom?

well anyhow. i meant to be drawing rn instead of saying all this so i’ll just dump this out

This week's 🏫classes were some of the best yet!!! Yesterday we made over 12 liters of cauliflower and 🥦 cheese 🍲 and 5 dozen buttermilk 🥐 biscuits. The classes were so great yesterday. We laughed🤣 so hard at the boys "roasting" each other and being cheeky. Then I had to showcase my own 👑"Roasting Mastery" by giving each boy a gentle funny little ribbing. We were literally in stitches that carried into today when I took some🍿 popcorn to them in the Library. I'll never forget them laughing so hard together, it was awesome!! It's the tail end of 🥶🌨️ Winter here in Tassie and it has been raining heavily since Saturday. Lots of indoor recess and no garden lunches had my Homies bumming so today we made Vegan taco meat for killer bowls, tacos, and quesadillas. 🌮🌯🥗 We even had a sweet baking session where we made Double chocolate chip and pepita🍪 cookies. My kiddos really needed some fun, and I can safely say the giggles proved we found the fun zone! These 3 Legends did all the taco prep and cookies portioning for both classes today. 😇They wanted to help get everything done, so they skipped eating to cater for their schoolmates! I was so impressed by their largesse that I made them Taco kits to take home and enjoy. 🥰 These school chums of mine are the best! 🥰🥰 Love Miss Honey 🍒🍯 #honeychildscreole #misshoney #vegantacos #thibautsveggies #schoolchums #kingstonkiddos #3futurecommunityleaders #abdullah #hunter #jingwei #asha #fabian #madison #jordan #msteresa #mscindy #mshailey #scarlett #pip https://www.instagram.com/p/ChWkPIHr83z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Kinda remincing about introducing schoolchums to the Amps, and being really excited bout the sound and everybody was like "oh yeah, sounds kinda cool i guess" and theycwould act like it was no big deal what kim deal was doing, like it was just a side project throwaway thing AND YET these same people conspired to "borrow" the CD from me (essentially stealing it coz i never got it back from the gurl i had a crush on) and making mix tapes for "cool kids" with Amps songs on them. And i never got any cred for even being "the guy kinda into cool music " , even though i was bustin my ass finding the best shit. Lmao wtf. This was years before napster and youtube were even on da radar too. Ingrates!

Miss Honey 🍯 week 2. Thibaut brought in a good pile of gorgeous beans. Some were tender, plump, and crisp so I just cracked the ends and pulled the strings. 🌱🌿The older drier, starting to shrivel pods held firm creamy beans🫘 that will be delicious with their tender friends. The harvest yielded enough for slow cooking in smoked chicken broth with potatoes and cornbread I'll make the kiddos when the days turn chilly. I cannot wait to teach them about Appalachian cuisine and the way meat is a seasoning base, not the focus of the plate for so many. They love hearing what other kids are eating.💗 But selfishly for me, the best part of kicking off the academics in late Summer is all the great produce that I can store for Winter. I'll be drying nashi pear chips, blistering tomatillos, and peeling tomatoes until they are gone. I'm going to really give these kiddos a palate passport and then some! The garden gave us some delicious 🍓 strawberries too but I plucked them and have them to the 1st graders in the library. All in all I'd say we are off to a delicious and mindful school year. ❤️ Miss Honey 🍯🍒 #honeychildscreole #honeychild_oz #24carrotgardens #kpm #schoolchums #stringbeans #tasmanianproduce #seasonaleating #fromgardentogob #wellfedchildren #soulwork #betterchoices https://www.instagram.com/p/CaESzAPrBhZ/?utm_medium=tumblr
