public libraries are so sick. there are five books I want to read and they're all relatively new so they're only available in hardback which is so expensive but it just cost me $0 to place holds on them. five books for zero dollars. it requires nothing but clicking a button and then going to the library to pick them up when they're ready. zero dollars. that's crazy

Significant Women in Film History: 1900s-1920s

Anita Loos (1881-1981)

Born in 1881, Anita Loos spent her childhood in San Francisco. At the age of eight, her father urged Loos and her sister to begin acting in a stock company. Although acting made money for Loos and her family, she held dreams of being a writer. By 1911, Loos would be introduced to short films through the theater where she acted, which would play the reels after performances. She would soon try her luck writing screenplays and soon be writing and sending in scripts to the Biograph company. Her scenario The New York Hat would be the first to be produced. By 1915 she had moved to Hollywood, where D.W Griffith secured her a job on the payroll at the Triangle Film Corporation, making her the first writer to ever be put on a payroll at a production company. She would go on to write a number of sucessful action films for Douglass Fairbanks. Her films were often noted for their witty intertitles and Photoplay would go on to dub Loos as” The Soubrette of Satire” because of this. Throughout the 10’s and 20s, Loos screenwriting career would continue to prosper. By 1925 Loos would publish her most famous work Gentlemen Prefer Blondes which would be adapted into a film starring Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russel in 1953 (although she had no part in this particualr adaption). The novel proved popular enough that she would be able to adapt her novel for the Broadway stage not soon after and write a sequel, But Gentlemen Marry brunettes in 1927. Although she took a break due to marital issues she would return to writing for the silver screen with Red Headed Women and continue to write for MGM throughout the 1930s. In 1936 she would win an Academy Award for the film San Francisco. She would write the screenplay for one of the most famous films of the 1930s, The Women in 1939. Although she was apprehensive about changes the censors required, the film has gone on to remembered for its sharp dialogue that only Loos could have written. Throughout the 1940s she continued writing for the screen and stage. By the 1950s her biggest contribution would be the stage adaption of Collette’s Gigi, starring the then unknown Audrey Hepburn who Loos claimed to have discovered in a hotel lobby in Monte Carlo. By the 1960s she would go on to begin writing a volume of memoirs which she would continue to do into the 1970s. On August 18, 1981, Loos would die from natural causes.

Enemies to "I accidentally came across you while you were vulnerable and scared and I'm not a total asshole so I tried to help you" to "accidental mutual uncovering of softer sides and vulnerabilities" to "I can't be mean to you anymore, not out of pity but because it would feel weird betraying that brief truce we had" to "Fine I'll make an effort to be nice to you now I guess" to "actually now that we're not actively hating each other you're not so bad I guess" to "i think we're friends but I'm not going to say that because I'm afraid you're not gonna feel the same way" to "oh you also think we're friends? Great" to lovers

The Prince of Wales visited Woodgate Valley Urban Farm, a city farm dedicated to supportingchildren and young people struggling to access education and those experiencing mental health challenges. Woodgate Valley Urban Farm runs a range therapeutic programmes for children involving children and nature. Based on a six-acre site of farm, woodlands and orchards, it is home to a variety of animals including Grey Face Dartmoor Sheep. Participants are provided one-to-one support whilst on-site, and results have shown that children regularly visiting the farm see a marked improvement in their mental health and wellbeing. During his visit, William met staff and volunteers and was taken on a tour of the grounds. He heard first-hand about the work they do with children and joined a group of participants in some of their regular programmed activities including taking care of animals.
