At Reed, we don’t say “I love you.” We say “thesis thesis Doyle Owl Renn Fayre fire Hum Lecture 420 atheism communism free love.” Which roughly translates to “oh god I hope I don’t fail all my classes,” and I think that’s really beautiful.

Goddammit, I just want that place to call me back and tell me if I’m hired or not (preferably the former, but waiting in suspension is agonizing in and of itself.) My interview went really well and I bonded with the second interviewer over the both of us having read Anne McCaffrey and Tamora Pierce when we were pre-teens. I want this job! And it’s probably a bad idea for me...

The mother told them they could each check out two books. The smallest child, a girl of seven, picked out two small board books.
“Are you sure you don’t want a picture...

At seventeen, I am reading the same stories I did at ten: Tamora Pierce, Phillip Pullman, Rick Riordan, Kristen Cashore- and the list goes on. Rented from school libraries and Sulzer regional I lift yellowed pages to my nose inhale the heady scent and try to remember what these words used to taste like.

I really want a fic where Bell needs to temporarily find a new place to live. Maybe a pipe exploded or the power is out in his neighborhood. Sherlock jumps at the chance to point out the brownstone has plenty of room for a fourth person.

Artemis and Holly are like the opposite of their typical gender roles
Holly is a badass warrior with a shaved head and Artemis is like a damsel in distress and when there’s trouble he hides behind her and makes sure his nails haven’t been scuffed
Holly picked a fist fight with a guy because she thought he was being...

tamora piece taught me that it was okay to work hard, and that hard work and talent were not mutually exclusive. and by extension, i learned that it was okay to not be gifted at everything,...

The upsetting thing about Loras’s sex scene isn’t that he had one, or even that he had one with a complete stranger.
It’s that the show has gone to absolutely zero lengths to underscore how committed Loras is to Renly’s memory, to the point where, for book viewers, it looks as if Loras has been replaced with a cheerful alien who’s completely over the love of...
