If you want a sapphic focused interrogation of Jane Eyre (and Castle Rackrent) this is the one.

It's so nuanced, well-written and historically informed. A delight to read. But it will haunt you.

16) The Wife in the Attic by Rose Lerner

This book has been haunting me since I first read it (Kit's face at the door for anyone who's read it without spoilering it for the rest of you!) Such an interesting sapphic retelling of the governess story with moral quandaries and no easy answers.

This entire piece is very, very good and well worth your time to read — but this bit had me rolling

“People read Foucault,” the redoubtable David Brooks once wrote, in an actual column that I’ve all but committed to memory, “and develop an alienated view of the world.” God, did I love this. An “alienated view of the world”! Not by, like, trying to pay rent or having an insurance claim denied—no, no, it was probably the Foucault you read in 2003.

Canadians, I would love for you to boost this below thread so more Albertans can find out about Operation Total Recall. Or link to the campaign on a thread of your own!

I’m doing research for a project and found out about the “don’t buy where you can’t work” movement during the depression, where Black people boycotted and picketed places that wouldn’t hire us. Shout out to everyone who’s not going back to Target!
"Don't Buy Where You Can't Work" | National Museum of African American History & Culture.
<p>“Don’t Buy Where You Can’t Work” campaigns of the 1930s used effective direct-action tactics, such as boycotts and picketing. </p>

I actually love hearing other languages. There are so many of them and they’re beautiful.

Getting mad about it is a skill issue. And to be clear, that skill is empathy.
