I’m so proud of my daughter in Seattle.
She doesn’t have much money (she’s a preschool teacher with a preschooler of her own) but she has a big bag of Costco flour — so she’s baking sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls every week for people in her neighborhood who are furloughed or lost SNAP…

![John Wick is a fairy
FanTheory
Pasting from this Twitter thread:
Only works for favours, tallied thru gold coins
Can be bound by blood promises against his will
Lives in a world unseen by passers-by
Values sacred ground & rituals
Has a special bond w/ animals
Does not tire or feel pain as a human would
Above all, the other fairies all speak in awed tones of him as the only one to "get out". Through sheer strength of will he crossed over into our world for the love of a human.
Further evidence: administration is run with 2000-era flip phones, 1980s computers, 1930s switchboards. Because it's all stolen technology.
Can only be harmed by weapons containing iron
Is hot in a frightening way
Don't steal his shit
Remarkable loyalty and adherence to the Rules of his World, even to his detriment.
Presents as asexual. (We know he loves a human woman, but there's been zero discussion of 'I wanted a family'. The dogs aren't even presented as surrogate children.)
[The third film] reveals that he is very careful with who knows his true name
the High Table is the Faerie Court, with all their internal games and betrayals and, above all, absolute maintenance of the power system that keeps them in charge
speaks all languages (gift of tongues)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4bxxo7x3xtkzflys3mnyplwf/bafkreibmj63ouu6k7ss7urgifxfx35mnu3npzj2kmdaccrh7bgrkc3mx74@jpeg)

If you're writing any historical fiction set in the UK in the first half of the 20th century, I can't recommend www.1900s.org.uk enough.
It's run by a retired academic who's trying to archive what life was like then for normal people, and it's got all kinds of little details you'd never make up.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Thinking back on my PhD in Set Theory, it's so funny. Set Theory is literally about nothing. See illo for INFINITY AND THE MND, drawn with Rapidograph pen in our Geneseo, NY, home, the very day I learned I was going to be fired from my first teaching job. But I knew infinity. So it didn't matter.
