The Invisible Hand of Your Mom wiping your butt for you so you can pretend like you’re having Important Man Thoughts

This makes me think about how Emily Dickinson was writing her poems and suffering from chronic depression but still somehow found time to contribute to the housekeeping and do all the baking and look after her sick mother. The Brontes sisters too still had to run the house for their elderly father and addict brother (who by all accounts did nothing and slept most of the day) while writing their poems and novels. Women writers have never enjoyed this privilege. . 

Jane Austen only had a small desk in a public room.

After you learn more about women writers in the past, you really understand A Room of One’s Own.

Person with housemates can study.

Person who has spent all their cash on rent and food still has a place to get out of the house and do something interesting.

Cool community classes and community art shows.

ESL tutoring.

Tax prep and forms.

tbh fuck anyone who says a single bad thing about libraries

Not content I normally reblog but libraries are super important and our world would be diminished without them.

The library was how I was able to read so many books as a kid that my parents wouldn’t have been able to afford.

Libraries are one of the only places on Earth that treats people the same no matter how much money you have. We can’t lose that.
