Meanwhile at the House of Wind

Nesta & Cassian: *loudly making out and breaking furniture at 2 am*

Azriel, down the hallway: *scrolling through websites to replace the broken furniture with Rhysandā€™s credit card*
Azriel: I am the backbone of this household.

Circus performers (1940s, 1950s)

There's an essay I've never written about the relationship between superheroes in American Comics and costumed performers in American Circuses of the same period, and how the comics characters were the circus performers, and I will probably never get around to writing it. But then I see photos like this and wish I'd written it 30 years ago.

This 14th century door at Exeter Cathedral, UK, is thought to be the oldest existing cat flap.

A cat was paid a penny each week, to keep down the rats and mice in the north tower, and a cat flap was cut into the door below the astronomical clock to allow the cat to carry out its duties.

Records of payments were entered in the Cathedral archives from 1305 to 1467, the penny a week being enough to buy food to supplement a heavy diet of rodents.

Isaac Newton is often credited as the inventor of the cat flap to the outside world. He was also credited with having made a smaller cat flap next to it for the kittens.

This is an EXTREMELY blessed post! And accurate! When I first moved out I was so excited for my new place I slept on the floor and had my tv there and that was it. Loved it. You grow and you build and you gain and you lose. I lost that place and everything in it. Now I have a new place with new things and itā€™s very much home.

In the future, there is a small, quiet room that is just yours, where you are safe and you are free. In that room your shoulders will finally start to come down from around your ears. Ā Nobody can come into that room unless you let them. Ā In that clean quiet place, you will work and you will study. Ā You will love and you will heal.

When I left the 2nd of my abusive partners, I literally rented a bunk bed from Rent-A-Center, I was that broke. I had no dishes, my clothes were in plastic bins on the floor of my closetā€¦

ā€¦ and I was free.

me: only 4 days till the weekend and some sleep! :D

girl: yeah. but she's sleeping with me. at my house. didn't he tell you? who is going to get the dog? or the fucking 300 dollar blender I got them?
