I had a joke about Penelope, but it didn't really suit her.

In 1936, marketers really thought this is what "an ageless thirty-two" looked like. Just in case you're feeling like you're aging poorly!

Reading a book where the main character is in deep danger all the time, hiding a huge part of her identity and discovery means death. But she's also very hot to trot for get biggest threat. I have a hard time understanding this. Like, how much danger would it take for her to just chill out about it?

Growing up Mormon, I was taught that at the end of time, the US and Israel would face off against all the world in battle. The implication was that the US and Israel were the good guys. But, like, looking at things now: what if this is true but the US and Israel are actually the baddies?

The ways in which students shun splitting their responses into paragraphs makes me wonder how exactly a paragraph has hurt them in the past.

One thing I find annoying in fiction is not knowing when something is intentionally wrong to say something about a character or the author just made a mistake. Like, does this author think that Dylan Thomas was Irish or is he playing up the character not knowing he's Welsh.

Banger of a closing line from Glorious Exploits: "For his master was ever in love with misfortune and believed the world a wounded thing that could only be healed by story".

I'm generally fairly open to differing opinions but am absolutely a fundamentalist about the muddle through line being the only right on in Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

There is a real special kind of anguish of being both a student and a teacher during finals week. Annoyances and technical errors on both ends!
