Listen, with world events becoming more and more outrageous, I implore all of you to spend time with art and culture.

So far we've done rapier. Trying to ease her into the pre-ruffle shirt phase of history. I will not rest until this sword lesbian has actually swung a sword.

(Good thing this isn't twitter, otherwise I'd be up to my neck in nerds having a go at me for making an oversimplified distinction between a sword and a rapier.)

Walking through a museum dedicated to a 19th century writer, and I've come to realise - I resent this stuff. A rich person "defying convention" by becoming a writer and being slightly poorer but still able to get by because they have equally rich friends to mooch off of. What a trailblazer. How romantic.
Fuck off.

Good heavens
