April's April @AprilRapunzel
@elisa sounds like an uneven battle 😀
Mary Ellen Chase,
Silver nimbus lit, egg eyes hooded,
The moon-owl who found you
Even in England, and plucked you out of my nest
And carried you back to college,
Dragging you all the way, your toes trailing
In the Atlantic.
(excerpt from a #poem called "Night-Ride on Ariel" written by Ted Hughes)
Trivia: Mary Ellen Chase was a teacher at a university #SylviaPlath attended; they were very close.
I’m excited about this new social media as I was couple years ago when #tumblr was yahoo free. @AprilRapunzel showed me this page and I’m thankful for that.
I’m a wannabe #HR person, #queer and also a #coffeeaddict (but not the unicorn frapuccino one I have my own #coffee grinder and a #mokapot). My patronus is a bat acordingg to #pottermore.
Oh and big news! In a month or so I’m moving from Europe to #jasper. I already bought the electric cord reduction so it’s serious :D
@Modern_Industrial ok, now you lost me... fill me in, please? what exactly is a "boot"? (I guess it will take some time for me to grasp the lingo, haha) 🤔
Hi folks, so I'm in a real tight spot rn, but I have a couple options in front of me still.
Option 1) Do ya'll know anyone looking for a room in Portland? Preferably Queer or at least p chill living with a gay trans woman
Option 2) Is anyone looking for someone to fill a room in the Seattle / Portland area that I could possibly apply for?
please boost
@JessSloan Thank you, I will check out Dickens when it gets closer to Christmas, hehe, I always loved his Christmas Carol.
Hills Like White Elephants is a classic, the conversation of the main couple is simply unforgettable ☺
@JessSloan Oh, I know that one, I remember being completely taken aback by its message. Are there any other short stories you really liked? I am more of a novel-reader, so any short stories recommendations are always welcomed :)
@JessSloan I suppose you also studied Tedd Hughes then? They usually teach them together. I just love his Birthday Letters ❤
@Supernova oh, thank you, it really can get overwhelming, but people here really are super-nice 😊
@ink_slinger oh, I've been hospitalized as a kid, because my kidney's suddenly stopped working, so naturally water became my best friend after they started working again 😂 and that's why water made it to the list, I guess (it's always on my mind)
@JessSloan Thanks for the warm welcome! ☺
Oh, you should also try her poetry, there's even more depth there!
#ravenclaw is my second favorite house (you know, in case the Sorting Hat's hesitating where to put me)
And it's excellent to hear that both you and your husband are #feminists! Way to go! 👍
@LittleOwl Thanks 😊
good morning, toot folk, my tender oozing blossoms... https://aleph.land/media/2yF1MbqOPVyHlAzxzas
So I heard this is the new safe haven for all the unicorns, capybaras and harry potter fans.
I'm a #film studies student.
I am #queer
I love #sylviaplath
I drink a lot of #water
I belong in #gryffindor (in case you were wondering)
I am a #feminist
And I have no idea what I'm doing here 😀
