modern social media should stop offering "sync with your phone contacts to follow them" options and start offering "block all your phone contacts so they never see your account" options

Something something Jane Austen letting sweet tempered, yielding women resist the persuasion of people they greatly esteem when it concerns their sense of right and wrong, something something parallels:

The master of the house heard with real sorrow that they were to go so soon, and repeatedly tried to persuade Miss Bennet that it would not be safe for her—that she was not enough recovered; but Jane was firm where she felt herself to be right.

~ Pride and Prejudice

But Isabella became only more and more urgent, calling on her in the most affectionate manner, addressing her by the most endearing names. (…) But all in vain; Catherine felt herself to be in the right, and though pained by such tender, such flattering supplication, could not allow it to influence her.

~ Northanger Abbey

“You should have distinguished,” replied Anne. “You should not have suspected me now; the case is so different, and my age is so different. If I was wrong in yielding to persuasion once, remember that it was to persuasion exerted on the side of safety, not of risk. When I yielded, I thought it was to duty, but no duty could be called in aid here. In marrying a man indifferent to me, all risk would have been incurred, and all duty violated.”

~ Persuasion

“If it were possible for me to do otherwise” said [Fanny], with another strong effort; “but I am so perfectly convinced that I could never make him happy, and that I should be miserable myself.”

~ Mansfield Park

I am continually going through Gutenberg’s version of Pride and Prejudice for the fic and the illustrations

Look at these!

Mr. Collins “extending an olive branch” to Mr. Bennet:

Lizzie trying to make up her mind about Darcy vs Whickham after reading Darcy’s letter:

Lydia’s dreams of staying at the camp in Brighton:

Darcy, Caroline and Louisa attempting to drag Bringley away from Jane, and three cupids trying to prevent them:

Lady Catherine going full Lady Catherine: 

They’re by Hugh Thomson, please go look at the others. There’s a list with page links at the start

More Pride and Prejudice illustrations by Hugh Thomson, because they are a gift that keeps on giving:

The Bennets and the Netherfield party

Bingley pleading, Darcy snubbing and Elizabeth being plain pissed off

Mr. Collins being unlucky in love

The formidable Lady Catherine and her nephews

this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)

the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)

all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)
