24.04.2023 The person behind the account!!

Hello - I’m not on here a lot but I wanted to remind you all that I’m still around and actually am much more active over on my Instagram @phdoingmydamnbest

I’ve come a long way since starting this account as a teen, to turning it into an active book blogging space after my stroke to help me rediscover joy and help my recovery, and now I’m getting my PhD!

If you want to support me as I try doing this thing honesty the BEST thing to do is to come be in community with me over on insta. If even like 10% of people did that here it would make such a huge and helpful difference! I appreciate you all and this platform so much - it’s brought me a long way!

Six Shakespeare adaptations

1. Titus and Ronicus. Somewhat like Titus Andronicus, but with the addition of Titus’s wisecracking brother, Ronicus Andronicus. Known for that one wild slapstick scene with the pie at the end.

2. The Complete The’s of Shakespeare. Consists of every ‘the’ that Shakespeare wrote, delivered in an appropriate manner for each instance. Has the advantage of being much easier for a million monkeys to type. Is therefore much kinder to monkeys than the alternative. Please consider the monkeys. 

3. Henry V in space. We begin the play awaiting the arrival of the French Ambassadors. They are coming from France, which is seven light-years away and several hundred metres under the newly-risen Atlantic. It may be a long wait.

4. A Twelfth Night’s Hamlet. In which Hamlet is shipwrecked on the way to England and has to dress up as a woman dressing up as a man to in order to evade detection whilst avenging his father’s murder, but comedy strikes when he vacillates a little too long in an oddly-mislocated enchanted forest. Everyone ends up both completely heterosexually married and also dead.

5. The Scottish Play, a theatre-safe version of Macbeth which avoids bad luck by never mentioning the title character’s name or indeed anyone else’s name either. Explores issues of identity and confusion. Usually there is at least one murder, but nobody is quite sure of who by who. In fact, because nobody is sure who is king, or indeed what the succession actually is, it naturally follows that the only way to ensure kingship is to kill everyone.

6. Juliet and Cressida. It may have been that Cressida found some way to take advantage of Shakespeare’s not-always-consistent time periods to perform an audacious act of time travel. We are still not entirely sure. In any case we tracked down Juliet and Cressida to ask them what the plot had been, since they were both notably still alive in the present day. But Juliet made a rude gesture at us and slammed the door. It may be that only the protagonists know the plot.

Forever grateful to the stories that provide (and continue to provide) an escape into imagination. I haven't been able to read as much as an adult compared to the way I devoured books as a kid but I've made myself a little reading list for this year! Do you have a to-read list?

Tumblr Civil War

My favorite thing about tumblr is the way we all come together as a community to help each other turn off whatever new feature just got rolled out

If you think about it, the phrase “a bowl of mac and cheese” fits the format for generic YA fantasy titles

obsessed with stories where the message is that you can’t bring someone back from the dead even if you can bring someone back from the dead

— death is the mother of beauty

and what is beauty?

— terror

You know the problem with reading a book? You get hooked and then it ends and you feel sad
