    Last night I dreamt that I was visiting a retired schoolteacher in her tiny country cottage. She offered me tea, then showed me the pictures of her former pupils. “This is Tom,” she said wistfully. “He was a very naughty child; so eventually I had to bake him into a sponge cake.”

    To those women I want to say: no human being can play the two-dimensional role of the “nurturing mother” forever. One day, in *some* way, you will displease him too. And when that day comes, you will find yourself facing the raging misogynist you have actively helped create.

    And not all women will call out a man they’re close to if they hear him talk about a woman who displeased him in an unfair, disrespectful way. Some will gladly join in and disparage the Nasty Woman in order to win Nice Girl points with him.

    Here’s one feminist life rule of mine: I never judge a man based on how he treats women when they are coddling or praising him. Look closely at how a man reacts when a woman displeases him, stands up to him, or draws a boundary with him, and you will find out who he really is.

    Women’s magazines keep bombarding me with tutorials on how to straighten my hair so I can “make men fall in love”; yet I can’t find *one single tutorial* on how to turn my hair into snakes so I can petrify all flirty men and have the time and headspace to finish my novel.

    All I want in life is a shy, bookish best friend who loves to bake. We would braid each other’s hair and wear matching gingham dresses with peter pan collars, and I would sit in her kitchen reading aloud from an old folklore book while she makes Nesselrode pudding.

    Meet your friends at the public library. Borrow books from the library even if you can afford to buy your own books. Regularly use the library computers even if you have a laptop. Help keep public libraries open for people who have no private access to books and technology.

    Might quit writing and become the kind of strict but whimsical nanny who carries an enormous bat-like black umbrella and teaches the alphabet to the pale and sickly heirs of a crumbling manor using Edward Gorey’s Gashlycrumb Tinies. “N is for Neville, who died of ennui.”

    Confessed to a friend that when I’m very angry, I sometimes lose control of my powers and break into a thousand bats. He said it would be a lot lovelier if I started doing that when I‘m very happy instead, and broke into a thousand chirpy baby bats.

    When people ask when you’re going to have children, tell them you’re waiting as long as possible to have time to look for a way to break the contract you made pledging your firstborn to Rumpelstiltskin in exchange for dark power

    Let’s leave toxic men in 2019. Make 2020 the year we celebrate boys who are: -kind -sensitive -creative -out of their indentures today and mean to live a blameless life ever more!

    ’s theory, which he has just explained to me, is that Salazar’s banishment might also represent Jung’s theory of the soul being a quaternity with one of the parts being a shadow side that is usually suppressed. Pick whichever take works for you! 😂😊

    This information adds a layer of complexity to Godric’s choice. Godric prioritised the Hogwarts students and the greater good over his friendship, even though doing so possibly broke his heart. A true Gryffindor. 💔

    It’s possible that Godric loved Salazar so much he was ready to turn a blind eye to his bigotry *so long* as it did not actively harm anyone else, but things obviously changed once Salazar assumed a position of power at Hogwarts. Now Godric had to think of the students’ safety.

    Did Godric close his eyes to what Salazar truly was, just like Albus did with Gellert? Did he see the good in him, and hope his own influence would change him for the better? Did he feel like he had personally failed when he was forced to banish him from Hogwarts?

    It’s a piece of information that leads to so many questions and theories. Salazar must have had a good, decent side to him if Godric was his friend. But there is *no way* Godric could not have known about Salazar’s prejudices *long* before they founded the school together.

    In one of its songs, The Sorting Hat revealed that Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin used to be great friends. I think about that a lot. What if banishing Salazar from Hogwarts was the hardest, most painful thing Godric ever did in his life?

    “I'd rather be a free spinster and paddle my own canoe,” were Louisa May Alcott’s exact words. What a great woman. ♥️

    I love that this adaptation unapologetically shows that marriage is not the right choice for *all* women; particularly in a society where it comes with too many patriarchal strings attached. It’s a homage to Alcott, who never married and pursued her literary ambitions instead.
