Hm so the thing is that Austen, being stunningly brilliant, threaded the needle between two subtle things: 1)all her heroines are strong women with their own minds and wills, somewhat in defiance of society's norms at the time AND 2)a very clear value in all her work is that of upholding the standards and mores of polite society; over and over, her villains and fools commit the sin of being rude, reckless, impolite, and are punished or at least written unsympathetically for it, while those who know how to behave properly in each situation, how to move through society with grace, dignity, and the right thing to say in each setting, are portrayed with admiration and as the heroes. This is *essential* to understanding her work.

“Being agreeable never did a woman any good.”

Have you… have you read the novel?

[Formula Whatever @formulawhatever]

I fear that the fact that not only did being agreeable ‘do women good’ but it was actually essential to their survival in that specific time and place is a central tenant of the point Austen makes in literally all of her work

SNAP no longer subsidizes buying junk food, and now the price of junk food is dropping.

Could you imagine if we applied this principle to college? Or healthcare?

I love that she’s ranting this BS to a people with the tightest immigration laws out there.

Currently reading a paper on 1950s housing policy.

One of the conclusions 76 years ago?

Keep homes cheap and accessible for young people, the birth rate will be higher than otherwise and you need fewer migrants.

Government continues to wilfully fumble the obvious.

Happy birthday, Jane Austen! 🎂🩷 250 years and we're still not over Elizabeth Bennet, Mr. Darcy, & one of the best opening lines in all of literature

I saw this video this morning on my feed and I think it so eloquently explains what Charlie Kirk was put on this earth to do.

The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!

I have no problem with the Epstein files being released because I do not have an undying loyalty to any politicians. If someone from my side is exposed, I would prefer that they face consequences. If you feel differently, I think you should consider leaving your cult.

Last thing I need to get off my chest....The Taylor Swift effect and this message is aimed 100% at men who bitch, moan, whine, complain about Taylor.

Your daughters are watching. Your lady friends are watching. Your wives, mistresses, side pieces, are listening.

They see you hating on Taylor Swift for simply cheering on her boyfriend. Do you realize the message you're sending? “Be smaller, be less.”

She’s just living her life. She’s not controlling the cameras. She’s not hurting anyone. In fact, she’s boosting the NFL, the economy, & inspiring young girls to love football. She hasn't acted out of line, she gets into the party of the game.

If Taylor Swift being at a Chiefs game bothers you… take a deep breath, go touch grass and focus on real issues. Your complaints say way more about you, than Taylor.
