Going on a date with a man, and when you sit down -- just as he opens his mouth to speak -- putting a finger to his lips and saying 'shh, don't spoil it..'

[M💀ya @helllenism]

I wish all the people watching my stories who I no longer speak to would apologise and be done with it I find it unnerving

[M💀ya @helllenism]

Every day I thank the lord I went to state comps because every time I see someone achieve (probably deserved) success & I see they went to private school the devil-chip on my shoulder shouts 'doesn't count, then!' whether I like it or not & it gives me a little chuckle

[M💀ya @helllenism]

Just sat next to a man doing what I can only describe as performatively reading The Odyssey (going on his phone behind the book & looking around to make sure people are seeing the cover), which I must admit is a new one

[M💀ya @helllenism]

@LukeJensenJones that would be a fun route into it!

[M💀ya @helllenism]

Do you think I could read all the Penguin Classics that there are before I die I think I'd maybe have to read like 20 more books a year than I do already idk

Close my door for ONE minute in order to cry and it's the EXACT moment the Director of Marketing decides to knock for me and start opening the door

[Maddie Lee, PhD @m_janelee]

academic conferences are crazy because it’s like Let’s go to the most beautiful place in the world and then look at powerpoints for 12 straight hours

[M💀ya @helllenism]

Recs for places to stay or go or tour guides in Glasgow in August pls xxxxxxxxx

[M💀ya @helllenism]

You ask someone who was actually vaguely comparatively normal at Oxford where they like to hang out in London & they invite you to their private members' club.. girlie I thought these were the type of environments we were trying to tear down !!

[M💀ya @helllenism]

@LukeJensenJones I think I'd mainly focus on the black spines just due to my own interest and for a sense of completeness maybe

women in GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums)

[M💀ya @helllenism]

All introductions to male authors should read like this: 'His own fear of women may have caused perhaps an imaginative debility, and a distasteful attempt at titillation.'

[ℓυ¢¢α @LuccaLazaro]

Does anyone know which translation of Homer she prefers

[M💀ya @helllenism]

Me writing a whole poem about a crab shell on the train tracks which may have turned out to be a piece of plastic after all

[Jon Bird @2002tacomasr5]

Just started crying at work because the beautiful shining thing I saw from the window turned out to be a fucking salsa as soon as I stepped one foot to the right. I thought it was a treasure
