i can't stop watching this video where a guy asks his Nigerian wife if she wants to go camping and she says "Stavro I did not come to this life to suffer". i've been thinking about it for days

The Bulwer-Lytton Awards for Worst Opening Paragraph went out and, man, I totally disagree. This opener is hilarious.

The Fantasy & Horror Bulwer-Lytton award winning line for worst opening paragraph text is shown: "Sir Arthur Pendragon, High King of the Britons, son of King Uther Pendragon, nephew of King Aurelius Ambrosius, who was in turn the son of a long list of people who weren’t kings and thus don’t matter, only slept with his sister once, but boy did it come back to bite him in the ass." -Diana Murtaugh, Baltimore, MD

So a scholar I do not know, who's working in a field far outside my own, and on a topic I don't even understand, has just emailed me out of the blue to let me know his book is coming out. "I’d really appreciate it if you could let your followers know about the book." So now I'm telling you.

Released today! My epic compendium (445 pages!) of tales, myths, magic, and more! Featuring Norse, Finnish, and Sámi traditions with loads of beautiful, retro-style illustrations. Suitable for ages 13 and up, and available to buy everywhere from Cider Mill/Harper Collins Focus.

An image of copies of a book titled Northern Mythology are stacked in darkness, lit by candles. The image also features a beautiful old Norse, wooden statue of the goddess Freya, lit up by warm candle glow.

Check out my latest Teen Vogue column on mask bans and how they are the new ugly laws www.teenvogue.com/story/mask-b...

Screenshot of a article headline in Teen Vogue by Alice Wong that reads “Mask bans insult disabled people, endanger our health, and threaten our ability to protest”

Mask bans are evil and dystopian and I am appalled that they’re even being proposed. Wearing masks to protect your health and the health of others needs to be recognized as a right for all and an absolutely essential protection for those who would otherwise be unable to participate in society

This is why mask bans are suddenly being proposed. If you’re in a place where that’s happening and you think we should prioritize public and personal health and freedom over expanding the powers of the police state then please do let your representatives know why the freedom to mask matters to you
