‘To the men who ran the world, I was just a photo op’: Malala Yousafzai on growing up, getting cynical – and how getting high nearly broke her The global icon of women’s education is ready to tell the full story of her turbulent recent life, from arguing with her parents to being ghosted by the statesmen who were once desperate to be seen wi...

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o... I read this piece and stopped every 20 seconds to scream: "LET THIS GIRL HAVE A SELF-CARE MONTH!!! LET HER DO HER NAILS!!!!! LET HER ENJOY A POP CONCERT!!!!!!!"

Oh I didn't know she was doing Patreon now! That's great!

Spooky knits week for #ShowMeYourKnits ! The pattern is Arachne by Andi Satterlund. It is not available anymore so I'm very glad I bought it when I had the chance. Very spooky-month-y but I love spiders and wear it all year round!

friday night hot take: channing tatum tap number should be just as popular as tom holland umbrella dance

we are sweat-pilled (which is a horrible thing to say but there you go) and now that we have watched the 2 (at least) gay episodes, and an episode where a cyclist fucking falls over and dies, we are going to watch the whole thing. Incredible.

YESSS

Working on a modern translation of The Iliad. What do you guys think of “And yeah. Achilles went fuckin ripshit. Just fuckin…balls out horny for doing that gremlin shit, you know?”

Literally my worst nightmare

Finally did my duty as a vintage-loving knitter and watched Home Fires! One of the most unfairly cancelled shows of all time.

This page showcases a variety of women's summer dresses, sundresses and other garments. The illustrations are hand-drawn and the text is in Finnish, providing product numbers and size details. It's likely a page from a vintage sewing pattern catalogue.

3) Every Jane Austen novel is of a different genre. Emma is, of course, a bildungsroman, but also a mystery novel. Emma, sadly, happens to be the worst detective of all time, and makes the mistake one should never make: tries to bend the evidence to support her theory.

2) I did not remember that Colonel Campbell was totally Jane Fairfax's father's boyfriend.

1) The way Mr Martin behaves after the woman she wants to marry refuses him vs The way Mr Elton behaves in the same situation. Mr Martin, undoubtedly the best guy in all of Jane Austen's books.

I'm rereading Emma, and I have THOUGHTS. I love Austen!!!!!

[Spoiler] I kinda need a fic where Victor and Guillaume just get different jobs, something where they can spend time together.

Louisa borrowed the book from the library, but I'm thinking I'll have to buy a physical copy asap so that I can read it again and swoon. SO GOOD. Also, I love trains.

The Paris Express by Emma Donoghue has like, killed me, in the best possible way. I love this author so much. If she came to Finland to sign books, I'd be the first in line.

No ens lauantaina lähtee!!! 😅🤣

Such a good beep

MY FAVE DUMPLINGS PLACE which also had the most perfect prawn toast. Honestly, a dish to die for. 😭

When you leave the house you need to tell my MIL's dog where you're going or he'll get worried and start howling. However he only understands two locations - "I'm going to work" and "I'm going to the shops." Which is a metaphor for life, really. Certainly feels like you're always at one or the other

In other words, I blorboed too close to the sun.

Louisa was like, "You should watch Sex Education, I think you'd like it!"

boy does she regret it now that she's been served nothing but my hot Sex Education takes for the past 14 days.

We're at my mum's, taking care of her dog while she's travelling. This mainly means that I watch her Netflix while Louisa's at work.
