If some French film company doesn’t option the rights to this amazing story then I’ve lost all faith in foreign language cinema.

The secrets of a diary written on castle floorboards bbc.co.uk/news/stories-4…

This is an AMAZING story ripe to be made into a novel!! #mswl

unpaid tab at le coucou @rachsyme

there were a lot of articles in the 1920s to look out for "plain women" who will swindle you because the going idea was that hot ladies used their wiles and that was fine but homely women had to develop their brains and so were cunning as hell pic.twitter.com/xQX7AOmNxt

This is a cool idea—a gender-switch that raises up new versions of what Bobby's issue is. theguardian.com/stage/2018/apr…

Eric Francisco @EricTheDragon

There is a 17yo boy on Reddit asking advice how to ask out a trans girl at school. It is absolutely heartwarming, and also he’s a really good writer? dg.reddit.com/r/relationship… pic.twitter.com/CC3SnNssL7

Delilah S. Dawson @DelilahSDawson

Here is my controversial Star Wars statement: I would love to read a teen Poe Dameron YA in which he breaks hearts across the galaxy while longing for his OTP, but I don't think I'm the person to write it. We need #ownvoices for that. So somebody write that, and I'll read it.

Come at me with this book, YA writers #ownvoices. #mswl

Nicole Cliffe @Nicole_Cliffe

Okay, here we go. Delightfully bizarre stories about the British Public School Monolith (Chandos focuses on 1800-1864, Gathorne-Hardy starts w St Peter’s, York Minster, founded in 625. Not a typo.)

BUCKLE IN.

Nicole’s whole thread here is a #mswl btw.

Good Girls Revolt is 100% my jam as a TV show and subject matter (#mswl) but geez is it hard to watch with how the world has changed even since it first aired.

Imagine being part of a middling channel USA drama and then suddenly marrying into the British monarchy this is so wild like actually who has the rights? This isnt made for TV shit this is a cinematic securing of the bag
