FREEDOM & LITERACY is book discussion board, aimed at us “old internet” folks. When was the last time you weren't bombarded by bad news? When was the last time you took a breath & had a good time just because?

a halloween-themed ad for a forum called freedom & literacy. underneath the site title it reads a book discussion forum. underneath that is another paragraph that says FREEDOM & LITERACY is a forum for those of us who love to read books of all genres! There’s no algorithm. No bad news every five seconds. We’re not a book club. We don’t have mandatory participation. F&L is just about books, and those who love them. Underneath the paragraph is a line of cats dressed up in halloween costumes.

"millennials are so childish." yeah, excuse us for being nostalgic for a time when we weren't aware the world was fucking awful.

we have lived through so many goddamn events.

sue us if we want to play with toys our parents wouldn't buy us, & pretend the world is better than it actually is.

it just comes across as pure laziness all the way around. can't be bothered to pay artists, can't be bothered to proof the computer generated slop.

It took a highly sophisticated Jacquard weave to create the incredibly detailed oranges that form the fabric of of this early 1890s dress. You can almost smell the citrusy peel. There so many details to observe here, the pattern matching, the cuff trim, the drama! #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
