WH is a family saga about generational abuse and the moral injury of colonialism. (And toxic obsession.) R&J is about the breakdown of authority and young people trying to behave rightly without adult examples or support. (And stupid teenagers.) And they are also love stories!

Are people not aware that "love stories" can be about things?

Oh, WHAT a cutey! S. says to say hello to him.

I have lots of recommendations for Paris and would be happy to share if you want them! Things to do, see, and eat and a very good hotel.

Ughh. We *have* funding, but OPM doesn't, so we didn't know if we were coming in or teleworking until my supervisor got in at ass o'clock and found out she could have teleworked.

Oof, I'm sorry you were treated that way. No disrespect meant to your colleagues--it sounds like they were put in an impossible position.

Oh! The point at which the writing took a nosedive and I stopped playing :D

All good choices! We had a big pot of scarlet runner beans from Rancho Gordo at Thanksgiving, and they were spectacular. And I pretty much lived on Puy lentil salads this summer.

I am roasting vegetables (acorn squash, beets, turnips, carrots, brussels sprouts), cooking a pot of scarlet runner beans with little orange sweet peppers, and macerating the apples and thawing the rhubarb for pie. I'll make the wild rice pilaf tomorrow while the ham is warming through.

Ah okay! I just finished George Sand's Horace, which is the *other* novel featuring the barricades of 1832 in its climax, and has a fallen woman who gets a happy ending, a Saint-Simonian grisette, the President of the Bouzingots, and the comeuppance of a fuckboy.

The ones I ordered on clearance from Able that do not fit me are extremely well made, but their non-clearance prices are quite steep.

(Also remind me to bring out The Pants next time I host or attend a party; they're nice pants and someone should get some use out of them.)

Are you looking for general local color, or specific topics? And what era? I have an extremely random collection of links and pdfs for things I've researched for fic, tho mostly focused on the first half of the 19th century.
