i wish you would look upon older women as role models and someone you can learn a lot from rather than evil hags with no inner life who want nothing more than to make a pact with the devil to steal your youth
"i was written by a man", "i was written by a woman", i was written by virginia woolf cause i'm a melancholy lesbian and most people fail to make sense of me
"Lover of woods, of words, of flowers,
Lover yourself of the things I love,
Friendship was made of the quiet hours
Hung between earth and the sky above."
Happy birthday to Vita Sackville-West
when sylvia plath said "I feel the weight of centuries smothering me" and virginia woolf said "My roots go down to the depths of the world, through veins of lead and silver. I am all fibre. All tremors shake me, and the weight of the earth is pressed to my ribs."
just found out vita read a book called "virginia woolf: a commentary" and destroyed the author's take on mrs dalloway with this annotation:
"Rubbish. It was a frankly lesbian love V. told me "
"Should you wish to make sure that your birthday will be celebrated three hundred years hence, your best course is, undoubtedly, to keep a diary."
Happy Birthday to one and only Virginia Woolf
thinking about love that preserves lives, how many lesbians would have disappeared from memory if someone else hadn't kept a letter they wrote or a picture of them
i'm gonna make a thread(s) about vita and virginia being lesbians cause you all will believe "queer archivists" or whatever instead of reading source material❤️
