Edward VI my beloved, how I have so neglected you!

This book has really opened up a huge conversation for me within my own mind.

Should one delete social media or keep it and practice insane self control?

I’m edging more for the latter atm

Increasingly I’m inspired to turn my phone off for a week just to see what happens. It’s actually possible for me since caring means I need to be reachable 24/7 unsafe my dad needs in inform me or instruct of something.

Turned greyscale on, so my phone is now black and white.

As a result of this than book and things that have happened in my personal life I will delete social media soon meaning my Instagram and I’m never joining it again. As I deserve a rich life full of experiences and I won’t get that through a screen.

Also as I made this decision “I want to break free” by Queen started playing

Massaging my brain

Holiday read: I’m literally about to go fucking insane with this book.

I just fucking know that by the time I am bored with this book I would have read it ten times and it will be falling apart and barely readable by the end.

Author suggests Henry VIII had 4 out of 5 of the men accused with Anne Boleyn beheaded because he was jealous of their ability to joust 😭

*tail wags stiff and rigidly*

Oh my beloved

I was gonna spend my day painting, but then I came across this for £1 and now I am 62 pages in

Realised that I still had the tan open and ended up reading 60 pages in one sitting. If I hadn’t started this an hour ago I may have read this in one sitting.

I’m thinking of starting a website! Possibly within the next six months, but I don’t know if I wanna make it fall of Anne Boleyn themed or general Tudor/history that I am interested in themed.

I’m not very knowledgeable on queer history so far as I am a beginner, but I’ve got to say and do something about it. Even if it’s just a messy blog, but god do I love blogs.

Spent a good section of my summer with this book last year, but I’m re reading chapters and recording research this time

I want to get back into my fall of Anne Boleyn research and I can feel it coming on

Truly a book that cannot be read quickly

Interesting that I start researching Elizabeth’s reign when I am just about to turn 25 as she was 25 when she ascended the throne.

She knew for a couple of months before her ascension that she would eventually rule because of Mary’s poor health and lack of heirs.

Reading this book as a general introduction!

Read hags for LLD and boy despite the horror that the chapter is I really want to live in community!!

Read the lesbian masterdoc (no idea why) yeah I think compulsory attraction to men really stopped me from realising I was lesbian from the start

I’ve been getting back to what’s actually important recently and this is probably the best I have ever felt in my entire life

I genuinely think this might be the best book ever written and I think it has the power to change the world if people read it and took it seriously
