"How many years of beauty do I have left?
she asks me.
How many more do you want?
Here. Here is 34. Here is 50.
When you are 80 years old
and your beauty rises in ways
your cells cannot even imagine now
and your wild bones grow luminous and
ripe, having carried the weight
of a passionate life.
When your hair is aflame
with winter
and you have decades of
learning and leaving and loving
sewn into
the corners of your eyes
and your children come home
to find their own history
in your face.
When you know what it feels like to fail
ferociously
and have gained the
capacity
to rise and rise and rise again.
When you can make your tea
on a quiet and ridiculously lonely afternoon
and still have a song in your heart
Queen owl wings beating
beneath the cotton of your sweater.
Because your beauty began there
beneath the sweater and the skin,
remember?
This is when I will take you
into my arms and coo
YOU BRAVE AND GLORIOUS THING
you’ve come so far.
I see you.
Your beauty is breathtaking."
~ Jeannette Encinias

Episode 3 is up and running! Click the link on our pinned post to listen on YouTube and Spotify. We discussed “The Unquiet Dead.”
Sara and Jeannette dive headfirst into this wild sci-fi ghost story. If you want weird tangents on puppy boys, Lorax song parodies, and more deep dives into Rose and the Doctor’s developing relationship dynamics, you have weirdly specific tastes, but you’re in the right place.

Book Review: Wild, Beautiful, and Free
Tumblr media
Wild, Beautiful, and Free by Sophfronia Scott
Plot Summary: Born the daughter of an enslaved woman and a Louisiana plantation owner, Jeannette Bébinn is raised alongside her white half sister—until her father suddenly dies. His vindictive wife refuses twelve-year-old Jeannette her inheritance and sells her into slavery. Now on her own, Jeannette must fight the injustices she faces because of her mixed race. She escapes enslavement and travels from Mississippi to Philadelphia to New York to Ohio, all while searching for purpose, love, and her place in a country torn asunder by the burgeoning Civil War. Everything seems to fall into place when she meets Christian Robichaud Colchester, the white proprietor of Fortitude Mansion, a safe haven for escaped slaves where Jeannette teaches. But despite their instant connection, Jeannette isn’t convinced she belongs in his circle. In a world that tells her she doesn’t fit anywhere, Jeannette must decide what’s more important: bending to the expectations of others or embracing her true self.
Review:
This was a surprising retelling of Jane Eyre because it brought the story into an unexpected backdrop - race and slavery during the American Civil War. The story translates the struggles of young Jane in the original novel at the hands of Mrs. Reed and Mr. Brocklehurst, to the horrific experiences of enslavement, which made Jeannette's story even more impactful.
Jeannette is just as strong willed as Jane, and has the added comfort of having known a loving parent in her father who doted on her and treated her as a general favorite, although it upset his wife. Of course the hatred that Madame Bébinn felt for Jeannette is understandable in one sense - that Jeannette is the product of her husband's infidelity, but in the other sense - that Jeannette is half black - well that takes away all the sympathy we could have felt for her in that situation.
Most of the first half of this book is devoted to Jeannette's experiences as a young girl and I think this aspect is what makes this such an intriguing book. It shows a side of history and humanity that it is important to recognize, as it shaped our country and still has repercussions today. It's very impactful to read about Jeannette's struggle to escape slavery, as well as how it forms her as a woman. And in how it eventually forms the main conflict between her and the "Mr. Rochester" Christian Colchester.
While I enjoyed the romance between Jeannette and Christian - somehow the intensity and the emotional connection just wasn't there. It was hard to follow up with the romance, after such a harrowing and moving depiction of surviving slavery and especially for Jeannette to go through that at a young age. But I did appreciate the nuance in parallel between the original novel and the romance of this one. There is still a sense of mystery, although Colchester's secret is a little different to Rochester. I appreciated the turn this story took, and that the conflict felt right for the characters.
Once Jeannette strikes out again on her own, the author again brings interesting historical realism in how the protagonist becomes a nurse during the Civil War. It felt right for Jeannette, and also added so much to her character for her to show such compassion to others in the face of so much trauma and grief. I felt that this part of the story was also more captivating than the middle section with the romance. And Jeannette gets to reunite with someone that created the perfect, stirring moment that paled a little in comparison to her reunion with Colchester. Which was very sweet in itself, but just not the point of the story.
Jeanette builds some incredible connections with different characters throughout the book, and with the historical realism in the setting - I feel those to be the strong points of the story. The romance and the comparison to Jane Eyre is nice, but if you are at all interested in the setting, this is a wonderful and insightful read.
Goodreads 4/5 stars
I received this book from the publisher or author for a fair and honest review. I was not compensated for this review.

The Wilds S3 Inside Man Speculation
Hi, yes, hello. I was actually never planning on posting anything The Wilds related. I was perfectly content just being part of the fandom from the outside. But, I finished the show last night and as I was sitting earlier today taking my exam, this wild thought came to mind. BTW, I don’t know if anyone has come up with this yet because I haven’t really scrolled through the tag so apologies if someone already came up with this.
I think the inside man might be Josh. Hear me out.
There’s no way in hell Shelby is the inside man, especially given the fact that we were shown she already started questioning the whole situation with Fatin right before they were extracted. She also made sure Leah knew she knew the whole situation was a setup. There’s no way in hell she would then backtrack and become Gretchen’s operative when she was trying to discreetly help Leah try and break them all out.
Also, the show has already shown us that they’re willing to use camerawork in order to mislead the audience. Back in season one, they showed Dot speaking with Gretchen, making it seem like she was the other operative apart from Jeannette, when the finale revealed it was actually Nora.
Also, the women have already had two operatives aware of the entire situation, albeit one of them died hours after landing on the beach. This makes me believe the operative is going to be a guy: Josh.
Now, I know y’all are probably like, “huh? Josh” yeah, I know. But I’ve been thinking.
Regardless of whether or not you like the guys, they were pretty fucking incredible with keeping Josh’s sa quiet because they promised him that they wouldn’t talk about it. They were so good at keeping it quiet that Gretchen and co. we’re freaking out most of the season trying to get the missing Day 15 information because they believed it could destroy their whole experiment.
And, if it weren’t for Josh, the boys could have most likely been the reason it would have gotten discredited.
And now you’re probably also asking, “if it weren’t for Josh what?”
Now, I say this because of that one montage (I think it was the second to last one, don’t @ me though) where Gretchen was talking about motherly instincts and all of that shit. The scene where we see her holding a bowl of gummies and walking into Josh’s room. When she walks out, almost all of the gummies are eaten and she has a million dollar smile.
I don’t know if anyone else thinks this, but I believe that Josh most likely told her about his sa, especially when she was asked what happened and she said something along the lines of “male problems” or some shit when talking about why the boys failed (FYI that’s such a fucked up way of calling sa, especially since not all assaulters are male).
Josh is… Naive? Gullible? We saw on the island he was willing to do what someone asked of him (cue the scene of Kirin telling him he failed his test of being independent). Gretchen knows this. And she can very much use it against all of them.
She can very easily manipulate him into thinking that what he’s doing, cooperating with Gretchen and telling her everything the group is doing, is to help out the group or whatever sick, demented way she can twist her logic.
Now, we know Seth’s bitchass is the other operative (can’t wait to see Kirin beat his ass again in season three when they all find out), but it’s just way too obvious to make him the only operative. Especially not when the boys and girls are finally together. There has to be another one. That’s why I think it’s Josh.
Obviously, this is all just theory and speculation. It would also be fucked for her to make both Josh and Seth the operatives, especially since she knows what happened, even though technically the operatives shouldn’t know who the other one is in fear of blowing the whole operation up.
Also, Josh could very easily fold when pressed for questions, but I don’t know, maybe the island changed him. I did notice a shift in demeanor in him when he was having his interview.
But it’s a thought. Let me know what you guys think.

back again with more:
13, 18 (yes, again; feel free to rant about as many books as you like), 26, 32, 51, 77, 94, 104
- livvie
here we go ~
13: your favorite romance novel
i said earlier as well that i dont really read much romance generally as a genre, it doesn't do too much for me. tend to gravitate more towards books where its either a b plot or its sort of doomed to tragedy fhdskja north and south by elizabeth gaskell remains a top favourite romance, but silk by alessandro baricco is also up there ! its short and very, very lovely to read. not really tragic, and i wouldnt even really call it a romance but there is so much love in it and it is so beautifully written.
18: your least favorite book ever
okay here is another one, and it encompasses a lot of issues i have with science fiction written by the "good old boys" and lauded as masterpieces of the genres when really there is no substance to them beyond surface level, and that is stranger in a strange land by robert a. heinlein.
the worst part about this book, genuinely, is how good it could have been if heinlein didn't absolutely hate women lmao. the initial plot and the early premise of the book is so interesting, and i love a good speculative science fiction novel so i had high hopes going in, but oh my god does it ever turn on a dime about halfway through.
it was written in the 60s, so the style of sci fi is dated but that's fine. the sort of 'moon fever' of the time very much carries through and alongside that comes the undercurrents of the red scare, of course, because you absolutely cannot divide an author or their work from their influences. so that is not super fun to read, but its fine. we can get over that. in the beginning there are some philosophical ramblings, and i can very much enjoy those when they make sense with the characters and the plot and everything. and in this book they did, for about the first 2/3 of it, and then it just becomes a platform for heinlein's self-insert character essentially to preach and prosteletize about his beliefs a lot of which are incredibly sexist and misogynistic. this is not even like a...light misogyny of the times sort of thing, because i am good at divorcing those things in my brain. i can handle light subtext and generational differences in thinking.
its not that. its absolutely blatant, awful misogyny dressed up as some sort of enlightenment and i just...its just awful to read. genuinely. and there is something much more bitter about it being such an abrupt shift and immediate downfall after a fairly promising first half of a novel. so much of anything that could be good about it is just too bogged down by sexism, xenophobia, racism, and the overall awful perspectives/opinions of the author to be in any way enjoyable and it is just so unbelievably not worth a read.
(this is much less of a petty rant and again it has been a while since i read it but...here we are lol i really truly just hated it)
ill give you a little peak into why i hated the fault in our stars, too. just for some fun nitpicking. i hate the characters. they read as very try hard witty; an older man's charicature of what a "smart, unique teen" sounds like. it's incredibly pandering and the writing is bland at best. i do not enjoy john green as an author or a content creator and, while i understand why people do and why he is popular, he is never going to be for me.
26: your favourite memoir
ah, this one is going to be difficult. i feel like i have to go with the glass castle by jeannette walls because it is truly just so remarkable, both as a book and as a story. i would also put brain on fire: my month of madness by susannah cahalan because its just so absolutely wild and entrancing.
32: your favourite nonfiction novel
the one that i think about the most, consistently, after reading it almost two years ago is the teachings of don juan: a yaqui way of knowledge by carlos castaneda. the legitimacy of the book has been under question for many, many years, but regardless of if it is fact or fiction in the end, there is a lot of insight to be gleaned from it. another one i have incredibly fond feelings towards is quiet: the power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking by susan cain.
51: a book that you found underwhelming
the girls by emma cline. cults, 1960s. it had a lot of promise but it just sort of fell...flat.
77: a book so useless that you could use it as a coaster
ooo mean i love it lol. strength in stillness: the power of transcendental meditation by bob roth. its a 200+ page brochure for a company that charges you $2000+ to "learn" how to meditate. its absolutely a waste of time, it only got on new york times bestseller list because its backed by celebrities who have paid this sum to "learn" how to meditate. its a sales pitch. absolutely useless.
94: a book about grieving
norwegian wood by haruki murakami. its difficult in the same way that it is fantastic
104: a fluffy, sweet read
ummmmmm fdjksahfdsakj lemme see if i can dig anything up, this usually is not my vibe for books HAHA (barely even for fics tbh fjdsak)
its not really like...a fluffy, sweet book per se, but love letters of great men by ursula doyle is a very fun read. just a collection of love letters sent by a smattering of different famous men throughout history. sometimes hilarious, sometimes a little cringey, sometimes exceptionally sweet. but always short and light and easy to read.

Wilds!Anon: I don't know about their suitcases given that we saw Lihn (Jeannette)'s, and Fatin's, Martha's cases all wash up on shore along with Lihn's carry-on. However, in season 2 the phone Leah pulls out of the toilet tank is her own phone which was on her carry-on the whole flight. So I, personally, would imagine their carry-ons, and any personal items they kept on the island would be somewhere in the bunker. In Linh/Jeanette's episode in s1 we even see Martha's carry on bag on the boat with Leah and Linh before Alex takes them out to the island. They probably wouldn't leave any phones, but I don't see why they would take other personal items like clothes, jewelry etc.
I assumed that the suitcases that washed up were placed their by gretchen’s team. The rest of the bags should be at the bunker minus the phones obviously.

'Oh I am love, loving this poem.
Beneath The Sweater And The Skin
How many years of beauty do I have left?
she asks me.
How many more do you want?
Here. Here is 34. Here is 50.
When you are 80 years old
and your beauty rises in ways
your cells cannot even imagine now
and your wild bones grow luminous and
ripe, having carried the weight
of a passionate life.
When your hair is aflame
with winter
and you have decades of
learning and leaving and loving
sewn into
the corners of your eyes
and your children come home
to find their own history
in your face.
When you know what it feels like to fail
ferociously
and have gained the capacity
to rise and rise and rise again.
When you can make your tea
on a quiet and ridiculously lonely afternoon
and still have a song in your heart
Queen owl wings beating
beneath the cotton of your sweater.
Because your beauty began there
beneath the sweater and the skin,
remember?
This is when I will take you
into my arms and coo
YOU BRAVE AND GLORIOUS THING
you've come so far.
I see you.
Your beauty is breathtaking.'

Unveiling the Delicate Beauty: A Journey into Cutwork Embroidery
Imagine intricate patterns of swirling florals, geometric shapes, and airy open spaces adorning clothing, linens, and home décor. This, my friend, is the mesmerizing world of cutwork embroidery, a technique that combines the precision of stitching with the elegance of openwork design. But don't be fooled by its delicate appearance; cutwork boasts a rich history and surprising versatility, waiting to be explored by modern crafters like you! Delving into History: From Royal Garments to Modern Masterpieces Cutwork, also known as "punto tagliato" in Italian, boasts a lineage as old as embroidery itself. Its origins trace back to ancient cultures like India and China, but it truly flourished in Europe during the Renaissance. Back then, intricate cutwork adorned the finery of royalty and nobility, showcasing their wealth and status. Imagine flowing gowns and ceremonial linens embellished with delicate floral motifs, painstakingly crafted by skilled artisans. Over time, cutwork evolved, transitioning from a symbol of opulence to a more accessible decorative technique. Victorian-era tablecloths and handkerchiefs often featured cutwork borders, adding a touch of elegance to everyday household items. Today, cutwork enjoys a renewed popularity among embroidery enthusiasts. Not only does it offer a timeless aesthetic, but it also allows for unique personalization and creative expression. Demystifying the Technique: Stitches, Fabrics, and Finishing Touches At its core, cutwork involves creating openwork designs by cutting away sections of fabric and reinforcing the edges with embroidery stitches. While seemingly simple, it requires careful planning, precise execution, and a keen eye for detail. Here's a peek into the essential elements: Stitches: Running stitch and buttonhole stitch are the main players, forming the delicate borders around the cut areas. Other decorative stitches like satin stitch or bullion knots can be added for embellishment. Fabrics: Fine, tightly woven fabrics like linen, cotton lawn, or batiste are ideal for cutwork, as they hold their shape well and prevent fraying. Finishing Touches: After cutting and stitching, neatly clip away any stray threads and press the work to perfection. Consider additional touches like picot edging or French knots for an extra dose of charm. Unlocking the Creative Potential: From Traditional to Modern Applications The beauty of cutwork lies in its versatility. While traditional floral motifs remain popular, the possibilities are endless! Let your imagination run wild: Modernize with geometric patterns: Think clean lines, abstract shapes, and bold color palettes for a contemporary twist. Personalize with monograms or initials: Add a touch of exclusivity to handkerchiefs, napkins, or clothing. Adorn home décor: Elevate cushions, tablecloths, or tea towels with delicate cutwork borders. Experiment with mixed media: Combine cutwork with other embroidery techniques like appliqué or beading for a layered effect. Embarking on Your Cutwork Journey: Tips and Resources to Get You Started Ready to explore the world of cutwork? Here are some helpful tips: Start small: Choose a simple design and practice basic stitches before tackling complex patterns. Invest in quality tools: Sharp embroidery scissors, good quality needles, and appropriate thread will make your work easier and more enjoyable. Seek inspiration: Look at vintage patterns, browse online resources, or join embroidery communities for ideas and techniques. Practice patience: Cutwork requires meticulous attention to detail. Embrace the process and enjoy the satisfaction of creating something beautiful by hand. Here are some helpful resources to get you started: Websites: Needlework Tips and Techniques (https://www.needlework-tips-and-techniques.com/) Books: "The Complete Book of Cutwork" by Jeannette Douglas, "Cutwork Designs" by Laura Ashley YouTube Tutorials: CreativeBug Cutwork Embroidery Masterclass, Bluestone Creations Cutwork Basics So, are you ready to unveil the beauty of cutwork embroidery? With a little patience, practice, and creativity, you can transform simple fabric into delicate masterpieces that are both timeless and uniquely yours. So pick up your needle, thread, and scissors, and let the journey of cutwork exploration begin! Read the full article
