Flatnose: name two things you are scared of?
Tough question to answer because I’m actually going back to therapy for general anxiety disorder soon, meaning that I’m irrationally afraid of a lot of things and it’s difficult to distinguish between panic fear and normal fear.

I guess I’d say my top two fears are random horrible accidents happening to me and finding out that I didn’t actually escape certain bad situations I have, in fact, escaped.
Capricorn: if you could have anything read out of a book, what would it be?
Probably the automaton from The Invention of Hugo Cabret. I know that little writing automatons were once real, but I’d like my own, in this day and age.
the thing about “well-behaved women rarely make history" is that the author, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, didn’t write it about women who would be considered “badly-behaved;“ she wrote it in a book about a midwife, about women who had been largely ignored and erased from history because as a result of their “good behaviour.” So it’s not a “BAD GIRLS DO IT WELL" kind of quote; it’s a reminder to respect and pay attention to the women who go about quietly living their lives.
