I want to be a housewife not out of some misguided essentialist beliefs but out of introversion and hatred for work it really is that simple

Anyone can learn, if you want to learn you can.
i made this petition and put it on my twitter but god dammit it needs more signatures
oh... to wear a pretty dress and have a knife
all i really want in life is a small cabin where i drink tea and pick flowers is that too much to ask
i’ve been learning how to use [ thou / thee / thy / thine ] and it sounded really confusing at first because all of the websites i found would be talking about things like whether you’re the subject or object and blah blah blah and it just made it sound really complicated
but as it turns out it’s not
in fact, you already know the rules for how to use [ thou / thee / thy / thine ] because it’s the same as [ i / me / my / mine ] (they even rhyme – me/thee, my/thy, and mine/thine)
the only difference is an archaic rule for “mine” that has since fallen out of use, the very same rule that we use for [ a / an ], which basically boils down to “if it comes before a vowel, add an [ n ]”
observe:
i gave him a gift // thou gave him a gift
he gave me a gift // he gave thee a gift
this is my chair // this is thy chair
this chair is mine // this chair is thine
and
this is a pear // this is my pear // this is thy pear
this is an apple // this is mine my apple // this is thine apple
it’s as simple as that.
we love them
They definitely don’t like each other 😏
