Take Care: Mothers, Daughters, and Inheriting Self-Hatred, Ella Wilson
"Announcement of new required class for first years. Magical Wandmaking and Woodworking. Wandmaking will be respected. There is no 'wand chooses the wizard' nonsense. We will go into forbidden forest and find our wand branches. The wand is worked by you and will be part of you. No excess necessary. Once you make one you may begin other magical woodcrafts. Magical trunks, vanishing cabinets, and even intricate head adornments such as diadems. Assistant Professor Dryad Knope will help in all forest procurements and paperwork. End of announcement."

people talk all the time about “primal instincts” and it’s usually about violence or sexual temptations or something, but your humanity comes with a lot of different stuff that we do without really thinking about, that we do without being told to or prompted to
your average human comes pre-installed with instincts to:
Befriend
Tell story
Make Thing
Investigate
Share knowledge
Laugh
Sing
Dance
Empathize with
Create
we are chalk full of survival instincts that revolve around connecting to others (dog-shaped others, robot-shaped, sometimes even plant-shaped) and making things with our hands
your primal instincts are not bathed in blood- they are layered in people telling stories to each other around a fire over and over and putting devices together through trial and error over and over and reaching for someone and something every moment of the way

1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
2. Do not tell your troubles unless you are sure they want to hear them.
3. When in another’s lair show him respect or else do not go there.
4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
6. Do not take that which does belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
9. Do not harm little children.
10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.
