This Inconvenience writer has created an article for Inconvenience Magazine using the 1895 edition of Our Edible Toadstools and Mushrooms and How to Distinguish Them (written by W. Hamilton Gibson) as her source text.

There is not much subtlety in this piece.

The writer clearly announces her desire for malevolence, and her admiration for poison.

She finds comfort, and likely finds justification, when her own poisonous intentions are mirrored by poison in the natural world.

10 Inconvenience Magazine July

Take a Malevolent Sentiment to gain poisonous victory.

Nothing shows real intent and true commitment more

than a sympathy with nature’s killers.

They are beautiful.

This Inconvenience writer has used the 1897 edition of Baily’s Magazine of Sports and Pastimes to create this missive.

This source text and style appear throughout several late 19th- and early 20th-century inconveniences, and many early Convenience scholars proposed that this particular writer was male.

These Victorian and Edwardian convenience scholars assumed that the forceful language in this source text, and emphasized by this writer, could only have been chosen by a man.

Gendered assumptions have been shown to be clearly false in later convenience scholarship.

As more of [his] Inconveniences are published online, readers may make their own assessments concerning the gender of the writer.

Genuine Distress:

Mischief has been the instrument.

Deep feeling tears through the psyche

using sorrow and iron determination.
