I know we could not be any more different, but there is one thing we do share, the certainty that you will make your own way in this world. I am sure of it, Eloise.

okay absolutely obsessed with this part of emily wilson’s interview about her translation of the odyssey
[image description: screencap of a quote from Emily Wilson’s interview with the New York Times about her translation of the Odyssey.
“If I was really going to be radical,” Wilson told me, returning to the very first line of the poem, “I would’ve said, polytropos means ‘straying,’ and andra” — “man,” the poem’s first word — “means ‘husband,’ because in fact andra does also mean ‘husband,’ and I could’ve said, ‘Tell me about a straying husband.’ And that’s a viable translation. That’s one of the things it says. But it would give an entirely different perspective and an entirely different setup for the poem. The fact that it’s possible to translate the same lines a hundred different times and all of them are defensible in entirely different ways? That tells you something.”

Where we gonna go? I think he knows
Hi Neil,
ever since you stated that where Aziraphale lives is inspired by Berwick Street, I go there regularly (I don't live far away). It's awesome! It does, indeed, have plenty of record shops, there is a coffee shop, a bookshop, and actually around the corner there are shops that would have been "bookshops" but can be obvious about it now.
There's a comic book store (the picture!), a unisex tailor shop, so many costume shops (pride, here I come!). Anyway, I guess that's my recommendation for people if you post this.
Do you still go there sometimes? Can you recommend a secret gem in Soho?
Thanks in advance if you ever answer this ✨
I love all of Soho, and it comes with extra layers of memory for me.
I remember when Dark They Were and Golden Eyed, a science fiction bookshop long before Forbidden Planet, was in Berwick Street. I was 15 the first time I went there. Then it moved to Queen Anne’s Court (between Dean Street and Wardour Street) and became bigger and I bought my books and comics there until I was about 19 or 20 and it went out of business…
Nostalgia hour for a legendary bookshop I never went to:
happy disability pride month to people with rare or confusing clinical findings! including:
- people who received test results their doctors did not understand!
- people who had to get expensive and/or unusual testing, and the results didn't provide clarity!
- people who have abnormal test results, who's doctors aren't sure if the results have any significance, or what that significance is!
- people who had to learn to read studies in order to research their conditions, because the information has not been made accessible to the general public through articles and informative sites!
- people who can't even find studies to read in the first place!
- people who might never know if the results they have mean anything!
- people with unexplained symptoms that could be related to an unusual test result, but they have no way of knowing!
- people who are worried that their results could be pathogenic, but have no way of finding out!
sometimes, disability just isn't simple. it is really hard to have something markedly different about your body that doesn't make sense - not to you, not to professionals. when i was being tested for genetic disorders, they found that i had a duplication in one of my chromosomes, and my doctor told me that it could mean nothing, it could have caused some of my issues, or it could cause me issues in the future.
it was scary! it's been almost two years, and i don't know what it means. there isn't a single case report or study on this duplication. it is deeply disquieting to think about. i don't know what i'm meant to do, or if i can do anything at all. i have plenty of symptoms and features that could be related to it, but there is essentially no way for me to figure it out.
am i still trying to? hell yeah! am i going to try and get into contact with genetic specialists? hell yeah! but if nothing comes out of it, that's fine. it isn't a failing on my part, and it isn't irrational for me to be concerned or upset about it.
your condition does not have to have a name, or a mayo clinic page, or even a study on it for it to be real. your concerns are valid, and you deserve love and support.
happy pride!!
The white stripe in the Disability Pride Flag represents those with undiagnosed, invisible, and/or misunderstood disabilities (it's for you):
It's in the middle because the other classes of disability (physical, cognitive, mental illness, and sensory) can all manifest in invisible, confusing, and hard-to-diagnose, ways.

Excellent Point
[ID: a block of text in Gotham Bold. (Double-spaces added to make it easier to read.)
“Reflecting on it, the reason I think the OceanGate situation has become such a flashpoint for anger is because it's such a perfect microcosm of the problem with everything right now.
Decisions are not made based on safety, reasonable caution, or concern for human life. Every decision is instead made from a default assumption of what if the bad thing just DIDN'T happen?
We are given pie-in-the-sky promises and sizzle reels and an endless PR hype-cycle for every new innovation and inevitably it fails to work, harms people, and then is maybe barely apologised for before the next bad idea comes down the pike.
OceanGate's underengineered, undercooked, doomed submarine isn't merely a metaphor for the hubris of the wealthy, it is a scale model of the way the wealthy dictate our reality.
All consequences can be ignored, all blowback can be forestalled, let the end user eat the cost.
I am not angry because the submarine was badly-made.
I am angry because I live in a vastly larger pressure vessel being managed and maintained by the exact same people.”

This cunt is on TV talking like she is some sort of First Amendment hero. Sooooo misguided and too stupid to know it.
oh to be a middle class lady in the 19th century who has nothing to do all day but have time to think about her romantic afflictions and her beloved
