Florence Syndrome

The Buddha looked at the king and said, “Majesty, in the Way of Liberation, there is no caste. To the eyes of an enlightened person, all people are equal. Every person’s blood is red. Every person’s tears are salty. We are all human beings. We must find a way for all people to be able to realize their full dignity and potential. That is why I welcomed Sunita into the sangha of bhikkhus.”

My contention, learned from [Leo] Strauss, has been that contextualism overlooks the context as seen by the author being studied. Why not listen first to the author? A great author supplies his own context.

Did Pen really choose to write so much about the Bridgertons in Whistledown or did she kind of have to constantly write about them because they’re the messiest bitches in the ton?

Colin’s whole ‘You’re not going to die tomorrow.’ and ‘You’d already be dead’ is so funny and one of my favorite parts from the book.

But in the show it’s so great because Luke plays it EXACTLY like a guy with four sisters who he has seen in full meltdown mode before it’s so spot on I giggle every time.

Indeed, in its most pervasive usage in 1970s-era gay subcultural formations, the ugly rhyme ("fag hag") conjured the stereotype of an often overweight, sexually dysfunctional woman who chose to surround herself with grudgingly welcoming gay men and was thus deemed a tragic interloper: many of those who deployed the term imagined a close correspondence between signifier and signified.
