When I still did research, it was on Reformation drama. Now I teach EngLit and try to write some, too. I like kissing stories and history, preferably in one package. Pseudonymous. Vegan. Introvert. - No unsolicited DMs, please.

God, I HOPE NOT!!!
My worry is, though, that by now there are so many equally bad men around him and behind him, there'll be a tussle for which one is going to take over. This won't end with that long-awaited stroke or heart attack.

Honestly, no end, no matter how wretched, can atone for the fear and misery he has brought, is bringing and will bring to the world.

Diane Keaton was so amazingly fabulous.
Particularly in this clip, from 2:00.
Neither #DianeKeaton nor Erica Berry would just drop their clothes on the floor like this, but that's a minor point in a fabulous film.

I liked the idea that Diane Keaton was out there, somewhere, being Diane Keaton.
--sigh--

Rest in peace, Annie Hall.

Hab mich gestern mit 11.-Klässlerinnen unterhalten. In Deutsch: Der Zerbrochene Krug.
Bin absolut für "den alten Scheiß". Ich hab an Die Räuber gemerkt, daß ich gern klassisches Drama lese (=> 10 Jahre später, Promotion über Shakespeare Drama).
DeutschlehrerInnen: Sucht bitte die COOLEN Texte aus!

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

The world is engulfed by chaos and horror as the armies of Death arrive to incorporate the Living into their band. Perfect allegory for today from Pieter Brueghel the Younger.

This is Twilight Sparkle. She was born with a bump on her head made of soft tissue instead of bone. It's led to a buildup of fluid in her brain and seizures. While there's no cure, it can be managed with lifelong medication and bloodwork. You can help her below ❤️‍🩹

Well, if your definition of anti-fascist or anti-imperialist is "dropping bombs on Germany", then indeed, there is nothing more to debate here.

Tragically, here in Sweden, the Agency for Marine & Water Management has deemed it necessary to publish a study which confirms that it ISN'T seals but over-fishing that's behind the dramatic decrease in Baltic Sea fish stocks.

The image is a white square with 5 vertical columns. The image is titled, "The Lines of Life." The top of each column has a phrase followed by a black and white drawing of a door with a doorknob. Underneath the door are stick figure people arranged in lines. The first column is labeled "To criticize" and it has a long line of stick figures. The second column is labeled "To gossip" and the line of stick figures is shorter than the first column. The third column is labeled "To get involved" and the line of stick figures is even shorter. The fourth column is labeled "To encourage" and the line is shorter still. The fifth column is labeled "To help" and it has a single stick figure.
