@SubbuSaha_ Quite well thank you. And yourself ? What are you reading these days?

To anyone who reads Dostoevsky, Kafka, Plath, Woolf, Nietzsche, Tolstoy, and Camus... I gotta ask, are you guys doing okay?

@Kristinartz Spunster ?

What do you call a man who lives alone, without a wife or partner?

@muheediva01 Go about my day as per usual

It’s 1995. You wake up. There’s no Wi-Fi. You don’t have a cell phone. You don’t have a computer. There is no Facebook/Instagram/TikTok  What is the first thing that you do?

@jan_murray @barrydistrict @HelenWebberley

This @barrydistrict story is an embarrassment to journalism. Readers are told a "woman" masturbated in front of nurses. They are then told the prosecutor said: "The defendant put her hands down her leggings to the groin area. Staff could see that she had her penis in her hand and that her hand was moving up and down." "Her penis." To be fair to the reporter, he is accurately reporting what was said in court. But that means the pronouns change from female to male halfway through the story. And journalism is supposed to help readers understand what happened by reporting material facts clearly and accurately. Not require them to perform mental gymnastics in order to make sense of the story. This kind of reporting is confusing, absurd and frankly beneath the standards journalism should aspire to. And it shows exactly what happens when gender ideology is allowed to dictate public life - including the legal system and the media. Link in comments 👇

@_Anfiska_ @yN749D5zQ841zz7 @AJLdmjaxnBKH4k9 Wasn’t there a Russian version recently perhaps in the last 5/6 years or did I mix up something? I love this book, not sure what I think of this…

@yN749D5zQ841zz7 @AJLdmjaxnBKH4k9 Мне кажется, это произведение вообще сложно будет экранизировать иностранцам. Хотя "Собачье сердце"сняли итальянцы задолго до Бортко. И он полностью копировал итальянскую версию. Просто наши актёры сделали этот фильм очень нашим, родным. Другого ПрофессораП я даже не представляю)

Джонни Депп (62) сыграет Мастера в новой экранизации «Мастера и Маргариты» и сам выступит продюсером проекта. Актёр не раз говорил, что этот роман – одно из его самых любимых произведений. А главная интрига - слухи, что роль Маргариты может достаться Хелене Бонем Картер(60).

@jdoyleDoyle1 The quote does not refer to accuracy of translation but choice of phrase and rhythm

U Leguin did not read Greek, & so was not competent to judge these translations, according to the criterion affirmed by Arnold in ‘On Translating Homer’, which is hard to dispute. It would save a lot of time if people in general could bear this in mind

@HelenWebberley You come across as a person who believes to me superior to the vast majority of others. Your posts, points and comparisons you make are poorly done and unconvincing

My kids read about that Gruffalo every single day and not one of them turned out to have a poisonous wart on the end of their nose. Oh and we never went on a bear hunt. Not once.

@SketchesbyBoze But First and foremost Philadelphia Story

A truly alarming number of people are saying they’ve never heard of James Stewart, so I’m BEGGING you to return home tonight and watch Vertigo. Along with Fanny & Alexander, it is probably the greatest film of all time.

@PAHoyeck Eclectic mix

Paper books? Yes. Exclusively paper books? Also yes.

@provincijalk4 Ne znam da li je prevedena Jako prijatna knjiga

Hoću knjigu koja je stvarno dobra, ali da ima srećan kraj i da ne plačem na kraju. Osim ako je neka naučna fantastika ili epska fantastika, tada može i tužan kraj, ali da je dobra. Preporuke?

@IstragaB Zlatan 0/0

Thierry Henry i Zlatan Ibrahimović zapjevali : “I am from Bosnia” Henry izjavio da je njegova supruga Bosanka, da su djeca pola Bosanci i da će navijati za BiH

@MamadorNY @Niko9dh @transbulgaria Please don’t educate me take your kolo, go, dance! You cannot appreciate this video it’s fine

@Niko9dh @NedaP7 @transbulgaria Yes, it’s 100% Serbian dance and Užice is place in Serbia. That’s where the name comes from. Some Bosnians have a issue with calling it “Serbian” but the truth of the meter is tons of Serbs live in Bosnia and they probably dance this kolo all the time. It’s Serbian dance

Not supporting Bosnia during the World Cup is elite-level Balkan betrayal.

@Niko9dh @transbulgaria No need to say more, people are dancing they are happy that’s it

@NedaP7 @transbulgaria Wdym, it’s always been a dance

@aprilajoyr Tell the men that they are not be all and end all, but just a member of the human race, not entitled to another one’s body. Tell them : Control your filthy urges and leave children alone.

Telling 8 year old girls to cover up their bodies because men might lust after them is what's actually sexualizing children. Not queer people existing. Not drag shows. Not pride month. The Church.

@bluzoan We need to credentials here at the back

Let's explain for the TERFs in the back: It is chemically and physically possible to change your secondary sex characteristics. It is not however possible to change the neurology that cements your gender identity. This has been known in the field since at least the 1980s.

@Niko9dh @transbulgaria Now it’s a dance

@transbulgaria Is this dance called uzicko kolo? Isnt that Serbian dance?

@AGallagherAlly Because none of those are connected to TW biological sex either, however they want it to be equal to your biological sex. Hence a woman is a costume. I am not a costume, how about you?

As a woman, I play up to the gender stereotype all the time. I buy clothes in the women's department wear make up, have a feminine hair cut, wear heels, carry a handbag.. None of these things are connected to my "biological sex" Yet it's deemed offensive when TW do these things?

@Rebecca_SPaul He said nothing. 0

Housing male prisoners in women’s prisons is a clear breach of the Equality Act 2010. Yesterday I asked the EHRC what they are going to do about it given they have responsibility for enforcing the Equality Act.
