@angstyambrose Love you king ❤️ You seem very sweet

@MarcDesCoptesII I love you fratello mio

Lmao TIL translators translate the word "mysticism" as "التصوف" aka the word for Sufism Just surprised me because it's such a loaded term

@angstyambrose Where did you think I was from 😭 I'm literally a Copt who never even stepped foot out of Egypt

@MarcDesCoptesII When did you become middle eastern

@platosdemise LMAO I hope not

@MarcDesCoptesII Are those freaks dealers by any chance?

Until now, met two FREAKS who have the "disappearing messages" setting on whatsapp on, in which all messages get deleted after a specific amount of time. Weird as hell

Nothing is more romantic than the journey back to your own heart. I am the love of my life

@PhiloDakhel What do they mean by that?

@MarcDesCoptesII that is insane. no wonder i keep hearing this argument that sufism was imported from other traditions.

Historically "Christian Arabic" was a bit different than the general use of it because of the use of some words in different contexts and of the inclusion of loan words from Syriac and Greek (اقنوم for Hypostasis from the Syriac Qnomo, قربان for liturgy from Qorbono, etc etc etc)

However, now that I think of it, I think that's how "Modern Standard Arabic" would translate it In our own translations of Christian texts we just call it نسك

@ShemElYasmeen A guy YOUNGER than me just got MARRIED 😭 It's so over

guy i used to know who is my age just got engaged

@Snaelincognito Bro you'll love it, we have an absolute gold-mine of a thrift scene in Cairo. Has everything you can need, if you know what to look for Really cheap too. Got a pocket-edition copy of the Screwtape Letters for the equivalent of 0.5$

@MarcDesCoptesII Lovely. I'll thrift for so much if I come visit

Just noticed the copy of Hamlet that I thrifted has 15 pages missing :/ Oh well, will just read those online. A great copy though, one with a parallel paraphrase and many many essays, by some guy called Ramji Lall

@Moth3rmomo Happens to me oh so many times at uni 🙃 It was normal at school, so at uni every now and then I forget that some women out there don't like to shake hamds

dad forced me to introduce myself to a Muslim friend of his and I decided to turn the whole thing into a humiliation ritual by extending my hand for a handshake and the nigga stood there staring into my soul

(Note, Line 41 should say "To rust in us unused")

"O, from this time forth My thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth!"

Reading Hamlet to figure out what it's all about, and it's so pretty "The chariest maid is prodigal enough If she unmask her beauty to the moon. Virtue itself ’scapes not calumnious strokes. The canker galls the infants of the spring Too oft before their buttons be disclosed"

Everything is too overwhelming atm

There’s been a lot of talk about colorful Brutalism on the timeline but the answer has always been colorful Art Deco

@Nessie_aeg As you should

Atm my only pleasure in life is to wake up at my own leisure, eat a fulfilling breakfast, then have tea with milk as I read my book. Absolutely wonderful, been doing so all weekend. And how even more lovely if I can have a small treat with my tea, like a brownie or two
