W tym roku było wiele, ale „Fizyka smutku” w czołówce. Gospodinov bierze znany mit i robi z nim co chce, wykorzystuje go do rozmyślań o dzieciństwie, samotności, wojnie. Dekonstrukcja, zobaczenia mitu od innej strony, zobaczenie go w innych realiach.
Właśnie, wojna, to jak o niej pisze jest jednym z najlepszych i najbardziej poruszających wątków o wojnie.

Sięga do filozofii, innych pisarzy, historii, tradycji, języka. Podziwiam intelekt i wiedze Pana Gospodinov.

Tłumaczka, Małgorzata Pytlak zrobiła cudowną robotę.

Na koniec garść cytatów

  • „ Płacz wymaga powietrza, płacz jest długim dźwięcznym wydychaniem strachu”
  • „Mój ojciec jest wegetarianinem i weterynarzem. Po prostu nie zjada swoich pacjentów”
  • „Odfiletowal je, wycięli mu pytające żądło”
  • „Śmierć przychodzi, kiedy to coś przestaje na nas patrzeć, odwróci od nas twarz”
  • „Mogę powiedzieć i tak- śmierć była moim pierwszym elementarze. Martwi nauczyli mnie czytać”
  • „Ja jestem książkami”

I really don't understand Abiy Ahmed, he is unpredictable and doesn't have his own stand, FANO was helping his fight against TPLF and today he is fighting against FANO.

One of the worst comments I hate is that “people shouldn’t test for Covid so they could still go to work.”

These thinking literally can kill people.. 😒

My Son: Natarāja with South East Asian characteristics lies next to bombshells from 1969. Huge craters lie next to where the ancient Champa kingdom - that ruled these parts from 8-14th centuries - built vast temple complexes comprising of Sivālayas and much more.

But the forest, the temples and bombed craters are all protected by UNESCO, and are being restored with an international team consisting of archeologists from India & Vietnam and funding from Germany and Netherlands.

Time for the usual daily #anime #manga #DecRecs, and today I'm gonna rec Pandora Hearts by Mochizuki Jun.

Japan loves Alice in the Wonderland, and this is another tale with a twist on it. Our main character, Oz Vesalius, was told that his entire existence was a sin during his coming of age ceremony and was banished into the Abyss where creatures called Chains exist. He meets Alice, one of the Chains in the Abyss, made a contract with her to help her regain her lost memories and then together they bust out of the Abyss into the surface/normal world and found out that ten years have passed.

It's very hard to describe the plot... But the series starts off immediately intriguing, and there are lots of mysteries to unfold. Also, there are lots of heartaches and paaain... But the ending is satisfying, imo. And the art is very pretty.

I'd recommend not watching the anime until after you read the manga because the anime is not great (please, someone, readapt it) but the music is great (well, it's Yuki Kajiura) and the cast is A+.

You can buy vol 1 here: https://yenpress.com/titles/9780316237383-pandorahearts-vol-1

Alrighty, in lieu of doing a December 2023 update, which was delayed due to some exciting news, I've instead written a final update for 2023.

Perhaps some time in January I'll write a year in review / roadmap piece.

Thanks to everyone who's been supporting my work!

Perhaps a key take-away on funding is: this year my income from working on the fediverse was approximately €12,000

That's over the past 6 months. It may be a little bit more by 31st December, but roughly about that much. €2000 per month on “average”.

For perspective, between March and September, I was mostly bank rolling the work I've been doing, to the tune of €16,000.

@vsnmaryland This is the same judge who issued the injunction it looks like?

Alston issued an 18-page opinion Tuesday evening to lift the injunction. He said the allegations that the removal efforts amounted to grave desecration “were, at best, ill-informed and, at worst, inaccurate.”

Aight, good to know he's changed his mind.

Some of the figures also on the statue include a Black woman depicted as “Mammy” holding what is said to be the child of a white officer, and an enslaved man following his owner to war. ... He noted that the statue depicts, among other things, a “slave running after his ‘massa’ as he walks down the road. What is reconciling about that?” asked Alston, an African American who was appointed to the bench in 2019 by then-President Donald Trump.

If I were this judge I'd be kicking myself for issuing the injunction in the first place. What craven ghoul would defend this rock?
