I'm reading a book of classical poems by Arab women, and found this gem from some 1000 years ago: "Leave me alone, you’re not my equal, you’re not a man of the world nor a man of faith, yet you want to own me, you mindless twit." (by Umm Ja'far bint Ali) That's it. That's the whole poem. #poetry #poem #WomensHistory #women #literature #art #bookstodon

I envy people who can articulate what's happening with such painful yet cathartic accuracy: https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-40/the-intellectual-situation/critical-attrition/ #books #reading #reviews #literature

Frida painted 143 works from a bed she couldn't leave. Tennessee Williams wrote 30 plays while gay in the South. Saeed Jones won the Kirkus Prize. They made beauty while the world told them not to. The thread doesn't break; it changes hands. From Stonewall to the Equality Act passing the House in 2025, we inherit the practice. Keep going. The work outlives the noise. #FridaKahlo #TennesseeWilliams #QueerHistory #Resilience #Art #Literature #EqualityAct #History https://twp.ai/9OUqJk

John Hollander’s poem Kitty and Bug is self-explanatory in its simplicity. The cat’s unpunctuated, almost stream-of-consciousness thoughts fit into a physical ‘cat’ shape, while the bug – in sharp contrast – is but a 3-letter word near the edge of the page.

It seems that for more than a hundred years, no one noticed that the Icelandic "translation" of Bram Stoker's »Dracula« was basically fan fiction. 😄 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powers_of_Darkness_(Iceland) #TIL #Literature #Dracula

If the only thing you know about people with #HoardingDisorder is something from #RealityTV, I strongly encourage you to learn the actual reality. I'm no expert on the #diagnostic side but my understanding of the condition and it's history in the relevant #medical #literature is that hoarding was once considered a manifestation(?) of #OCD, but over the years experts noted a key distinguishing factor for hoarding vs OCD in particular: When people with OCD are engaging in a repetitive behaviour (eg: excessive handwashing) they feel terrible about it. They want desperately to stop *in the moment* but cannot do so. People with hoarding disorder, OTOH, feel good, perhaps even fabulous, in the moment(s) of acquiring new things. The bad feeling only comes after and/or when trying to de-accumulate. And a full-abstinence, AA-type approach cannot work, as people NEED to aquire things to survive: groceries don't buy themselves, after all! 😐 14/x #differentiation #difference #characteristic
