I was looking for something in the shed and found this instead. (Actually I found a TON of very cool things that I own but don't have room for in the cottage, but anyway...)
I did a little research and apparently this is the first book in the short series of Columbo tie-in books. What's weird is that mine is hardback but I can't find it listed as a hardback anywhere. On the back it actually says "First Time in Paperback". Maybe it was made for libraries.
Anyway, here's today's cool thing.

British gay/bi male writers and their social circles
Tumblr media
As a great admirer of gay literature, the social circles of gay and bisexual male writers is something that piques my interest. Due to the dangerousness of the matter in the past and also because it revolves around a relatively small niche, it seems that there was high level familiarity between these figures. The United Kingdom, a country whose literary input has abundant homoerotic tones, is a very adequate setting to analyze such a configuration.
I've been building a graph on this subject for some time, and now it seems mature enough for me to post it. It's a diagram based on friendship connections — deep or superficial —, although romantic and family-related connections are also included. Just a mutual recognition of existence isn't enough to justify a connection (otherwise most of them would be linked to Wilde!), and rivalries were not considered too. All the writers included were born during the Victorian and Edwardian eras (1837-1910), where this interconnectivity seemed particularly strong.
This is just an early version, as I imagine there is still a considerable amount of information that I missed. Therefore, I'm very open to suggestions and comments on it!
(Three Irishmen were also included in the diagram: Stoker, Wilde and Reid)

The term “Middle East” itself is rooted in Eurocentrism, as it references the region's location relative to Europe rather than its actual geographical location.
Tumblr media
The term "Middle East" may have originated in the 1850s in the British India Office. However, it became more widely known when American naval strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan used the term in 1902 to "designate the area between Arabia and India"

A few days ago I watched Oppenheimer with my friend without knowing what the movie was about.
The first memorable scene for me was, actually, when Dr. Lawrence was shown at the screen. There's just something in him that made him look very attractive.
But overall the movie was great. For someone who didn't know much about the subject before, it kept me awake and focused on the plot.

Surprisingly few elements have been named after people; at present, only 15 people have been immortalised on the periodic table, and they are listed in table 1.4.
