Irish poetry is awesome it's either like "God bless the beautiful and proud nation of Ireland and all of her natural beauty and culture", "God bless the beautiful and proud woman I am in love with who is a metaphor for the beautiful and proud nation of Ireland" or "Fucking English bastards ruining everything"

I will never ever not be insane about winter solstice.
The fact that it makes astronomical processes noticeable to humans. The symbolism of the longest night. The cultural significance.
Ancient Ireland used to have passage tombs, built in a way that the light only reached inside a few days in a year. Tonight is the solstice point and two days ago it reached Newgrange, the most famous one.

Good evening, why do you think americans are obsessed with Doctor Zhivago and what do you think of the novel?
I'm being charitable when I say that there are maybe five Russian books that John Liquor American can readily name, and all of them have been made into movies and/or musicals. With Zhivago, part of the reason it became a cultural touchstone so quickly has to do with the circumstances of its publication in the United States during the Cold War, closely followed by the epic David Lean film, in which Omar Sharif is so hot that it hardly matters that the movie itself is mid.
In regards to Zhivago's specific appeal to American sensibilities, I think a lot of it has to do with that adage about how an English language romance begins with a kiss and ends in a wedding, while a Russian language romance will begin with a kiss and end in Siberia. The weddings are fun but after all that stale cake, you want to want, and you want to be left wanting.
My relationship with Doctor Zhivago is that it's fundamental to my understanding of human dignity and human frailty. It is also a very nice love story.

i love you lesbians questioning their gender identity. I love you sapphics who encourage their partners to test new pronouns. I love you wlw and sometimes the journey to and beyond “girls” kissing “girls”. I love you those who can not disconnect their experience of femininity and loving women from their identity. even if it means often times it’s hard to understand yourself or hard for others to understand you. i love you.
