it’s funny how words evolve in meaning and devolve increasingly into nonsense words as you continue to talk to someone you’re close to

as an example: my partner and i say “zinky!” to each other a lot, as an expression of excitement—akin to “fuck yeah!” but in a silly way.

i’ll give you a few seconds to guess what the origin source of this word is, though i don’t feel like it’ll be too hard to tell (though clearly i’m biased. i know what it means and i’m making a post about it after all).

drum roll…

and now, for the dramatic reveal:

“zinky” comes from the word “huzzah”

everyone who guessed that pat yourself on the back. if you didn’t i don’t blame you because it’s just kind of funny. i truly can’t remember why we started saying huzzah in triumph to one another but perhaps we’re just Like That lol. either way, somehow “huzzah” got bastardized into “huzinky!” and somehow recently we’ve dropped the “hu” in favor of just “zinky!” and tbh it won’t surprise me if this evolves into other variants like an invasive species like “inky” or “zink” or something along those lines.

but in just talking to each other every day, and in finding new ways to laugh and joke with and enthuse each other, we’ve come up with this seemingly arbitrary ass word that has a whole meaning to Us and us on our own (or ig to y’all too if you’re reading this and decide to say it LmaO). but it’s just fascinating to me how language evolves. it’s such a cool thing. how many other small tongue and cheek variations of different languages exist as inside jokes and phrases amongst love ones? words and phrases that will never see history books, but just in the shared oral history of those who say it? it’s really special to me.

and also funny.

#this is also an invitation to tell me weird words that you and ur friends or family or partners say #bc i just talked about zinky cuz that’s what i just text them #but genuinely we have SO MANY weird words we just say to each other #let alone non-speech vocalizstions cuz we just autism noises at each other all fucking day #about renjamin

Book recs (completely at random because I don't have time to read thew questions :P): 35, 85, 125, one of your choice

Thank you dear 💚💚💚 It sure is a long list of questions, so picking numbers at random is a good choice as any ;)

35. a book featuring the found family trope

(I'll confess that I don't really understand the found family trope, how does is differ from a story about close friends?)

I recently read The Bone People by Keri Hulme and really enjoyed it! The characters are deeply flawed yet choose to stick together even after the hell they're putting each other through. Be warned though, it's dark af, so check out the trigger warnings if you know there are subjects you don't want to read about.

85. your favourite book about magical realism

Darn it, I've already recommended The Bone People! To be fair, I liked it a lot, so it's worth mentioning it again. Also I don't read much magical realism, so I don't have anything to recommend, except for the obvious Isabel Allende.

125. your favourite autumn read

Autumn feels non-fictiony to me. I have a long list that I want to read... Let's see what my class schedule has to say about it. So far I've read Цинковые мальчики (Zinky Boys, or Boys in Zink) by Svetlana Alexievich. I wouldn't call it my favourite, because of the heavy subject matter. And if found it very upsetting that all this (gestures vaguely towards the window) has been happening before!

wildcard:

The Echo Wife, by Sarah Gailey! I'm currently reading their newest novel, and got reminded of how much I enjoyed this book. The protagonist are not very good people :) We love to see it (in fiction). Definitely give it a read if you're looking for a thrilling read!

BOOK RECS ASK GAME

#i didn't recommend mephisto this time because you've already picked it up ;;;;)#though be sure i would have found a way to fit it into the questions hehe #thank you for asking <3 #vere-dauriac #ask game

I am curious!

7, 11, 20, 52, 76, 85

Hi there, Zinky! here I am with my answers!! 7.earbuds or headphones? Earbuds, tho sometimes I would love to wear headphones (but it hurts because of the glasses :/ )

11.what you have for breakfast on an average day? (copy paste from my other ask) Mmmm, on an average day, I am not overly hungry, so I just go with a cup of caffe latte and maybe an apple as a snack. But, if I am feeling hungry, I love to make myself oatmeal with apples, raisins, walnuts and a CRAPTON of cinnamon.

20.preferred place to write (i.e., in a note book, on your laptop, sketchpad, post-it notes, etc.)? It truly depends! I’d say that mostly i prefer to write on my laptop, especially if I am home. But if I am outside, my mobile phone works just as fine! ( I think I have written a whole chapter on the phone, once, because the computer was behaving like a bitch. It’s not the most comfortable, but it’s doable!) 52. favorite font? Garamond and Chaucer!

76. what’s your favorite potato food (i.e. tater tots, baked potatoes, fries, chips, etc.)? I have two, sour cream and onion flavoured Pringles and jacket potato!! I could eat TONS of them!

85. fairy tales or mythology? Gaaaah, this one is a hard one, because I love both. But I have to say that, hilariously enough, I became interested in fairytales only during my teenage years. When I was a child I used to prefer mythological books, and it has stuck with me to these days, so I’d say Mythology for the win (and if we talk about Greek and Egyptian Mythology, even more so) thank you for the ask, Zinky! I had fun!! <3 --Nemo

Do you have any book recommendations?

A few! Most of these are books I read recently. (Some others I read are by Italian authors and were not translates in English as far as I know, so I left those out.)

If you’d like a well-written horror, I suggest The Silent Companions. It is a genuinely creepy Victorian ghost story that unnerved me as I read, and I am not easily unnerved. Before You Sleep is a collection of three short horror stories and I loved them. One of them, Where Angels Come In, can be read online and is probably my fave short horror story ever.

A couple of fantasy sagas I really like are Shades of Magic (wonderful worldbuilding, adorable characters, a kickass female co-protagonist, magic, a bisexual prince and a gay noble turned pirate) and The Dagger and the Coin (interesting characters and the most unexpected villain who is wonderfully written, does awful things you hate him for, but also you can see his reasoning and how he comes to each decision and it is terrifying.)

For non-fiction, I recently read (or re-read) Voices from Chernobyl, Zinky Boys (neither is an emotionally easy read), as well as The Good Immigrant and Who Rules The World. Also I know this is probably pretty niche, but The Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot is an excellent read about the history of early Christianity, the different times the various gospels were written and what agenda each of them fit in that time period. I am currently reading The Five, which is an account of the lives of the victims of Jack the Ripper, focusing on the people they were rather than on their deaths. I have just started it, but so far it is a very interesting read.

Some more works of fiction I recommend on top of my head among those I read recently are Wise Children, A Man Called Ove, as well as The House of Spirits, which I read a zillion times and will probably read a zillion more.

Carrie

Author: Stephen King

First published: 1974

Pages: 171

Rating: ★★★☆☆

A good entertainment to cleanse my palette.... Might check out more King books eventually.

The Price Guide to the Occult

Author: Leslye Walton

First published: 2018

Pages: 288

Rating: ★★★☆☆

How long did it take: 3 days

First of all, there should be a MASSIVE trigger warning for self-harm and parental abuse. Second of all, this is one of those books that simply needed more meat and more time. The premise is interesting, the writing beautiful, but all the gore and horror in it would have benefitted greatly from a more complex world. Many key scenes and situations were explained in a hurry and left one unsatisfied. And saying all that, just because a book is centred around a teen girl should not make it a YA. Because this is not.

My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises

Author: Fredrik Backman

First published: 2013

Pages: 342

Rating: ★★☆☆☆

How long did it take: 4 days

Look, I completely understand why this book is so praised by many people. I could pinpoint the many places in it which probably resonate with others. But for whatever reason, I was bored for most of it. I had to force myself to continue reading and that is never good. This was just not for me.

The Gentleman’s Guide to Getting Lucky

Author: Mackenzi Lee

This was just friggin stinking cute. Cannot wait for another book in this series.

Medieval Bodies: Life, Death and Art in the Middle Ages

Author: Jack Hartnell

First published: 2019

Pages: 352

Rating: ★★★★☆

How long did it take: 11 days

Very accessible to anyone, with or without a knowledge of medieval times. I enjoyed the way the book was structured according to various body parts, which then were used as a base for a discussion of other topics relevant to life in the Middle Ages. It is not just medicine, but also sexuality, travelling, fashion and other themes. I would have liked the book to be much more lengthy, to be honest, because I simply found it fascinating. My favourite part? Probably the ode to the vagina and the explanation of the penis trees. I am just a lowly human with a dirty mind after all!

The Raven Boys

Author: Maggie Stiefvater

First published: 2012

Pages: 409

Rating: ★★★★☆

How long did it take: 5 days

I had so much fun reading this! It was like The Secret History by Donna Tart, except less on crack and with magic. What I appreciated were the were very real conflicts dealing with social class, the clear individuality of each character, the fact that going to class and striving for good marks is actually a significant factor for these kids and also a twist I did not see coming. Intrigued. Will definitely read the rest of the series.

The Gloaming

Author: Kirsty Logan

First published: 2018

Pages: 320

Rating: ★★★☆☆

How long did it take: 8 days

First of all, I have to say that the cover and Kirsty´s previous books made me expect something completely else than I was given. So here goes for everybody else: this is NOT a book about mermaids and it is NOT in any way related to The Gracekeepers. It is a story about FAMILY and the weight of OBLIGATION in contrast to personal WANTS as well as searching for the meaning of HOME. Sprinkled with just a tiny magical element. The writing is gorgeous and the atmosphere utterly melancholy. So why didn't I love it more? Partly because of my misplaced expectations, but that I could probably overlook. However, this story is so slow that even halfway through the book I still had a feeling it hasn't started yet. It also took a little while to get used to the format in which the timelines skip here and there and everywhere. In the end, it all does click together and it did leave me thinking about the book though. To steal the very last line: perhaps that's all we can ask.

Every Heart a Doorway

Author: Seanan McGuire

First published: 2016

Pages: 168

Rating: ★★★☆☆

How long did it take: 1 day

I truly appreciate the idea as well as inclusivity of this book, at the same time I have to say that if anything, I felt it was unfinished. It felt like a first or second draft, just capturing the basic skeleton (pun intended) of the story before the author would return it and actually put meat on it (he he he). Why should I care for characters I know nothing about and met them yesterday? The language was felt adequate yet fairly unimpressive. And in what reality people have such a lacklustre reaction to brutal murder? This book feels like an opportunity not taken and it is a real pity. Because the premise and even the plot had so much potential.

Zinky Boys: Soviet Voices from the Afghanistan War

Author: Svetlana Alexievich

First published: 1989

This was an absolutely brutal read. A perfect gallery of human voices and the differences of their experience of the same events. Just really brutal.

Mermaid Moon

Author: Susann Cokal

First published: 2020

Pages: 496

Rating: ★★☆☆☆

How long did it take: 3 days

I am SO disappointed but I guess it serves me right since this one was a complete cover buy. Unfortunately, the gorgeousness of the book (including UNDER the cover) is not matched by the content. I had expected a melancholy fairytale since after all this is supposed to be a sort of retelling of the Little Mermaid. And the premise itself sounded promising too. A young mermaid comes on land to find her long lost human mother, but unexpected happenings surrounding our main protagonist inspires some pretty strong feelings in a humble and religious community. Sadly the story is told in a way which makes me wonder for whom it was intended. Most of the book reads like the most boring and basic teenage romance (including instalove and a love triangle), but then there are really unnecessary descriptions of interspecies mating techniques. The structure of the story is very sloppy. I feel the 2 stars are more than generous.

Hitler's Forgotten Children: The Shocking True Story of the Nazi Kidnapping Conspiracy

Author: Ingrid Von Oelhafen

First published: 2015

Pages: 256

Rating: ★★★☆☆

How long did it take: 3 days

I was misled by the title of the book. I went into it expecting a study of Lebensborn (which was not a completely unknown thing to me) which would explore the reasons of its birth (pun not intended), people behind it, more information on the people who ran it, exploration of the routine and of course personal stories of its children. In a concise but rather short and watered-down way, I got all of those, however, it did not offer me any real depth of information. So what this book actually is? It is a personal memoir of a lady who had battled all of her life with the question of identity and origins and found in her later years that she was actually a Lebensborn baby. We get to know her difficulties over searching for information and eventually finding her origins. On one hand, the story is interesting and the writing very accessible, on the other hand, I found it somewhat unengaging and, as previously noted, not too informative for someone like me, who already possesses some knowledge of the matter, both because I have studied history and because the Nazis stealing children has always been a big topic in my country, Czechoslovakia back then since it happened here too. .

The Home For Unwanted Girls

Author: Joanna Goodman

First published: 2018

Pages: 364

Rating: ★★★★☆

How long did it take: 3 days

A touching tale about complicated family matters and relationships in the context of 1950s Canada. I really enjoyed it and it earns bonus points for teaching me something new in terms of history. Definitely would recommend if you like books like Before We Were Yours.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Stories

Author: Robert Louis Stevenson

First published: 1886

Pages: 256

Rating: ★★★★☆

How long did it take: 9 days

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this collection of short stories. True, I did not much care about one and felt a bit disappointed by another (The Suicide Club which had a phenomenal premise but fell short on excitement or satisfying finish), but overall I was quite intrigued and amused.

Ibn Al-Nafees and Discovery of the Blood Circulation System

New Post has been published on http://www.truth-seeker.info/featured/ibn-al-nafees-and-discovery-of-the-blood-circulation-system/

Ibn Al-Nafees and Discovery of the Blood Circulation System

By Truth Seeker Staff

Who was Ibn Al-Nafees?

He was an extremely learned, multi-talented scientist, and a pioneer in medicine. Through his researches and discoveries, he managed to surpass his contemporary scientists and even those who came after him. He, alone, managed to write the largest medical encyclopedia in history.

He is the scientist and physician, `Alaa’u Al-Deen `Ali Ibn Abul Hazm, known as Ibn Al-Nafees.

His Birth and Early Years

His early life and seeking knowledge

`Alaa’u Al-Deen `Ali Ibn Abul Hazm Al-Qurashi was born in Damascus in 607 A.H (1210 A.C.) He started seeking knowledge in his early years. He memorized the Glorious Qur’an, learned how to read and write, and studied jurisprudence, Hadith, and the Arabic language. Then, he directed his efforts to the study of medicine and his teacher was Muhadhab Al-Deen `Abdur-Rahim `Ali who was known as Al-Dikhwar. This teacher was one of the most famous ophthalmologists. He was also manager of the Noori Hospital in Damascus and head of the physicians in Syria and Egypt. In the Noori Hospital, the giant corporation established by Noor Al-Deen Mahmood Ibn Zinki, Ibn Al-Nafees studied medicine and his teachers were the two famous physicians Al-Muhadhab Al-Dikhwar and `Imran Al-Isra`ili who taught many of the well-known physicians of that time.

Back then, Damascus was ruled by the Ayyoobid Dynasty who paid a lot of attention to science and knowledge. They made Damascus and Cairo, as well as other cities under their control, great centers of knowledge which received students and scholars from all over the world. After spending a short time studying medicine, Ibn Al-Nafees became a skillful physician whose knowledge and experience was equal to that of his great teachers, and he became famous everywhere.

His stay in Egypt

In Cairo, in 633 A.H. (1236 A.C), Ibn Al-Nafees traveled to Egypt and stayed in Cairo, the capital of the Ayyoobid State. Ibn Al-Nafees joined the Naasiri Hospital which was established by Sultan An-Naasir Saladin Al-Ayyoobi in 577 A.H. (1181 A.C.) Ibn Al-Nafees worked in the hospital as a physician, and later as a teacher of medicine. Owing to his studious nature and excellence in medicine, he became head of the Hospital and manager of its Medical school. Some years later, he moved to work as head of the Mansoori Hospital which was established by Sultan Al-Mansoor Ibn Qalawoon in 680 A.H. (1281 A.C.). Ibn Al-Nafees occupied several positions until he became the physician of Sultan Al-Dhahir Beibers. Ibn Al-Nafees was famous throughout the whole country. He led a life of affluence in Cairo. He built a spacious house and allocated part of it to be a library which was full of reference books in all fields of knowledge. In this place, Ibn Al-Nafees used to meet the most well-known scientists, princes, high ranking people, and students in order to study issues related to medicine, jurisprudence, and language.

Discovering the Minor Blood Circulation System

For several centuries, scientists of medicine from all over the world were of the opinion that the first scientist to discover blood circulation was the British doctor, William Harvey, in 1628. Harvey wrote a book entitled ‘Anatomical Essay on the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals’ in which he gave an accurate account of the mechanism of the circulatory system.

This false assumption prevailed until the academic world was surprised when an Egyptian physician proved that it was Ibn Al-Nafees who discovered the blood circulation. The Egyptian physician, Muhyid-Deen Al-Tataawi, proved this fact in his PhD thesis which he submitted for Freiberg University, Germany in 1343 A.H. (1924 A.C.) Al-Tataawi discovered this outstanding piece of information after he found a manuscript from Ibn Al-Nafees’ book ‘The Explanation of Anatomy in Al-Qanoon Book’ in the Berlin Library.

In this book, Ibn Al-Nafees, prior to William Harvey, provided a scientific description of the minor circulatory system. Al-Tataawi, with this discovery, astonished all his teachers and drew the attention of many scientists and researchers in the field. In the forefront of these scientists was the German Orientalist Mayer Hoove who worked as a resident physician in Egypt and spoke Arabic fluently. In 1931, he published a detailed treatise in which he confirmed the truth of this astonishing fact. Thus, after seven centuries, Ibn Al-Nafees regained his right once again.

Other contributions to medicine

The discovery of the blood circulation system is one of the unique, unprecedented contributions of Ibn Al-Nafees to medicine. He was also the first physician to describe the arteries that carry blood to the heart muscle, although there is a common misconception among medical historians that a scientist named Stokes was the first to discover arteries. There is yet another unprecedented discovery by Ibn Al-Nafees that should not be ignored; he described the tiny capillaries that allow a constant interchange between the blood and waste products in the tissues.

Three centuries later, the Italian scientist Riyaldoa Colombo talked about these capillaries.

His Writings

Ibn Al-Nafees’ fame was not limited to medicine. He was one of the greatest scholars of his time in the Arabic language, philosophy, jurisprudence, and Prophetic Ahadith. He has many books in these fields such as:

– The Kaamiliyyah Treatise on the Prophetic Biography

– Faadil Ibn Naatiq which is similar to the famous book Hayy Ibn Yaqdhaan

– The Concise Book in the Fundamentals of Hadeeth Science

– The Way to Eloquence in Arabic grammar

In the field of medicine, he had many writings and contributions such as:

– Explanation of Hippocrates Collection

– The Abridged Book on the Experimented Kohl

– The Concise Book on Medicine

– The Explanation of Anatomy in Al-Qanoon Book (the Canon)

– The Comprehensive Book on the Medical Profession which is the greatest of Ibn Al-Nafees’ works and the largest medical encyclopedia is ever written by one person.

His death

During his last days, Ibn Al-Nafees became seriously ill after he reached eighty years. He stayed in bed for six days. Some physicians advised him to drink some wine, claiming that he would recover. Ibn Al-Nafees refused to drink even a drop and said: I will not meet Allah (i.e. die) with a drop of wine in my stomach. He died on Friday the 21st of Thul-Qi’dah 687 A.H., the 17th of December 1288. Before his death, he made a will that all his possessions, money, books, and house should be allocated to the Mansoori Hospital as an endowment.

My application to be Infowars.com newest Washington correspondent

Alex Jones Infowars.com P.O Box 19549 Austin, TX 78760 January 26, 2019 (via webform) Dear Mr. Jones, I recently read in the media that your esteemed company, Infowars.com, had broken ranks with noted writer Jerome Corsi and had stopped paying Mr. Corsi $15,000 per month salary as Infowars' Washington correspondent. I am a YUUUGE fan of Mr. Corsi's work, especially the books he wrote documenting the ineligibility of Barack Obama to be president of the United States (because Obama was not a natural-born U.S. citizen), and that Sen. John Kerry was more Vietnam war coward than hero. I've also greatly appreciated Corsi's articles proving the 1969 moon landing was staged, and his book about 9/11, which established beyond any reasonable doubt that the U.S. government, in conjunction with Israel, was responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon -- and that Al Quaeda and Osama bin Laden were innocent dupes. It's disheartening that Infowars no longer has a journalist of Mr. Corsi's caliber working in Washington, D.C. and that's why I'm writing today. Please consider this my application as Inforwars' capital correspondent. Mr. Corsi has left some big shoes to fill, but I swear I'm up to that task! Plus, I will do the job for only $10,000 per month, plus expenses. Here are some eye-popping articles I propose about notable Washingtonians which dovetail nicely with the fine journalism for which Infowars is known far and wide. John McCain The late Sen. John McCain NEVER was held as a prisoner of war by North Vietnam. Instead, McCain spent his 6 years of supposed "captivity" ensconced in a brothel in Bangkok, Thailand. The fact he was emaciated and could barely walk upon his "release" was actually due to the fact he'd spent more than half a decade copulating like a rabbit with a succession of prostitutes, who were paid by the CIA under the orders of former President Lyndon Johnson. In other words, the myth of McCain's heroism was created out of whole cloth by the Deep State (otherwise known as the Illuminati), which later also created his political career. To document this I have an on-the-record interview with the madame of the brothel in which McCain resided, and many photographs of him there that she passed along to me. Of course, those have been authenticated. Laura Bush Very, very few people know that First Lady Laura Bush was a heroin addict for much of the time that she and President George W. Bush lived in the White House. Her supplier was a mid-level dealer from Southeast Washington who went by the street name "Zinky;" the Bushes later hired him as a White House porter so that he would be nearby whenever Laura needed a fix. Zinky was later gunned down by an assasin hired by Purdue Pharma (the pharmaceutical company that manufactured OxyContin). Thereafter, Laura's addiction was kept sated by an unlimited prescription for that drug. In return, the Bushes allowed Purdue Pharma to distribute OxyContin liberally all over the United States. This is the REAL cause of the current opioid crisis, and I have genuine internal documents from Purdue Pharma that prove it. Michelle Obama Many reputable authors, including on Infowars, have raised speculation that Michelle Obama was born male and later underwent sex change surgery, and to support that they have noted her extraordinarily large hands. To date such speculation has never been proven, but I finally have the goods and the story is a bit more complicated. Actually, Michelle was born a hermaphrodite, and her male sex organs were amputated when she was 3 years old. To document this I've gotten hold of the diary of the late Cuban surgeon who performed that operation in Havana. This is the real reason why President Obama sought to normalize relations between the United States and that totalitarian island-nation. Jeff Bezos (owner of the Washington Post) Bezos made his fortune with Amazon.com, and has received much criticism for the inhumane working conditions of Amazon employees. I have uncovered incontrovertible evidence that explains such heartlessness: Bezos in fact is not human. Instead, he's a shape-shifting reptile-alien who was born on one of Jupiter's moons and transported to Earth in his late teens. (This is why no record of him exists until age 17). I have black-and-white pictures of the spacecraft that crash-landed him in Siberia, as well as color time-lapse photographs that document Bezos' ability to shape-shift from his normal state as a lizard (he's the size of a large alligator) to his human state. The reason he's bald is that lizards are genetically unable to grow hair. I have much, much more material, some of it even juicier than the tidbits above, that I would love to share with Infowars and its higher-plane-thinking readership. And again, I would serve as the website's Washington correspondent for much less money than Mr. Corsi. I am anxious to move to Washington and begin work for Inforwars as soon as possible. You can contact me at the email address below. Sincerely, Arthur Mofodopoulis 16 Ficcion Lane Mexico City, Mexico.
