me every time i take a sip of my cappuccino: do they know it's called cappuccino because the color is similar to the sackcloth worn by capuchin friars (cappuccini). do they know capuchin friars got their name from the hood (cappuccio) they wear. do they know cappuccino is a double diminutive as it comes from capo ('robe') + uccio = cappuccio ('hood' but literally 'little robe') + ino = cappuccino ('tiny hood' but literally 'tiny little robe'). do they know

#will be thinking about this next time i have a cappucino

as much as we think we’ve made waves with regards to body positivity the standard of beauty now feels like a much narrower category than it did in the past

“The English word ‘symbol’ is the Greek word symbolon which means, in the ancient world, one half of a knucklebone carried as a token of identity to someone who has the other half. Together the two halves compose one meaning. A metaphor is a species of symbol. So is a lover. In the words of Aristophanes (in Plato’s Symposium):Each one of us is but the symbolon of a human being—sliced in half like a flatfish, two instead of one—and each pursues a neverending search for the symbolon of himself. (191d) Every hunting, hungering lover is half of a knucklebone, wooer of a meaning that is inseparable from its absence.”

— Anne Carson, Eros the Bittersweet
