In La Disparition, which is the longest lipogram ever written (a lipogram being a piece of writing which deliberately does not use one or more letters), an eccentric man named Anton Vowl disappears, leaving his friends to solve the clues and puzzles he’s left behind. There’s a constant sense for them that there is something missing, not just a man but some facet of their universe, and as they realize what it is, horrible things begin to happen to them, one by one. It’s a deeply weird, fascinating read, whether in the original French or in any translation (since E is the most frequently used letter in French, each of the translations leaves out the most common letter in their own language).
Perec followed up La Disparition by writing Les Revenentes, which contains no vowels except E.
why the fuck is no one naming their children after greek goddesses? Name your fucking child Persephone?????? Bitch???????!?
If that makes you happy, my name is Demeter
In my experience, people named after Greek goddesses are some of the most ethereal, chaotic forces I have ever encountered.
Our Art Department’s nude model, for example, is a woman named Hera. She’s stunningly beautiful, rides a motorcycle as apparently her only vehicle, grows all her own food, and keeps bees, turtles, and a dog named Argus, who she walks around town with a peacock feather attached to his leash.
I am thoroughly convinced she is not of this realm.
some dude on survivor outed another survivor who happened to be trans and called it “deception” like this was some damn soap opera and everyone was like ”lmao that’s personal and not your fucking problem?” and the host immediately said “We don’t need to vote, just grab your torch” and had him kicked off. that’s some instant fucking karma.
“We don’t need to vote, just grab your torch”
AMAZING
“Pack your shit up and GTFO” is the correct response to transphobic bags of crap like that guy
one of the funniest things about being gay is when u accidentally become homonormative in your head and assuming everything is gay like ill be listening to a love song and im like “wait… is she singing about a guy?? why would she wanna do that” bc i forgot about the concept of heterosexuals and that being straight is considered the default by most people lol
