In 1847 the stereotypes for male and female writers were very rigid. Critics expected from a male writer strength, passion, and intellect, and from a woman writer they expected tact, refinement, and piety. They depended on these stereotypes so much, in fact, that they really didn't know how to proceed, what to say, or what to look for in a book if they were unsure of the author's sex.
So Jane Eyre created a tremendous sensation, and it was a problem for the Brontës. The name Currer Bell could be that of either a man or a woman and the narrator of Jane Eyre is Jane herself. The book is told as an autobiography. These things suggested that the author might have been a woman. On the other hand, the novel was considered to be excellent, strong, intelligent and, most of all, passionate. And therefore, the critics reasoned, it could not be written by a woman, and if it turned out that it was written by a woman, she had to be unnatural and perverted.
The reason for this is that the Victorians believed that decent women had no sexual feelings whatsoever—that they had sexual anesthesia. Therefore, when Jane says about Rochester that his touch "made her veins run fire, and her heart beat faster than she could count its throbs," the critics assumed this was a man writing about his sexual fantasies. If a woman was the author, then presumably she was writing from her own experience, and that was disgusting. In this case we can clearly see how women were not permitted the authority of their own experience if it happened to contradict the cultural stereotype.
But even more shocking than this to the Victorians was Jane's reply to Rochester, a very famous passage in the novel. He has told her he is going to marry another woman, an heiress, but that she can stay on as a servant. Jane answers him thus:
"I tell you I must go," I retorted, roused to something like passion. "Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton, a machine without feeling and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I'm soulless and heartless? You think wrong. I have as much soul as you and full as much heart. And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should've made it as hard for you to leave me as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionality, nor even of mortal flesh. It is my spirit that addresses your spirit, just as if both had passed through the grave and we stood at God's feet equal—as we are."
This splendid assertion violated not only the standards of sexual submission, which were believed to be women's duty and their punishment for Eve's crime, but it also went against standards of class submission, and obviously against religion. And this sort of rebellion was not feminine at all.
The reviews of Jane Eyre in 1847 and 1848 show how confused the critics were. Some of them said Currer Bell was a man. Some of them, including Thackeray, said a woman. One man, an American critic named Edgar Percy Whipple, said the Bells were a team, that Currer Bell was a woman who did the dainty parts of the book and brother Acton the rough parts. All kinds of circumstantial evidence were adduced to solve this problem, such as the details of housekeeping. Harriet Martineau said the book had to be the work of a woman or an upholsterer. And Lady Eastlake, who was a reviewer for one of the most prestigious journals, said it couldn't be a woman because no woman would dress her heroines in such outlandish clothes.
Eventually Charlotte Brontë revealed her identity, and then these attacks which had been general became personal. People introduced her as the author of a naughty book; they gossiped that she was Thackeray's mistress. They speculated on the causes of what they called "her alien and sour perspective on women." She felt during her entire short life that she was judged always on the basis of what was becoming in femininity and not as an artist.

"There was a time when slavery was not profitable, and the discussion of the merits of the institution was confined almost exclusively to the territory where it existed...But when the institution became profitable, all talk of its abolition ceased where it existed; and naturally, as human nature is constituted, arguments were adduced in its support. The cotton-gin probably had much to do with the justification of slavery.
The winter of 1860-1 will be remembered by middle-aged people of to-day as one of great excitement. South Carolina promptly seceded after the result of the Presidential election was known. Other Southern States proposed to follow...The South claimed the sovereignty of States, but claimed the right to coerce into their confederation such States as they wanted, that is, all the States where slavery existed. They did not seem to think this course inconsistent. The fact is, the Southern slave-owners believed that, in some way, the ownership of slaves conferred a sort of patent of nobility -- a right to govern independent of the interest or wishes of those who did not hold such property. They convinced themselves, first, of the divine origin of the institution and, next, that that particular institution was not safe in the hands of any body of legislators but themselves.
Meanwhile the Administration of President Buchanan looked helplessly on and proclaimed that the general government had no power to interfere; that the Nation had no power to save its own life. Mr. Buchanan had in his cabinet two members at least, who were as earnest -- to use a mild term -- in the cause of secession as Mr. [Jefferson] Davis or any Southern statesman. One of them, [John B.] Floyd, the Secretary of War, scattered the army so that much of it could be captured when hostilities should commence, and distributed the cannon and small arms from Northern arsenals throughout the South so as to be on hand when treason wanted them. The navy was scattered in like manner.
The President did not prevent his cabinet preparing for war upon their government, either by destroying its resources or storing them in the South until a de facto government was established with Jefferson Davis as its President, and Montgomery, Alabama, as the Capital. The secessionists had then to leave the cabinet. In their own estimation they were aliens in the country which had given them birth. Loyal men were put into their places. Treason in the executive branch of the government was estopped. But the harm had already been done. The stable door was locked after the horse had been stolen."
-- Ulysses S. Grant, on the inaction of President James Buchanan as states began to secede following the 1860 election, and pointing out the fact that high-ranking Southern members of President Buchanan's cabinet -- including the Secretary of War -- actively worked to prepare the embryonic Confederacy for Civil War while still holding office in the United States federal government.
This passage from The Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) -- the book that Grant completed just days before his death in 1885 -- is a great example of how lucid and readable General Grant's writing was and still is, even 140 years later.

Of course the verdict was an open one. There is no evidence to adduce; and whether or not the man himself committed the murders there is now none to say. The folk here hold almost universally that the captain is simply a hero, and he is to be given a public funeral.
This part warms my heart so much. Even if the News Correspondent makes the more logical point of how the Captain could had some mania that became worse as the Demeter sailed, this doesn't matter to the people of Whitby.
In the original narrative standpoint the entire log of the Demeter was done through a single continuous flashback. For us, with the slow paced day by day schedule this log becomes a horrifying ordeal in which we see innocent men picked one by one by an ancient monster until the Captain's last fateful action of pure human hope. However, to the people of Whitby this log reads as one of the most bravest acts of duty that they have read for while.
The captain maintained his head high, and his hands steady even when he was filled with pure despair as he, although futile, faced a supernatural threat who was at the end seemly defeated by unbeatable faith. Even with the dead crew, even with the News Correspondent taking a more neutral stance, the people of Whitby (a town filled with ghosts either real or false) recognized the captain's sacrifice as it is.

"In DeGraffenreid, five Black women brought suit against General Motors, alleging that the employer's seniority system perpetuated the effects of past discrimination against Black women. Evidence adduced at trial revealed that General Motors simply did not hire Black women prior to 1964 and that all of the Black women hired after 1970 lost their jobs in a seniority-based layoff during a subsequent recession. The district court granted summary judgment for the defendant, rejecting the plaintiffs' attempt to bring a suit not on behalf of Blacks or women, but specifically on behalf of Black women. The court stated:
Plaintiffs have failed to cite any decisions which have stated that Black women are a special class to be protected from discrimination. The Court's own research has failed to disclose such a decision. The plaintiffs are clearly entitled to a remedy if they have been discriminated against. However, they should not be allowed to combine statutory remedies to create a new 'super-remedy' which would give them relief beyond what the drafters of the relevant statutes intended. Thus, this lawsuit must be examined to see if it states a cause of action for race discrimination, sex discrimination, or alternatively either, but not a combination of both.'
Although General Motors did not hire Black women prior to 1964, the court noted that "General Motors has hired … female employees for a number of years prior to the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964." Because General Motors did hire women-albeit white women-during the period that no Black women were hired, there was, in the court's view, no sex discrimination that the seniority system could conceivably have perpetuated.
After refusing to consider the plaintiffs' sex discrimination claim, the court dismissed the race discrimination complaint and recommended its consolidation with another case alleging race discrimination against the same employer. The plaintiffs responded that such consolidation would defeat the purpose of their suit since theirs was not purely a race claim, but an action brought specifically on behalf of Black women alleging race and sex discrimination. The court, however, reasoned:
The legislative history surrounding Title VII does not indicate that the goal of the statute was to create a new classification of 'black women' who would have greater standing than, for example, a black male. The prospect of the creation of new classes of protected minorities, governed only by the mathematical principles of permutation and combination, clearly raises the prospect of opening the hackneyed Pandora's box."
Thus, the court apparently concluded that Congress either did not contemplate that Black women could be discriminated against as "Black women" or did not intend to protect them when such discrimination occurred." The court's refusal in DeGraffenreid to acknowledge that Black women encounter combined race and sex discrimination implies that the boundaries of sex and race discrimination doctrine are defined respectively by white women's and Black men's experiences. Under this view, Black women are protected only to the extent that their experiences coincide with those of either of the two groups. Where their experiences are distinct, Black women can expect little protection as long as approaches, such as that in DeGraffenreid, which completely obscure problems of intersectionality prevail." - Crenshaw, Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex

Hope on Daendels Missing Remains !?
(...) It is in this same cemetery that General Daendels, former Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies, is buried. His remains had been transported back to Europe after being laid to rest far from his family (...)
Found this in a French book today. Tbh I wouldn't recommend taking this srsly bcs there are no evidence that proof this (unless we opened the grave lol) And so far from looking through French sources, most of them mentioned Daendels being born in Elburg?? Ok. But hey no offense, they are still very useful at the end so yeah ✨️
Well, so far; there are two sources that mentioned Daendels remains being missing so for now it's best we still believe this one sadly. I have a theory that if this is the case, perhaps Aleida ordered it to be brought back but she didn't tell her kids 🤨 I find it rather odd if she did that cus why wouldn't she told them?
Also js a reminder that Paul also once said that there are some inconclusive evidence of Daendels remains being transported to the Netherlands so maybe this could be one of them he's talking about 🧐
(...) Over time, a number of inconclusive pieces of evidence have been adduced regarding the transfer of Daendels' remains to the Netherlands.
Yeah that's all for now. Oh n lastly I'm pretty sure the Daendels grave opening in 20th century is conducted bcs the descendants wanted to bring Daendels remains to be burried in Hattem imo bcs I don't think u can js opened ppl grave without their family permission. Thank you n have a great day, stay safe 🌙

And the Captain is bringing to the non-superstitious Yorkshire people the theme of madness once more. He was struck by some sort of mania, clearly!
Yet they still treat him as a hero.
Honestly, though the correspondent brings up the possibility that he killed everyone himself, the rest of the town seems to deliberately not engage with that line of thinking.
There is no evidence to adduce; and whether or not the man himself committed the murders there is now none to say. The folk here hold almost universally that the captain is simply a hero, and he is to be given a public funeral.
He is "simply a hero" and his sense of duty and determination is honorable and admired. The 'true explanation' for all the strange events is less important than the narrative of his log and what it reveals about his character. There's few people who think otherwise. And maybe that means that more of them are willing to believe a supernatural explanation than someone like Swales would lead us to expect. Maybe they're more willing to be understanding/forgiving about the idea of madness, and recognize that even if it wasn't the objective truth, his log is true to his perception of the events he went through.
Or maybe it ties in a little bit to exactly what Mr. Swales was saying about people preferring an admirable fiction to the reality of the situation. Maybe in their eyes the narrative of an honorable captain bravely persisting through these horrible losses and finally choosing to go down with his ship - maybe that's preferable to the idea of a madman whose delusions killed his crew and finally himself. Even if they believe the latter is logically more likely to be true, it's not the 'truth' they proclaim or adopt emotionally. Instead they deliberately choose to take the story at face value without digging deeper and potentially ruining it.
There's some interesting potential intersection here between treatment of madness in various places/situations as well, of course. The captain, whose tale is so moving, and is already dead so it can't do any harm to take him at his word and honor him. Jonathan, who is raving but also clearly very physically ill and impresses his carers with his sweetness and kindness. Renfield, who is clever and strong and has odd, offputting habits. The captain's audience of fellow captains who can easily empathize with him. Jonathan in a hospital, attended to by nuns who dedicate themselves to caring for the ill. Renfield in a mental institution that functions in some ways as a prison, presided over by a man who sees potential new discoveries in his patients and is eager to pathologize them... In the first two cases there is no sense of potential "threat" and a merciful view of the situation is easier to take. There's also no "professional" motivation, or at least in regards to the madness specifically.

The tender and compassionate side of the divine nature, especially the penchant for weeping, was often related to the Shekinah. The love-aspect of God was also related to the Shekinah which filled the Temple like Solomon's palanquin inlaid with love (Pesiqta di Rab Kahana, ed. Mandelbaum, 4; cf. Patai, 152 and 313n81). The Shekinah also represented the divine punitive power, as indicated by a Tannaitic passage which mentioned ten occasions on which the Shekinah descended for punitive purposes, and predicted another descent in the future in the days of the battle of Gog and Magog.(Aboth di Rabbi Nathan, ed. Schechter, 102. J. Goldin [1955], 140f.) The mixture of vengeful and compassionate traits of the Shekinah, Patai (153) discerned in the legends in which she took the souls of six exceptional individuals whom the Angel of Death could not overcome, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, who died only through a kiss of the Shekinah (TB Baba Bathra 17a; cf. Midrash Canticles Rabbah i 2[5]).
Moses, after his death, whether by a kiss of God or a kiss of the Shekinah, was carried on the wings of the Shekinah a distance of four miles to his burial spot (TB Sota 13; Sifre Deut 355). Since in the Zohar Moses is said to have given up carnal contact with his wife in order to be always ready to communicate with the Shekinah (cf. Patai, 153, 194), Patai suggested that a notion clearly stated in the Zohar was already present in rudimentary form in Talmudic times, that Moses and the Shekinah were like husband and wife. An interesting parallel was suggested by Patai between the Shekinah carrying her dead husband, Moses, to his burial place, and Anat carrying the body of her brother-consort, Baal, to his burial place on Mount Zaphon (Patai, 153). A possible parallel to this motif may be adduced from another source: An oenochoe (jug) of the Bibliotheque National of Paris shows a winged and armed goddess, no doubt Athena who was identified with Anat, carrying the body of a defunct male over undulations which may be either waves or hills (cf. Denyse Le Lasseur, 1919, fig. 126, p.336). Although there is nothing in the Iliad about such an episode, Le Lasseur opined (p.337) that there is no ground to rejecta priori the hypothesis of Athena carrying the body of one of her favorite warriors. The identification of Athena and Anat suggests that the scene depicts Anat with the corpse of her brother-consort Baal, rather than that of an earthly hero. See Plate XIII.
160-161, Song of Songs (commentary) by Marvin Pope

The plates don't seem to have actually been reproduced in the commentary, just referenced in text, though it has separately categorized line drawings that do appear? Anyway I looked up the paper the print was recorded as being from (Les déesses armeés dans I'art classique grec et leurs origenes orientates) and found it there.
#cipher talk#Judaism#Anat#Athena#Song of songs#Shekinah#Honestly it's a pet peeve of mine when papers reference a physical artifact and dont include an image#Not everyone has the same institutional access as you!!! Include the actual image!!!#I think images are under utilized in the papers I read in general

No, ma affidiamoci alle big company, che cosa vuoi che succeda... [bestemmio fortissimo]
"Cari utenti,
Sappiamo che da alcuni mesi il caricamento di file su Nextcloud per gli utenti Android non funziona come previsto: non è possibile caricare tutti i dati su Nextcloud, solo foto e video. Abbiamo ricevuto le vostre lamentele in vari forum, come il forum di supporto di Nextcloud , su GitHub , Reddit o altri .
Poiché la tua esperienza con l'app Nextcloud Files per Android è peggiorata, abbiamo voluto condividere la situazione. Google ha revocato un'autorizzazione critica per la sincronizzazione di tutti i file. Nonostante i numerosi ricorsi presentati dalla metà del 2024, Google si è rifiutata di ripristinarla, costringendoci a limitare il caricamento di file per milioni di utenti.
Il problema del caricamento dei file su Nextcloud significa che alcuni file multimediali, come immagini e video, possono ancora essere caricati dai dispositivi Android su Nextcloud, ma tutti gli altri no. E questo è praticamente un fallimento.
Google adduce come motivo della revoca dell'autorizzazione problemi di sicurezza. Per noi è difficile da credere. Nextcloud ha questa funzionalità fin dal suo lancio nel 2016 e non abbiamo mai ricevuto alcuna segnalazione di problemi di sicurezza da parte di Google. Inoltre, diverse app Big Tech, così come quelle di Google, la utilizzano ancora. La nostra opinione: il fatto che Google possieda la piattaforma significa che può e si sta riservando un trattamento preferenziale.
Nonostante i numerosi ricorsi presentati dalla metà del 2024, Google si è rifiutata di ripristinare l'autorizzazione, bloccando il caricamento automatico dei file su Nextcloud per milioni di utenti.
Per essere chiari: tutti voi utenti avete un client Nextcloud Files peggiore perché Google lo voleva. Comprendiamo e condividiamo la vostra frustrazione, ma non possiamo farci niente.
I più esperti di tecnologia potranno sicuramente utilizzare l'app store alternativo, come F-Droid . Ma per la nostra base utenti di circa un milione di utenti sull'app store, questa sarà difficilmente un'opzione.
Per motivi di trasparenza, di seguito abbiamo raccolto maggiori informazioni per aiutarti a comprendere il problema del caricamento dei file su Nextcloud e come Google stia abusando della sua posizione di gatekeeper.
Cordiali saluti, il team di Nextcloud"

I don’t go to fire emblem so I don’t know much but I read the snippet of your writing you replied to the post about strong queerplatonic relationships with and I thought it was lovely!!
Anyways as per the post asking you about your writing, what would you be most excited to talk about/share about your choices in your most recent piece?
—lea lesbianfakir
Ok 1) sorry it took me so long to answer, I have to be in a certain headspace for asks, esp when I know the answer is gonna be long and 2) sorry most of this probably won't make sense to you, personally 😭 this is a really interesting ask so ty for sending it but a lot of it goes into the Deep Lore
Also my feelings on the last thing I wrote are kind of meh so I'm gonna talk about a lot of some other recent things I've written instead
into the light
This headcanon was literally the reason I wrote the whole fic. For so long, Ive written both Byleth and Seteth as aspec, but I got to thinking about how fanon's idea of nabatean society is still rather human and modern despite their alien-ness, and wanted to do something Different. Seteth actually being rather allo by nabatean standards and ace by human ones is an idea that I love, and I think fits really well with canon. Like. Why are there not half-nabatean characters?? Surely their society wasn't that insulated. Surely humanity wouldn't have killed half humans off so thoroughly.
Here's some bonus conversational bits between Seteth and his daughter and Byleth and her mom that I'm fond of. For Flayn, it's because I relish any opportunity to write her as the adult that she is. For Byleth, it's because it's a conversation I've had with my own mom many times.
Adducent (fic is nsfw, but snippets aren't)
This one just means a lot to me. It was a really cathartic premise to write and I think the second chapter is pretty good. I wish more people read it because I think it's one of my best.
Smut fic is weird bc sometimes its so intensely personal that I really want people to connect with it. But you can't force people to read sexual content that contains stuff that they aren't into, but it's also not usually about the kink, it's about the emotions and self discovery. So it's this constant war in my mind between "please read this and See Me" and "I have to be rational and understand that you can't force that on anyone."
Anyway. Moving on.
Uncharted Waters
I will die on the hill that Flayn would not be purely excited to see her dad get with her teacher. I think, at best, she would be excited at the idea of it at first, but once she actually witnesses them Together a lot of uncomplicated, unprocessed feelings would surface.
I also feel like people tend to forget that she's like. A real adult. She fought in a war. Just because she hasn't had a lot of the modern life experiences that her peers have, doesn't mean she isn't one.
As the Sun Slowly Rises
I just like the banter in this one.
I've about hit the image limit, so I'm gonna reblog with the overtly nsfw ones. Thanks for giving me and excuse to ramble!! I'd been thinking about making a post like this for a while.
