i think one of the hardest parts about having so many dietary restrictions is like.. eating out ever with my family. i have to pay so much money for a meal i have to dissect. why am i paying $5+ for a burger patty on a plate with some condiments? without the bun its not filling at all, i need 3. $15 for the bare minimum satisfaction of feeling full. fries are a toss up because even if theyre not battered with egg or wheat, theyre very likely using the same fryers as batter that IS allergic and chicken to boot! so do i risk it? do i pay nearly $20 for a meal of unsatisfactory meat on a plate and fries that will likely make me sick? or do i save my money, come home, and eat rice and beans for the 23940829302nd meal in a row and want to cry? my husband never eats at his favorite restaurants anymore because none of them have anything i can eat. for his birthday we spent $200 at a restaurant that didnt have a single allergy-friendly thing on the menu, so i just sat there hungry while they ate. it fucking sucks.

Fascinating background to Matthew GoodE's upcoming movie with Anthony Hopkins

Freud Museum London

The centrepiece of the room, and arguably of the whole museum, is the couch where patients were treated with the psychoanalyst’s ‘talking cure’. Featured in Financial Times House Museums series. [Aug 11, 2023]

From a very young age, Freud was a book lover. Sigmund Freud’s library in his study in London contains over 1,600 books. The library includes works from authors like Darwin, Locke, Feuerbach, Krafft-Ebing, Shakespeare, Goethe and Dostoevsky.

The History of Freud’s Library

“When I was seventeen I had run up a largish account at the bookseller’s and had nothing to meet it with; and my father had scarcely taken it as an excuse that my inclinations might have chose a worse outlet.” SIGMUND FREUD

When Freud prepared to leave his home in Vienna for London in 1938 it was unclear if he would be able to take his library.

He and his daughter Anna assessed it book by book. Almost one-third was taken out and given to a local book dealer. The rest Freud was finally able to take to London. This was largely due to help from Marie Bonaparte, who assisted the family in their escape. They were placed where they sit today: the shelves of the study in 20 Maresfield Gardens, London.

Freud had loved books from an early age.

In 1868, aged 12, he won a prize at school in the form of a book: Friedrich von Tschudi’s Animal Life of the Alps. He was bored by many of the texts in his his school’s library, though ambitious in his own reading. He tackled T.H. Buckle’s The History of Civilization in England as a teenager.

Just as Freud loved collecting antiquities, he had a passion for acquiring books.

He received them as gifts from friends and family, and gave them as gifts to loved ones. In the 1880s, while studying medicine, his library steadily began to grow. When Freud and his wife Martha moved to Berggasse 19, Vienna, his library grew more. He continued to collect books and, as his own works were published, he was sent more as gifts. Freud’s own works were not displayed openly on his shelves. Instead he arranged works by mentors, students and peers in the world of psychoanalysis, neurology and medicine.

But Freud’s library also stretched far beyond his professional life. Works of literature, by Shakespeare, Goethe and Schiller, lined walls, with books on ancient history, archaeology and religion also accumulating. In later years, Freud said he bought books faster than he could read them. During his student days, however, Freud often used public libraries to sate his appetite for books when money was in short supply. Writing to his friend Eduard Silberstein he says “I am gradually making up for my lack of knowledge of modern literature through our Union Library”, referring to the Reading Room and Lecture Hall of Jewish Students. This may explain why a number of books known to be loved by Freud are not in his library. Freud wrote about other writers and books not only in his own published works, but also in letters to friends and colleagues. It’s possible, therefore, to know what he had read even if the books themselves weren’t in his personal library.

When Freud and his daughter Anna finally packed up his library in Berggasse 19 in the spring of 1938, its fate was unknown.

The Nazis would have deemed many of the books to be at odds with their ideology, and were holding book burning ceremonies. But when the books, along with his collection of antiquities, arrived unscathed in London weeks later, the library was eventually re-assembled. The double room on the ground floor of 20 Maresfield Gardens was to be Freud’s study and library, laid out in much the same way as his consulting room in Vienna. Books were placed on the shelves, mostly in categories but not following any formal system. Freud was once again surrounded by his favourite food: books.

One of the things from the Paris airshow that's got me going: huh, neat. Is this odd little "unducted fan" originally a concept from the 80s, that to my memory worked pretty well then for improving efficiency, but the airlines apparently didn't care about it.

Kinda looks like a daisy of doom

Cause I'm trying to beat info about propeller governor mechanics into my head rn, this thing's got me very curious as to how it works.

Maybe I'll get to poke around in it one of these days and find out >w>

do you have like a chart of god's moral compass /hj but her morals are so interesting to me. deposes god the prequel to try to fix some stuff and then demonifies a random mortal for fun

YEAH. Her morals are so. Yes <3

On some level she's able to perceive and take issue with injustices [the whole heaven system she wanted to demolish] and can conceptualize that mistreatment in order to view it as 'wrong'. In that sense.

But also As A God she lacks what most would consider standard morals towards those with less power than her and struggles with humanizing them? Struggle not even being the right word for it 'cause she generally does not see it as a problem. She can understand their pain but looks at it more like someone would an injured or pitiful animal like. 'that poor deer is stuck in a fence. what a sorry thing' but the problem is the 'deer' in question is a whole person.

So... I broke the no-buying-nonessentials resolution but only because these looked like something out of a medieval painting. And I needed to make sure they went to a loving home 😅

I feel like we doesn't speak enough of those slightly shitty but entertaining museums we have across the world.

Enough about the Louvre, or the Metropolitan Museum of Art, let's talk about the Frietmuseum at Brugge, Belgium, with its wall dedicated to celebrities eating fries, and its shitty screenshot of Benoît Poelvoorde's interview by Konbini with him proudly stating: "The fry is inseparable from the mussel"
