books i read in 2024: babel, or the necessity of violence: an arcane history of the oxford translators' revolution
"For how could there ever be an Adamic language? The thought now made him laugh. There was no innate, perfectly comprehensible language; there was no candidate, not English, not French, that could bully and absorb enough to become one. Language was just difference. A thousand different ways of seeing, of moving through the world. No; a thousand worlds within one. And translation— a necessary endeavor, however futile, to move between them."

America likes black people in the spotlight to be smiling joyful eunuchs. Asexual docile creatures is what they expect us to be. Lord forbid you are a black person with a dissenting opinion

i love that crowley was about to pass out when he had to shot at aziraphale. i love that aziraphale couldn't come up with anything more threatening than "i'll never talk to you again". they're both idiots and down bad for each other and if yall think they'd fight each other yall r just dumb. if they'll ever go up against each other it's gonna end w both of them (but mainly crowley) shaking and crying and throwing up on the floor. trust me on that.
