Book Review: Opposites Opuestos

Opposites – Opuestosby Magda Garguláková, Ekaterina Gaigalova (Illustrator) 5 out of 5 stars There are many opposites in our world, and it is fun to compare and categorize things to make sense of what we see in every day life. Is something heavy or light? Is it curved or pointy? Is it loud or quiet, hard or soft, slow or fast, old or new? Continue reading Untitled

I just read a detailed account of the Bal des Ifs and I’d never realised how funny this event was when you don’t focus on Madame de Pompadour. All I was taught at school is that it was the masquerade ball in 1745 where Louis XV first took (public) notice of la Pompadour, but what I didn’t know was that the former royal mistress had recently died so there was a vacancy so to speak, and a lot of noblewomen showed up specifically hoping to catch the King’s attention. 

But he came dressed up as a shrub (a yew tree similar to the ones in the royal topiary gardens) along with seven other men in identical costumes, so no one knew for sure which one was the King. People always focus on how Madame de Pompadour recognised the royal shrub and talked to him, but what about the women who didn’t!! History is written by the winners but I want to hear about the women who doggedly danced the minuet with random shrubs hoping this one was the one. My book mentions that a determined noble lady followed a yew tree outside the room on a hunch, only to find that she had bet on the wrong shrub. This is what the shrub costumes looked like by the way, imagine stalking one all over the park of Versailles at night because you think his gait looks kingly and you are an ambitious noblewoman

I was rewatching Daredevil, and I'd forgotten what a funny little guy Matt Murdock is. He's like, "I can't kill anyone because I'm a catholic. I feel guilty about hurting people 'cause what's god gonna say?" And I just wanna take his hand and ask, "Matt, baby girl, have you ever heard about the Crusades? The Inquisition? The sexual abuse scandals? The Canadian Indigenous Residential Schools? The Catholic church's endorsement of fucking Hitler??? If god's been chill about all of that, you'll be fine for beating the shit out of human traffickers, cupcake."
