这比粉红还可怕啊，太traumatizing了，感觉她简直是paranoid

dehumanization，比如蟑螂。以及我真的很讨厌这些词流传出去影响其他地方的人

港台这几年都出现了抵抗大陆流行语入侵的风气，林夕专栏也谈到过，认为没有必要。我个人觉得要做到语言完全不互相影响难度太高，但有时看到一些流传过去的流行语被滥用，我会惋惜它们作为一种捷径可能替代了原本更多样更真诚更本土的表达，或许不太科学但我确实觉得这是一种语言退化

“Mary’s accession to the throne thrust her into yet another nontraditional role: regnant queen. Mary was the first woman to claim the English crown since Empress Matilda did so in the twelfth century; unlike Matilda, she was the first woman to successfully hold the throne. In the intervening years a number of strong queen consorts had exerted influence over reigning kings, but not until Mary ascended to the throne did a woman have control over the realm in her own right. She ruled as a single queen, as her sister Elizabeth did after her, and also as a married queen, having decided to marry for the sake of producing an heir to the throne, like her father did before her. She would take on the roles of Virgin Queen, wife, and would-be mother, and she would usher in an unprecedented time period in the history of Great Britain, when a trio of female monarchs, Mary herself, her successor Elizabeth I, and Mary, queen of Scots, would rule England and Scotland for half a century. Yet Mary, as the first of these three remarkable rulers, had no role model (except perhaps her grandmother Isabel), and no precedent to follow in defining her untraditional role as queen regnant of England. She was the first woman to take the political helm of her kingdom at a time when the nature of female rule created ambiguous feelings at best. Yet she successfully established herself as both king and queen of England; negotiated with the Emperor Charles V for her own marriage with his son Philip of Spain, the highest ranking Catholic prince in Europe, in a marriage treaty that gave Mary autonomy; and reintroduced Catholicism to England. In spite of her reputation for failure, it has been said by one historian that her only real failure was in dying too soon and by another that her only failure was in dying without having produced a child of her own to follow in her footsteps. What if Mary’s two false pregnancies had resulted in the birth of a living child? This is another liminal moment in Mary’s life—had she been succeeded by a Catholic Tudor heir, her reputation as “Bloody” might not have had the staying power that it has had.”

My precious memories and public records about things most important to me were both destroyed. They vanished. At several times. Unpreventable and I can do nothing.

One thing I found really interesting: I still hold the assumption that North Koreans are probably brainwashed and can be actually good people. But I can’t think the same about people in my country. Maybe it’s because I was bullied by them. My friends were bullied and threatened by them. And the saddest thing is people closest to me could be one of them.

Heads up that a clip from "Bermondsey" (episode of Thirty Minute Theatre) featuring one of the very first gay kisses on TV in the UK has been uploaded to Youtube recently!!! The full play is only available to view at the BFI I believe.

为什么所谓“洁癖”的人可以这么恶心 就像那篇“共用毛巾”的文 评论都觉得不可思议 但我家就这样啊

给翻看旧帖的自己：千万不要再回国。记得这次回国回家的遭遇有多难受。身体+精神+work受到多少影响。

So many bad 孔雀舞 memories.

It was a privilege to welcome all the guest stars of Inside No. 9: Stage/Fright to Wyndham's Theatre, each lighting up the stage with their own brilliance.

A huge thank you to every iconic name who stepped Inside No. 9.

Many many gifs of James Wilby and Rupert Graves reunited at the BFI Flare 2024.

最近扫Ze的ao3 tag

简中人喜欢借这机会夹带点对此地的讽刺

英语人有讽刺美国和乌国的，有讽刺俄国和观众的

俄语人恨透了Ze

乌语人真的很喜欢那位顾问

Ficbook上有个人恨泽却在扫tag......

To think Bermondsey was more than ten years before Maurice!
