Jing Zhiyong’s paintings

Y’all look at this set of Napoleonic playing cards I found by Philipp Otto Runge, early 19th century.

They depict figures from the Napoleonic era including famous military figures and women wearing really pretty empire style.

The first one is supposed to be Murat.

I was reading a book containing a collection of secular Polish poems from before 1500 for my thesis and most of them were all pretty serious - either love poems, odes or satires - but at the very end I found my favorite one:

“This is my rhyme: Warm bread with butter in it.”

I’m having a conversation with one of my friends and I ask him, “What defines you?” and he responded with, “Nothing. A definition excludes the possibility for change.”

This is one of the best responses I’ve ever received to any of my questions.

Nüshu (literally “women’s writing” in Chinese) is a syllabic script created and used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong County in Hunan province of southern China. Up until the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) women were forbidden access to formal education, and so Nüshu was developed in secrecy as a means to communicate. Since its discovery in 1982, Nüshu remains to be the only gender-specific writing system in the world. Read more here.
