Sam the Eagle and Jean the Interpol Agent have got to be my favorite gay people.
what on earth has she done now
Starting a business with two separate bathrooms, except one of them has the symbol for alchemical antimony on the door, and the other, the symbol for alchemical phosphorus. If you ask the staff about it, they claim to understand your confusion, then lead you to a third, previously undisclosed bathroom with the alchemical symbol for potassium carbonate.

"huh. she's doing numbers, you know!"

"DOH-HOHOHOHOHOH!"

Edgar Allen poe is like ur sad alcoholic aunt whilst William Shakespeare is like ur uncle who thinks he’s cool & “down with the kids”
"True! — nervous — very, very dreadfully nervous"
Same, Poe, same.
Getting ready to write a rough thought process paper on how I’d teach Poe to middle schoolers is a trip because I remember reading these in middle school🤯 I guess things really do come full circle, huh?
the sluttiest thing a man can do is be good at performing shakespeare

when they say shakespeare is inmortal and eternally relevant what they mean is that he was making one brain cell jokes in the 1600s
ITS MARCH YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
Ophelia by Jean-Baptiste Bertrand (1872)
maybe i'm just a grumpy english major but i feel like a lot of the "lol people think shakespeare is pretentious but actually his plays are just dick jokes and swordfighting" posting can verge into "lol what if the curtains are just blue" territory. yes shakespeare plays are full of those things AND they are also profound and complex and thematically rich. people spend their careers analyzing them for a reason, actually. it's not just dick jokes all the way down. and sometimes people spend their careers analyzing the dick jokes. stop trying to pick one side of the dichotomy between high and low culture. it's both. it can be both.
Absolutely insane lines to just drop in the middle of an academic text btw. Feeling so normal about this.
