THIS is an essay about comity. @aselrod.bsky.social

That’s the worst part. The hate infected me. I am now petty, and cruel, and voracious for their suffering. I have no kindness to offer them, no forgiveness to extend, no love, and I still believe everyone deserves love. So I am a hypocrite. I spit venom, same as them. I want their suffering. I mock their dead. I’m still not sorry, but God, I am angry at that, and at them, and at myself, for the simple pleasure the suffocation of Lindsey Graham’s pathetic candleflame of life gives me. I hope he died in pain. I hope he died alone. I hope he understood, at the end, that everything he did was monstrous and vain, and felt every ounce of pain he facilitated on the bodies of others. I hope he is in hell, and I don’t even think hell exists. He has returned to the universe, as we all must, and he has left it a little worse than he found it, and I don’t think there will ever be an accounting of that fact.

For the most part, in this tropic whaling life, a sublime uneventfulness invests you; you hear no news; read no gazettes; extras with startling accounts of commonplaces never delude you into unnecessary excitements; you hear of no domestic afflictions; bankrupt securities; fall of stocks; are never troubled with the thought of what you shall have for dinner—for all your meals for three years and more are snugly stowed in casks, and your bill of fare is immutable.

“Monsieur, if a wife’s nature loathes that of the man she is wedded to, marriage must be slavery. Against slavery all right thinkers revolt, and though torture be the price of resistance, torture must be dared: though the only road to freedom lie through the gates of death, those gates must be passed; for freedom is indispensable. Then, monsieur, I would resist as far as my strength permitted; when that strength failed I should be sure of a refuge. Death would certainly screen me both from bad laws and their consequences.”

Fletcherism was deeply unpleasant in addition to being completely insane.

Although he acquired many followers, medical experts described Fletcher as a food faddist and promoter of quackery.[5][14] He was a key figure of the American "Golden Age of Food Faddism".[15] Critics described Fletcherism as a "chew-chew cult".[16] Fletcher's extreme claims about chewing a mouthful of food up to one hundred times until it had no taste in order to avoid illness is not supported by scientific evidence. He also believed that his mastication system could cure alcoholism, anaemia, appendicitis, colitis and insanity.[5]

Fletcher believed that his system could improve bowel movements; however, the bowel must have a certain amount of indigestible bulk to stimulate it to action.[14] Health writer Carl Malmberg noted that Fletcher's extreme diet of chewed food was almost a liquid diet that does not provide "even a minute quantity of th[e] necessary bulk". For this reason, Fletcher's system is potentially dangerous and may be responsible for "constipation of the most serious kind".[14]

Fool. No, faith; lords and great men will not let me. If I had a

Chapter 50. The important thing is that you have to have the son for it to work; you cannot cut off an entail without the permission of the person who benefits from it, and Mr. Collins isn't going to do it.

When first Mr. Bennet had married, economy was held to be perfectly useless; for, of course, they were to have a son. This son was to join in cutting off the entail, as soon as he should be of age, and the widow and younger children would by that means be provided for. Five daughters successively entered the world, but yet the son was to come; and Mrs. Bennet, for many years after Lydia’s birth, had been certain that he would. This event had at last been despaired of, but it was then too late to be saving. Mrs. Bennet had no turn for economy; and her husband’s love of independence had alone prevented their exceeding their income.

So true bestie

Austen makes Harriet an unpredictable character in my
eyes. She sets her up as a woman who is almost too kind
and naive, making her an easy target for Emma to take
under her wing. But it’s in a way that makes me beleive at
one point she is going to burst under the pressure. If
Emma is Regina than Harriet gives Gretchen Weiners!
