    En #TIL dat het woord #gossip afstamt van de woorden 'God' en 'sibling'. En deze God-siblings waren *vrouwen* die godmothers werden bij de geboorte van een kind, wat uitmondde in bijeenkomsten waarin vrouwen de wereld om hun heen bespraken, wat later door mannen neerbuigend afgedaan werd als 'gossip', want vrouwen. 🙄

  2. I’m well aware of the gossip floating around the community. Honestly, I have zero patience for it. I see through the noise, and it just looks like projecting insecurities. Just a heads up: I match energy. Whatever vibe you bring my way, you'll never see it coming when I return it tenfold. FAFO. 🛑 #gay #ai #queer #gaychub #gaybear #ottawa #gaychubby #gossip #fafo

  3. Noto un certo disinteresse per la decisione di Harry e Meghan di tornare a vivere in UK.

  4. New York Times: After 31 Years, a Quirky Gay Gossip Website Shuts Down. This link goes to a gift article. “At around 5 p.m. on July 30, one day ahead of schedule, the DataLounge, a long-running online forum that became a gathering spot for (mostly) gay men, went dark. Just like that, tens of millions of posts spanning more than three decades simply disappeared.”

  5. Hopefully Perez Hilton's motivation for his "live incident" the other day was looking back on his life and realizing what a flaming piece of garbage he's been who tried his best to ruin the lives of numerous women whose chief crime was just being well known. I will always despise the man.

    As somebody who was an active cutter for nearly a third of my life, I want to have sympathy for somebody going through an obvious crisis, but I simply can't in the case of one of the most nakedly evil people to ever serve in the nakedly evil profession of celebrity gossip columnist/"reporter"

  6. Es hat was von einem ungemein unterhaltsamen "Bassena-Tratsch", dem sich eine halt auch nur schwer entziehen kann. Speziell wenn sie über Promis tratschen wie Marlene (Dietrich) und "ihren Mann" (Jean Gabin).

  7. A quotation from Horace

    To go on with my advice (that is, supposing
    You need advice from me): Be careful about
    The things you say and the people to whom you say them.
    Avoid the man who asks too many questions.
    No question but he’ll be a teller of tales;
    An ear that eager can’t keep a secret for long,
    And once a word slips out it won’t come back.
     
    [Protinus ut moneam (si quid monitoris eges tu)
    quid de quoque viro et cui dicas, saepe videto,
    percontatorem fugito: nam garrulus idem est,
    nec retinent patulae commissa fideliter aures,
    et semel emissum volat irrevocabile verbum.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 18 “To Lollius,” l. 67ff (1.18.67-71) (20 BC) [tr. Ferry (2001)]

  8. Kevin's Limerick of the Day

    Boning Up

    The old archeologist Bert
    Was feeble but rather alert
    He said “It’s no toss-up”
    “I never could gossip”
    “I have bones about digging up dirt”

  9. Kevini's Limerick of the Day

    Doing Dirty

    A gossip columnist longs
    For dirt to sing sad songs
    She says what she does
    Is OK because
    She’s writing another one’s wrongs
