  1. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    Falling in love is the one illogical adventure, the one thing of which we are tempted to think as supernatural, in our trite and reasonable world. The effect is out of all proportion with the cause. Two persons, neither of them, it may be, very amiable or very beautiful, meet, speak a little, and look a little into each other’s eyes. That has been done a dozen or so of times in the experience of either with no great result. But on this occasion all is different. They fall at once into that state in which another person becomes to us the very gist and centrepoint of God’s creation, and demolishes our laborious theories with a smile; in which our ideas are so bound up with the one master-thought that even the trivial cares of our own person become so many acts of devotion, and the love of life itself is translated into a wish to remain in the same world with so precious and desirable a fellow-creature.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1877-02), “On Falling in Love,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 35

  3. CW: re: Thread, kink, bisexuality, self-acceptance, love, personal growth

    I've realized (and what a lot of you all on this site maybe tried to tell me or hoped that I would come to in my own time) that #queerness encompasses so much more than just who I may or may not have slept with. That can be part of it! But it's a fully lived experience. It's more expansive than that. A straight person would not have gone through the inner struggles that I have, whether that was teenage me feeling a confusing mix of #elation and #shame around certain young women friends that I can now identify as #desire and #infatuation or adult me wrestling with certain questions or who I am and who I could be or could have been. Maybe these experiences aren't the idealized images of queerness we see in the media, but they are my experience of my own #queer and #bisexual identity. They are part of the queer experience because I am queer. They are part of the bi experience because I am bi.

  8. Apple Maps z opiniami ekspertów – m.in. Michelin Guide, The Infatuation i Golf Digest

    Apple wprowadza do aplikacji Mapy Apple opinie, oceny i rekomendacje od uznanych ekspertów, takich jak Michelin Guide, The Infatuation i Golf Digest.

    Dzięki temu użytkownicy łatwiej znajdą najwyżej oceniane restauracje, hotele i pola golfowe.

    Można już przeszukiwać Mapy pod kątem restauracji z gwiazdkami Michelin, odznaczeniami Green Star czy Bib Gourmand, a także hoteli z wyróżnieniem Michelin Key. Obecnie funkcje te dostępne są w USA, ale planowane jest ich rozszerzenie na kolejne kraje.

    Na kartach miejsc pojawiają się teraz: odznaczenia, opisy oraz zdjęcia od partnerów. W wybranych hotelach możliwa jest rezerwacja bezpośrednio z poziomu Map, a wkrótce dojdzie także opcja rezerwacji stolików (przez Michelin) i tee time’ów na polach golfowych (przez Supreme Golf).

    Mapy Apple zyskują też gotowe przewodniki tworzone przez ekspertów – Michelin, The Infatuation oraz Golf Digest – dostępne bezpośrednio w aplikacji.

    To są bardzo dobre wiadomości!

    Jeśli jesteście ciekawi, jak wygląda rynek kawy wysokiej jakości lub gastronomia w ramach HoReCi — zapraszam do mojego drugiego podcastu „Kawa. Bo czemu nie?”.

  9. A quotation from Dante

    Then I attempt to ease my own malaise,
    and thus death-pale, fatigued and torn apart,
    I go to glimpse you, hopeful I’ll be whole.
    And if I lift my eyes so I can gaze,
    a seismic shaking starts within my heart
    that chases from my pulse my very soul.
     
    [Poscia mi sforzo, ché mi voglio atare;
    e così smorto, d’onne valor voto,
    vegno a vedervi, credendo guerire:
    e se io levo li occhi per guardare,
    nel cor mi si comincia uno tremoto,
    che fa de’ polsi l’anima partire.]

    Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) Italian poet
    La Vita Nuova [Vita Nova; New Life], ch. 16 / Sonnet 7, ll. 9-14 (c. 1294, pub. 1576) [tr. Frisardi (2012), ch. 9]

  10. A quotation from Dante

    Over and over in my mind preside
    the dark and somber moods Love puts me through.
    Self-pity broods, so I have often cried,
    “Alas, do other people feel this too?”
     
    [Spesse fiate vegnonmi a la mente
    le oscure qualità ch’Amor mi dona,
    e venmene pietà, sì che sovente
    io dico: «Lasso!, avviene elli a persona?»]

    Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) Italian poet
    La Vita Nuova [Vita Nova; New Life], ch. 16 / Sonnet 7, ll. 1-4 (c. 1294, pub. 1576) [tr. Frisardi (2012), ch. 9]

  11. A quotation from Dante

    Whatever good that Nature can reveal
    is hers — she’s beauty’s touchstone on review.
     
    [Ella è quanto de ben pò far natura;
    per essemplo di lei bieltà si prova.]

    Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) Italian poet

    La Vita Nuova [Vita Nova; New Life], ch. 19, Canzone 1 (c. 1294, pub. 1576) [tr. Frisardi (2012), ch. 10]

  12. A quotation from Dante

    The moment I saw her I say in all truth that the vital spirit, which dwells in the inmost depths of the heart, began to tremble so violently that I felt the vibration alarmingly in all my pulses, even the weakest of them. As it trembled, it uttered these words: Ecce deus fortior me, qui veniens dominabitur mihi [Behold a god more powerful than I who comes to rule over me].
     
    [In quello punto dico veracemente che lo spirito de la vita, lo quale dimora ne la secretissima camera de lo cuore, cominciò a tremare sì fortemente, che apparia ne li menimi polsi orribilmente; e tremando disse queste parole: «Ecce deus fortior me, qui veniens dominabitur michi»]

    Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) Italian poet
    La Vita Nuova [Vita Nova; New Life], ch. 2 (c. 1294, pub. 1576) [tr. Reynolds (1969)]

  15. It's time for the song of the day! Today is a creepily romantic song by Aqualung. You probably know it, it's strange and beautiful. One of those songs that scratches my brain tentacles. What do you think?

  16. A quotation from Watterson, Bill:

    «
    HOBBES: First, your heart falls into your stomach and splashes your innards. All the moisture makes you sweat profusely. This condensation shorts the circuits to your brain, and you get all woozy. When your brain burns out altogether, your mouth disengages and you babble like a cretin until she leaves.
    CALVIN: That’s love?!?
    HOBBES: Me…
