    My dearest Karolina:
    I must start my missive with a confession. I did not know you had a podcast and nearly skipped past this video thinking it would not be interesting. I apologize, since I could not have been more wrong.
    The tea was delicious and piping hot. Speaking as a latino, I relished in this historic chisme. My heart soared and sank; I audibly gasped. It was, as the kids say, a mood.
    I thank you for these moments of leisure that made my cooking of minced meat and rice so much more enjoyable and fruitful. I will be sure to seek out past and future episodes.
    Yours in interaction,
    Ricardo

    @SplatterInker 10 месяцев назад +199

    For context r.e. Shelley... he's saying TO HIS LEGAL WIFE that she has no claim to him or his only because he loves someone else. He's essentially saying I'm your husband, you have to do what I say, and I say stop bothering me and claiming I owe you stuff.
    Forgetting, of course, that she is IN FACT owed stuff by virtue of being his wife. She could literally sue him for not maintaining her. And playing up one's love and affection was precisely what a woman petitioning her husband to step up did.
    So he's essentially trying to get out of looking after her and the kids

      Also probably worth noting that Harriet committed suicide. Then Percy, the huge dumbass, drowned at the age of 29. A fitting end to an historical fuckboi if you ask me.
      Watching all this bullshit unfold no doubt influenced Lady Byron to raise Ada Lovelace to become a mathematician and stay the hell away from poets.

    Amazing point about how access to information is wonderful, but we all have an intuitive sense of justice and compassion. We each decide whether to act justly and compassionately, or not. We’re responsible for the outcomes of our actions, no matter how much or how little information we have.

    In Percy's defence - he was so much under the gun (as a teenager) that to this day Eton refuses to house a bust of him due to his political opinions. It wasnt paranoia. As flawed as Shelley may have been, he was honest - to a fault - and atleast Mary's relationship with him allowed for the degree of freedom & comradary that prompted Mary to have busted out Frankenstein as a seventeen year old. *time & place, Crazy Times. *edit: Shelley wasnt that much older - then died at 32, in Pisa, after a crappy number of years on prescribed laudanum, somewhat loosing it with Byron (who might be a more fitting subject for bummer valentine letters!). Cheers Karolina, I love what you do and what you speak upon - but had to mention this! 😢💐
    Not-withstanding, Mary chose that freedom & comraderie of her own accord - and we are all the better for the insights that she brought to Press!
    Edit upon edit: re. Mary's insights into what we now know as Transhumanism & AI

      "Love Hurts" is a song written and composed by the American songwriter Boudleaux Bryant. First recorded by the Everly Brothers in July 1960, the song is most well known in two hit versions by UK artists; by Scottish hard rock band Nazareth in 1974 and by English singer-songwriter Jim Capaldi in 1975.

  • @TikoVerhelst
    @TikoVerhelst 10 месяцев назад

    24:11 it reminds me of a beautifull Dutch song called "Dat wij verschillen van elkaar" with the first two lines (translated to English of course)
    "We only differ from each other, in those thirty years
    that distance we always keep us from each other"
    ruclips.net/video/C2iDA78bf4k/видео.html
    It sounds cursed but it's beautifull;'
    "That we are different from each other
    Ìt's only in those thirty years
    That distance will continue to separate us
    You say you don't mind that
    But look at my graying hair
    That can't lead to anything anymore
    You say I'm the first man
    Who you can truely really love
    It is written on your face
    I know what you do see in me
    But dear child, make no mistake
    I really don't want to be your father
    Because this surely doesn't seem like anything?
    A child of barely eighteen years old
    You are so sweet, you are so sweet but inexperienced
    We really don't suit each other
    That we are different from each other
    Ìt's only in those thirty years
    That distance will continue to separate us
    But the feeling I experience
    That reveals itself in my gesture
    Don't let that mislead you
    You know very well that I like you
    And that from the very first day
    I surely would like to tell you
    That I love you very much
    And surely wanted to marry you
    I don't know how to explain it
    Because this surely doesn't seem like anything?
    A child of barely eighteen years old
    You are so sweet, you are so sweet but inexperienced
    We really don't suit each other
    There is certainly someone else
    With less a heart and less a brain
    Whose youth I certainly do envy
    That we are different from each other
    It's in those thirty years
    That distance will continue to separate us"
    Is the singer a p3do? I don't think so. It sounds more like a teacher or another authority figure, like a nurse, explaining how big age caps will not lead to anything good. With the "I'd like to marry you" line meaning they would say that, but never actually want that. Or saying "even if all of this is legal, and even if I want it as much as you do, than we still shouldn't do this" which I think is what makes the song and also the letter you read so beautiful.
    When you love someone so much you have to tell them you don't love them. (love having multiple meanings here)

      Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
