I just finished my first re-read and I still loved it ❤️

If you're interested in reading Jane Austen and understand german (or french, because the graphic novel was drawn by a french artist) please give this one a try 😊

I've been looking for an amazing graphic novel of Janes Austen's Pride and Prejudice for years and I finally found it!

The art is stunning (artist: Auroreblackcat), every page is a masterpiece, and they did such a good job in adapting the story without leaving out too much.

I LOVE IT 😍❤️
German edition of Pride and Prejudice (Stolz & Vorurteil) by Jane Austen, drawn by Aurore. Background: Large Chesterfield pattern in dark blue. Instead of buttons at every tip, there is a something which looks like a flower with four petals in an even darker shade of blue. In the middle there is portrait of the daughters of the Bennett family, framed in a golden frame with leaves and flower like details. All od them are wearing white dresses with poofy ruffled sleeves, but they all look different. First woman top row: Light blue eyes, long wavy hair in blonde, tied together into a low ponytail with two face framing pieces left out. She's wearing a golden necklace and two white and light pink flowers on each side. Her waistband is yellow/golden, and so is the ribbon Next: Younger woman. Light blue eyes, brown curly hair, tied together into two pigtails with one pink bow on each side. Her waistband is pink, and so is the ribbon on her sleeves, lace on the neckline. Woman bottom row from left to right: Left: Brown eyes, brown curly hair put into a high ponytail with a few curly hair pieces framing the face. Blue ribbons on her sleeves and at her waist. Lace on the neckline. Middle: Brown eyes, blonde curly hair, tied into a high ponytail with a big pink-white ish bow, with hair strands framing the face. Pink waistband, tiny pink bow below the neckline. It looks like there is a bit of tulle at the sides of the neckline. Right: Brown eyes, brown hair tied into a ponytail. She's wearing a grey-ish hairband with white stripes. Grey stripes at her waist and sleeves. Her dress has three-quarter sleeves, which are see-through. Various watercolor images. First image (from top to bottom): Carriage drawn by a white horse, blue sky with white clouds, tree's and bushes at the sites and in the background. Second image: Three people walking. Two woman and a man. The left woman is wearing a blue dress, long white sleeves and a gray-ish bonnet with a big blue bow on the side and ruffles on the inside. It's tied together below the neck. She has brown hair and is smiling with her eyes closed. Woman in the middle: Middle aged, brown- gray ish hair, gray eyes. She's wearing an olive green dress (top part darker than the bottom part) with white details and a green bonnet with a purple flower on the and ruffles on the inside. She is holding a light blue parasol. She's hooked her aem into the the mans arm. Man on the right: Brown hair. He's wearing beige pants, an olive green vest, a black open coat, a ruffled neckline and a black topper. Third images: The same three people are walking. Blue flowers on the left, a bush and a tree on the right. Forth image: Woman sitting at a rocky riverbank waving two people (man and woman) who are walking on a bridge above the river. Still the same people as in the previous images. On the left and ride are hills full of greenery, like bushed and trees. Fith image: The same three people are walking on a mountain path. On the left side is a wodden fence. Sun is going down on the right side. Sixth Image: One of the woman is standing on a ledge. There is a small river flowing and a green riverbank on the left side.

She's still holding the same blue parasol from before. The carriage has a gray lamp on the side. She's saying "We'll arrive soon, the country estate is right behind the hill" in german.

She's saying "It is gorgeous!" in german. Three different water color images of a man and a woman in love with a red thread (golden or common thread in english) connecting the narrative/text bubbles. Even though there are three different images, they are connected and it's no clear cut between them. First image: A woman and a man are walking along a lake. On the left is a big tree, on the right is a huge country estate with many windows. Second image: A woman and a man looking at each other in the eyes with affection.

Various text bubbles on the page: Text one: "They felt great gratitude towards the Gardiners." Text two: "Thanks to them, they are now together." Text three: "Thanks to an unexpected trip during a wonderful summer in Derbyshire"

The world's richest 0.001% now control 3x as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity combined.

56,000 wealthy individuals have more than roughly 4 billion people.

Read that back.
Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds
Data from World Inequality Report also showed top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90%

Sadly, ME and Long Covid have taken another bright light.

Megan was creative, spunky, intelligent, kind, and beautiful. In the end, she was barely able to exist because of severe ME and Long Covid.

Please don’t let anyone convince you that viruses are harmless

FYI: Heard war diejenige, die Depp emotional und physisch missbraucht hat, aber männliche Opfer nimmt man ja gerne mal nicht ernst.
Bei Rassistin Lively geben die bisher veröffentlichten Dokumente nicht her, dass sie SH'd wurde und auch über andere Dinge gelogen hat, dass sich die Balken biegen.

Diese koordinierten Attacken gab es im Übrigen schon bei der Schauspielerin Blake Lively, die sich in e Gerichtsprozess über sexuelle Belästigung gegen einen anderen Schauspieler befindet, dessen PR-Firma e Kampagne gegen sie losgetreten hat. Auch das ist Beleg.
Auch bei Amber Heard war es wohl so.

The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts a young girl in bed. She hears "CLOP CLOP CLOP" noises. Panel two depicts the same girl with an excited expression. She thinks, "That must be santa on the roof!" Panel three depicts the girl smiling. Panel four depicts a possum on the roof in heels making the "CLOP CLOP CLOP" noises.

Twitter punishes you for replying to accounts that don't follow you, for getting muted or blocked, for not paying for premium, even for swearing. Every incentive pushes you toward being an anti-social, status-obsessed striver who treats basic interaction like a liability

It's genuinely miserable

The gray gentlemen in the old illustrated edition of Momo (written by Michael Ende) look so creepy!
But they are the manipulative and sinister villains of the story, so the design is quite fitting.
A big gray man (gray face,gray suit, gray bag) is smoking and smiling sinisterly while talking to a small girl in a big coat who's holding a big puppet wearing a red dress and red high heels. In the background are stones, lots of trees and lawn with tiny white wild flowers. Image from Momo written by Michael Ende Three gray men in gray suits are surrounded by smoke. The one in the middle is disappearing and turning into smoke. He's holding his head between his hands in distress. The man on the right is smiling with his eyes closed. The man on the left is smoking a cigar and exhaling smoke with his eyes closes. Image from Momo written by Michael Ende

A friend of mine told me that the current waitlist for admission into the inpatient child/teen ED unit is insanely long. They are not allowed to watch Wicked on movie days, but they can discuss the broadway show. Staff isn’t allowed to play her music and patients aren’t allowed to talk about Grande😶

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

The thing about CrunchyRoll’s enshittification is that normally I’m a big proponent of supporting official channels but if the money from subscriptions isn’t being used to pay talent and labour and the quality suffers as a result, then morally what’s the purpose of supporting those official means?

New blog! SECRETS OF THE SILENT WITCH is an exercise in executing familiar fantasy tropes in very engaging and refreshing ways, and no one exemplifies that better than its supposedly "overpowered" heroine Monica. Read my analysis here!
Secrets of the Silent Witch: An “Overpowered” Fantasy Protagonist Done Right
In my years of reviewing anime, I find I come back to a few recurring trends: I often catch myself critiquing shows where “everything is easy for the protagonist”, whether that means they’re alread…

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

Champagne Problems on Netflix..
Great romance, awful comedy. The two leads had good chemistry and I really enjoyed their scenes. The father/son conflict was handled well too, but everything else was meh.

The comedy in new(-ish) rom-coms is always a miss for me and I don't like that 😭

A few days ago I found the DVD of "Quest of Camelot", a childhood favorite of mine, on a flea market for 50ct.
I still like Kayley & Gareth individually and as a couple, and the villain was seriously unhinged with his eye twitch but very entertaining. The dragons were annoying tho.
