"The DNVP, DDP, USPD, KDP, SPD, DVLP… it is a curse to to be a historian of Weimar Germany. absolute head fuck with all these political parties and transient coalition governments - it’s a miracle they’ve even got parliamentary democracy

anyway it’s my goal to read huge historical books just a) be a better history teacher, and b) stretch my brain and this book is doing the job! a pretty good introduction" — 10 hours, 25 min ago

Shukri’s Quotes

“I thought of beauty as of a constant effort to eliminate corporeality. I wanted him to love my body forgetful of what one knows of bodies. Beauty, I thought anxiously, is this forgetfulness.”
― Elena Ferrante, The Days of Abandonment
