"This book has been slow going, but it is rich and fascinating. It is nice to linger on the pages. Evans-Pritchard has up to this point described the Nuer's esteem and reliance on cattle, how their cattle rearing occurred in an arid environment shaped by the monsoon cycle; and he has theorized how their material circumstances shape their ideas of time and space." — Mar 23, 2026 09:12AM

"So I've decided that I want to obtain a BA in English without going to school again. I've created a list of 120 books that are more or less representative of the history of English literature. First book? The King James Version of the Bible (no Apocrypha ;_;). I just got through Genesis (pretty stories!), Exodus (pretty story then rules), and Leviticus (just rules). Wish me luck!" — Feb 18, 2026 03:15PM

“Yes, Marcos is gay. Marcos is gay in San Francisco, black in South Africa, an Asian in Europe, a Chicano in San Ysidro, an anarchist in Spain, a Palestinian in Israel, a Mayan Indian in the streets of San Cristobal, a Jew in Germany, a Gypsy in Poland, a Mohawk in Quebec, a pacifist in Bosnia, a single woman on the Metro at 10pm, a peasant without land, a gang member in the slums, an unemployed worker, an unhappy student and, of course, a Zapatista in the mountains.
Marcos is all the exploited, marginalised, oppressed minorities resisting and saying `Enough'. He is every minority who is now beginning to speak and every majority that must shut up and listen. He is every untolerated group searching for a way to speak. Everything that makes power and the good consciences of those in power uncomfortable -- this is Marcos.”

“You have noticed that the truth comes into this world with two faces. One is sad with suffering, and the other laughs; but it is the same face, laughing or weeping. When people are already in despair, maybe the laughing face is better for them; and when they feel too good and are too sure of being safe, maybe the weeping face is better for them to see.”
