The first recorded usage of the word “QUEER” used as a derogatory term for effeminate gay people was in a letter by John Sholto Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry to his son Lord Alfred Douglas in the late 19th C.

Gay Day at Disneyland is the largest Gay Pride festival in the world. The point is to go to the gayest place on Earth and reclaim the joys of childhood lost to homophobia growing up. And you wear something RED because you want to make yourself visible to the world and show everyone you’re happy and proud as you are.

I love it when I come across pages that describe plot twists that have never been adapted on any versions. Pip meets a stranger here.

Our hero went to school one hour a day, and his teacher slept through the lessons. No surprise that he “bramble-bushed” the Alphabet. A bramble is any rough, (usually wild) tangled prickly shrub, specifically the blackberry bush.

I never liked playing Truth or Dare. I always thought it’s an excuse to ask or do stupid crap.

A critical edition of a book is a regular edition of the book itself with scholarly responses to it and other information useful to better understanding the text. Thanks to a critical edition of Great Expectations I learn what a “miniature windmill” really is.

It is the story of how he rekindles his capacity for joy, hope, and relationships through painting and teaching art. the book challenges you to rethink your perception of blindness and what it means to truly see.

An imp is a mythological being similar to a fairy or demon. Imps are usually small and not very attractive. They are often mischievous rather than evil or harmful, much the same as fairies. In fact, they both share the same sense of free spirit and enjoyment of all things fun. Imps are lonely little creatures always in search of human attention.

I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguish’d, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space,
Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air.

Question to Jockum Nordström: Do you always complete the work you start, or do you sometimes leave work unfinished?
I think you’re in good shape when you have a lot of things unfinished. That way there is always room to go on with your work, somewhere to take off from. Still, I can’t leave a project before it has a little bit of a soul. It must have a soul before I leave it alone.

“Porky pie” in British English means a trivial lie, like in “he told a porky pie about eating his spinach.” Somehow I thought “porky pie” meant something else.
