This Common Yellowthroat was quite curious about the big oaf pointing its big glass eye at him. Tantramar, #NewBrunswick, Canada September 2026 📸 #birds #COYE #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon #Z9 #Nikkor800pf
A mostly yellowish-green songbird with yellow throat and breast and a not-quite formed black face mask is perching on a bare tree branch. The bird is facing forward and to the right and has his head turned up and to the right while looking at the camera.

My favorite office decor piece. Goethe overnighted in a lot of places and it gets commemorated with a plaque. He never made it to Ohio though, hence the sign. 😆😆😆

I was obsessed with this show as a kid in Australia. I found the opening with the symbols being drawn on a chalkboard hypnotic. And then brooding Dr. Casey was equally enthralling!

It’s a very weird experience going back and forth (already very Heideggerian) btw the English & German. The feel is different: there’s a strange/wacky lyricism to the German.

It’s two in English: Verzeih! Forgive me! Gosh it’s powerful, mainly because we have gotten to so familiar with Castorp‘s inner workings.

Cathie Grimm @catgrimm.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
One of t most poignant moments in a novel full of them comes amidst a wacky calling of t spirits when Castorp utters one word upon seeing t vision of his poor dead cousin who, we feel as readers, he didn’t pay enough attention to. Castorp HAS changed/grown up after all. #TheMagicMountain

Yes most definitely: most famously in Perrault‘s Little Thumbling. A great fairytale „object“. I’ll check whether they pop up anywhere in Grimm. I think so but confess I’m not familiar with all 200+ of the Grimm tales.

Cathie Grimm @catgrimm.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
There are a lot of fairytale references, and the 7 obsession is part of that. (Also biblical of course).

Cathie Grimm @catgrimm.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
One very basic difference between Heidegger in German vs English is how noun and even compound noun heavy it all is. English turns these word lumps into prepositional phrases that causes them to loose some of their „uumph“ Seinsverständnis=understanding of Being #SeinundZeit #BeingandTime

The one from Oxford World Classics by Simon Pare. I've come across a few instances where the meaning seems slightly off, but am in awe of all translators: such difficult work! I'd like to comepare it to the Porter-Lowe one. She was so interesting!

Nietzsche did come to mind at same point too: I've just started my "journey" with being and time, I'll see if I can find the passage that reminded me of Nietzsche with whom I'm only superficially familiar. These first sections also seem to be echoing Kant's Critique of Pure Reason a lot.

In #TheMagicMountain #DerZauberberg Drunk Peeperkorn, very appropriately imo calls Hans a "SchwätzerCHEN", but in my translation they just say "blabbermouth" leaving off the diminutive "chen" which both belittles but also softens the insult to sth akin to "LITTLE chatterer/windbag".

Cathie Grimm @catgrimm.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Yes!! and the way Heidegger will raise the question is by proposing we need to go back to "noticing". (after some discussion surrounding the question itself, and "who" is asking it).

but considering we now live in a postliterate space, will we be able to actually do so?

"The very fact that we already live in an understanding of Being and that the meaning of Being is still veiled in darkness proves that it is necessary in principle to raise this question again." Getting ready for my @brooklyninstitute.bsky.social seminar on Heidegger's #BeingandTime. #SeinundZeit

It reminds of characters discussing attitudes towards illness and death in Magic Mountain. Romanticizing it versus the fact there’s nothing romantic about actual tuberculosis.

An Armadillo Arrives in … Ohio?
Traditionally found in warm climates, like the American Southwest, armadillos have been migrating farther and farther north, researchers say.

Just watched Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen, which was pretty good! Hugh Grant with a cockney? accent. Witty dialogue, good music, meta frame narrative.
