✦ From the Memories of a #Jewish Woman of Selanik: "We were living harmoniously, Greeks, Jews, Turks. In Salonika, we lived very, very, very, very, very, very well!" (Laure A.) #Harmony #Culture #History #Thessaloniki
a picture of a book text. The text says "Suetonius adds that, according to some reports, he said in Greek 'Kai su, teknon' (which Shakespeare turned into the Latin 'Et tu, Brute'. It literally means 'You too, child', but what Caesar may have intended by the words isnt clear. Tempest cites 'an important article' by James Russell (1980) 'that has often been overlooked'. Russel points out that the words kai su often appear on curse tablets, and suggest that Caesar's putative last words were not 'the emotional parting declaration of a betrayed man to one he had treated like a son' but more along the lines of 'See you in hell, punk'.
Once again loving this interpretation of Caesar’s last words

Did u know? If you find a rotting apple in your food purchases, don't bin it, put it out for birds. They'll love to eat its sweet, nutritious flesh & it'll provide essential moisture when water is frozen. Look at the peck marks after being put outside for only 10 minutes. 🤗🐦⬛🌍

I just looked at it on a map and you're right. Super embarrassing as my family is from there. My psychogeography is clearly all warped! 🤦🏻♀️
