“The memories which two people preserve of each other, even in love, are not the same. […] For between us and other people there exists a barrier of contingencies.” (Proust, Time Regained)

"The perverse person does not ignore the Law, he defies it. His satisfaction lies less in the act itself and more in making the Other tremble, revealing the Other's anguish." Lacan, J. (1966). Writings (Kant with Sade).

"We feel less confined attaching our abyss to that of someone else, rediscovering the community of the demolished, finally breaking from our own isolation... If God exists, he can only be made up of those friends, living or dead, who also have known the abyss." @autreauxp.bsky.social

Good home care still represents the ideal of early childhood education. As an educator and trainer, the stay-at-home-mother represents the elite of early childhood education, the best that a child can get in the first years of life: the experience of time, dignity, closeness and being loved.

It could be worse, my dear, it could be worse. The world is ending—this was always true. But that could be a blessing, not a curse. @aestallings.bsky.social

You don't speak of dreams as unreal. They exist. They leave a mark behind them.
