花言葉 Language of flowers

花言葉の起源。

“18世紀 花言葉ビクトリア朝時代。

花言葉への関心が高まったその起源は、オスマン帝国時代にコンスタンティノープルの宮廷のチューリップに執着したことにあるそうです。

18世紀前半、植物学への関心の高まりと同時に、秘密のコミュニケーション手段として花が使用されました。

花と象徴的な定義を関連付けた最初に出版されたリストはジョゼフ ハマー -パーグストールの『花辞典』（1809年）であると思われるが、最初の花言葉辞典は1819年にルイーズ・コルタンベールがマダム・シャルロット・ド・ラ・トゥールというペンネームで執筆した『Le langage des』とされる。”

どこかの誰かが勝手に決めたことな���で、今に伝えられている花言葉を暗黙の共通言語にしなくても良いと思います。

悪い意味を持たされた花に

罪は無い。

To Reşid Mehmed Pasha, Kütahı in Athens

Fuck your faith and your Muhammed

What do you think you’re doing cuckholds….Don’t have no shame asking us to negotiate with a kodja shit sultan.

Mehmedite?

Let me shit on him, and your vizer, and that Jew Silihtar Boda, that bitch

If I live, I will fuck them, and if I die, they will fart on my dick.

it is imp to remember that this is not about religion and the ethnic cleansing of artsakh proves this. all oppressive regimes are connected regardless of religion and that is why azerbaijan and israel have good relations. another example is saudi arabia having good relations with america and israel while also killing other muslims in yemen.

interestingly, like israel, saudi also uses religion to gain credibility (recently got holy mosque imam to give statement condemning boycotts and encouraging muslims to not be involved in the situation in palestine) and recruit muslim supporters from all over the world, while simultaneously killing/imprisoning muslim critics of the kingdom.

similarly, israel sells itself as a safe haven for jews and convinces jews around the world to migrate to israel while also simultaneously criminalizing antizionist jews all over the world, even suggesting that theyre not 'real jews' (reminiscent of takfirism which is a core part of saudi wahabi ideology) [ fun fact: the house of saud came into power in arabia with help from the british, just like the zionists in palestine! ]

oppressive regimes are directly connected and mirror each other in several ways. this is why liberation and resistance movements need to unite and work together across the world

Zeyrek Çinili Hamam, Istanbul, Türkiye,

In Turkish, “çinili” translates to “tiled bath house.”

Mrs Koza Gureli Yazgan acquired an abandoned hamam in Istanbul’s historic yet overlooked Zeyrek district in 2010.

While freshening the place up, she kept unearthing priceless artifacts from Ottoman, Byzantine, and Roman times, soon discovering fragments of more than 3,000 vivid turquoise-blue ceramic tiles. More than 10,000 such tiles once adorned the building’s interior until a Parisian dealer sold the tiles to museums and private collectors around Europe as the hamam��sat dormant.

After more than 13 years of conservation, which involved restoring the tiles and wall paintings dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries, Mrs Gureli Yazgan is gearing up to reopen Çinili as a contemporary art venue on September 30.

A museum dedicated to Byzantine cisterns will occupy the lower levels, which feature newly uncovered wall carvings of boats suspected to have been made by slaves. When the baths aren’t offering full-service spa services, they’ll host a rotating art program that glimmers under the domed roof’s array of crescent-shaped skylights.
