“Un homme qui proclame ou donne à entendre qu’il a des bonnes fortunes est rarement cru sur parole, ou, si on le croit, il encourt le blâme ; au contraire, un homme qui s’en cache passe pour en avoir plus qu’il n’en a, et l’opinion générale de sa discrétion lui en vaut de nouvelles. Il en est de même d’un homme savant : s’il affecte de montrer ce qu’il sait, on en doute, et il passe seulement pour superficiel ; s’il faut ensuite reconnaître qu’il sait en effet, on prononce le mot de pédant. Le vrai mérite en tout genre, ubi est, non potest diù celari [là où il existe, il ne peut rester longtemps caché], on le découvre tôt ou tard, et rien ne peut le discréditer, qu’un vain empressement à le montrer.”

Lord Chesterfield, Lettres à son fils, trad. Amédée Renée, 1774.

guys. guys please listen. i am gently cupping your face as i say this.

the scarf is not "hijab". hijab is not a headscarf. hijab is modesty. it means to cover. the hijab is to cover your body. not just women wear hijab. men have their own hijab too. hijab is the concept of modesty, it does not just refer to a random scarf on your head.

do not call a headscarf a "hijab" for non muslim women who wear them, especially if they are not living a modest lifestyle. hijab is for every person who is muslim, whether it's for a man or a woman or whatever else. it does not refer to the scarf. the scarf is just a small part of what "hijab" is. hijab a concept, not an object.

Despre efectul Dunning-Kruger

“Upload pe AMAZON”, “indie author”, “traditionally published author”, “digital marketing”, “social media advertising”, “daily prompt”, “SEO”, sau “CEO”… sunt termeni care produc o mulțime de confuzii. De aceea, este important să ne documentăm și să ne actualizăm cunoștințele cât mai des. “Indie author” nu are legătură cu India, ci este diminutivul lui “independent author”. “Un autor independent…

Antonio Corradini: Modesty (1752)

Narcisse et son énième show grotesque.

Par Nanouche « Nous devons accepter de nous débarrasser pour de bon de réflexes, d’habitudes, d’un langage qui sont aujourd’hui notre handicap, adopter une posture résolument plus claire de modestie, d’écoute et d’ambition ». C’est l’hôpital qui se moque de la charité. (more…) “”

This poll is asking whether you will put back an item specifically because it shows more or less than you want it to, not just because you don't care for the style/etc. For example, a skirt that you like but that doesn't show off your legs enough, or a top that you like but the neckline is lower than you're comfortable with.

We shouldn't have to dress modesty to be respected.

Ooops...

My latest hobby is to find the most ridiculous ways to censor risky parts of my artworks. I had wayyyy to much fun drawing that peach for this silly joke.

Comic is inspired by a scene from the first episode of "Domina". Watched it because of Tom Glynn-Carney and I wasn't prepared to get booty flashed before even half of the episode was over.

My first thought once my brain had rebooted (no pun intended) was "yeah that´s totally something Aegon would do."

can we talk about the sexualization of nuns and how odd that is? like sexualizing a group of women who literally dedicated their entire life to modesty just feels so wrong, i'm not a religious person but sexualizing people who literally try their hardest to stay away from that is not okay T-T /gen
