(Reasons We're Probably Not) Dating Or In A Relationship Thread NSFW • Page 862

Stuff like this does kind of happen. I once ended up asking a girl out while were on a train together. I was sure I caught her checking me out on the first train of the journey and then I ended up sitting across the aisle from her on the second one. I opened the conversation by accusing her of stalking me. I mean, I don't know if that's your definition of charming, but it resulted in a date?

Moral of the story is, look cute on a train and get caught checking your charming target out. The rest will follow.

 

It was dark...

 

goddammit Jacob, did you reverse Bukowski her?

 

There's a chance, but there's no way to know for sure.

 

you'd think he'd leave some sort of gertrude stein behind or something

 

jesus christ cups

 

Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 – July 27, 1946) was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector. Born in the Allegheny West neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and raised in Oakland, California, Stein moved to Paris in 1903, and made France her home for the remainder of her life. She hosted a Paris salon, where the leading figures of modernism in literature and art, such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, Ezra Pound, and Henri Matisse, would meet.[1]

In 1933, Stein published a quasi-memoir of her Paris years, The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, written in the voice of her life partner[citation needed] Alice B. Toklas, an American-born member of the Parisian avant-garde. The book became a literary bestseller and vaulted Stein from the relative obscurity of the cult-literature scene into the limelight of mainstream attention.[2] Two quotes from her works have become widely known: "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose"[3] and "there is no there there", with the latter often taken to be a reference to her childhood home of Oakland, California.

Her books include Q.E.D. (Quod Erat Demonstrandum) (1903), about a lesbian romantic affair involving several of Stein's female friends, Fernhurst, a fictional story about a romantic affair, Three Lives (1905–06), and The Making of Americans (1902–1911). In Tender Buttons (1914), Stein commented on lesbian sexuality.[4]

Her activities during World War II have been the subject of analysis and commentary. As a Jew living in Nazi-occupied France, Stein may have only been able to sustain her lifestyle as an art collector, and indeed to ensure her physical safety, through the protection of the powerful Vichy government official and Nazi collaborator Bernard Faÿ. After the war ended, Stein expressed admiration for another Nazi collaborator, Vichy leader Marshal Pétain.[5] Some have argued that certain accounts of Stein's wartime activities have amounted to a "witch hunt".[6]
