Just so you know, Brasil is in the middle of a closed voting session that will be the first step on the process of the impeachment of our president Dilma Rousseff. This process has no legal basis and is, therefore, a takeover (or coup, if you will) to remove the rightfully elected president and cancel the votes of the people. All this is being voted and endorsed by corrupted politicians trying to get the spotlight out of their back and a mass manipulating media company.

Whoa, I didn’t realize that it was so deliberate, I honestly thought it was unconscious
Scary, scary.
This is why “Ladies Night” at bars is not, in fact, an example of ‘female privilege’ as men like to claim. The event is an opportunity for men to meet lots of inebriated women.

Monsters in the Margins
I recently had the opportunity to visit the Hieronymous Bosch exhibit, “Visions of Genius,” in ‘sHertogenbosch. I knew Bosch’s works before I became a medievalist, so when I began to encounter strange creatures in the margins of manuscripts, I regarded them with some familiarity.
Both Bosch and the earlier creators of these manuscript monsters, also known as grotesques, knew that the margins, both in life and in art, could be a dangerous place for medieval people. The forests and marshes that surrounded medieval towns were full of menacing animals and sometimes more menacing brigands, and the edges of the world were thought to be home to terrifying people with the heads of dogs or no heads at all, their faces strangely located in the center of their chests. These ideas were due both to a (very reasonable at that point) fear of the unknown and to the fact that European medieval life literally revolved around the word of God- Jerusalem is the center of most early medieval maps, and the further away one got from it, the more deformed things became from the perfection of God.
When you understand the thought process of the average medieval European, finding these strange creatures in the margins suddenly seems par for the course. Because so many medieval manuscripts are religious works, it only makes sense that such grotesques would appear the further away the reader got from the words of the text. I must say though, to modern eyes, some of these grotesques look more amusing than they do terrifying! My favorite has to be the square-jawed bird man in a hood.
