Which Is The Bookshop For Queer People?!?!?!

Which is the bookshop for queer people?!?!?!

Hello !

The queer bookshop is "Les Mots à La Bouche" ! It's in Paris; it used to be in the traditional gay district of Paris (le Marais) but had to move so now they're in the 11th arrondissement. I really recommend it if you're in the area : you can ask the sellers any identity in any genre and they will have recommendations. They have a lot of historical books, political treaties, mangas, lot of stuff. The basement floor exclusively for art books, photography books and films ! They have a small section of french classics and a small section of books in english.

And if you walk 5 min, there's a café/bookshop specializing in lesbian & feminist texts called Violette and Co (the also have a general, gay, bi/pan and trans section, and they have trans stickers everywhere ❤️)

… a text I got just suddenly made much more sense. Thank you.

I remember, when I just started learning English, being SO dumbstruck at the concept of missing someone like i couldn’t comprehend what do y’all meant by “I miss YOU?????” Tf??? Wdym I miss you?? You’re the one that I miss??? I know it makes sense to you guys but before I was just like WTF?? cuz in french we say TU me manques-> basically YOUR absence is making me miss you/ you’re missing FROM ME.

And saying I miss you was like saying Je te manque in french which is like saying “you miss me” instead of “I miss you”

So I = Je, miss = manque, You= te

Oh so ->Je te manque? wrong! Tu me manques? Yes

And Tu = You, me (muh) manques = miss me (me is I in this context)

So does it means ->You miss me? NOPE! I miss you

See why I was losing my mind back then?

Tu me manques is I miss you

And it’s so mind blowing when you finally understand that french focuses on how the person’s absence is affecting you: you are the one suffering from the other’s absence, TU me manques -> your absence is making me miss you. Or the fact that you are not here is making me miss you (that’s how I explain it to myself lol)

But English focuses on how the speaker feel the person’s absence: I miss you -> I AM feeling your absence

I probably didn’t explain it right cuz now that I understand it perfectly it kinda blurs in my head and it’s like wait why was this confusing already?? Both make perfect sense??? ugh but I hope i got my point across 😭😭

Oh dans la série truc con mais fun. J'ai un nouveau téléphone dont le correcteur automatique veut corriger le mot "reblog" par "reblochon". Ça a fait son effet dans certaines conversations avec des amis... :')

Reblochon if you agree.
