I wish I loved anything as much as George Elliot loved the word adroitly.

The ocean can be yours; why should you stop
Beguiled by dreams of evanescent dew?
The secrets of the sun are yours, but you
Content yourself with motes trapped in beams.

"...imaginative, heartfelt, oddball, emotionally sharp. A beautiful reminder that sometimes the wildest worlds are not built to help us run away. Sometimes they exist to show us what we are really running from."

The DNC autopsy is exhibit #8204059 that the Democratic Leadership must be changed and the party is completely ossified and unable to meet the moment right now.

Candidates, organizers, activists, and voters are getting it done, but top down they are cooked, including their big $$$ donors.

I very much like the King Crimson song "Matte Kudasai." There's something fine and euphonious about the way that 'Matte Kudasai' has the same meter as 'Wait a moment, please.'

I truly believe that these guys who go around to town council meetings and try to convince people that data centers and power plants aren't inimical to human life are going to go to hell. Like, they are truly soulless pieces of shit.

One singular pair of jeans arrived on my doorstep yestereve.
Though I brought the package inside, it lays unopened, and I remain timorous.

Tyler’s anecdote mentions pouring “over-hopped beer out of a florid can and into a stupidly shaped glass.”

And I wanted to note that back in the day men sold other men beer using ads like this one.

Tyler thinks goblets are stupidly shaped & effete, but Schlitz sold beer to men in 1911 like that.

Hadn't been to Barmouth since horrifying jr school trips (visceral memories of a grim hotel with pink candlewick bedspreads and carbolic soap) and it's actually... pretty lovely. Was expecting it to have suffered in the way of all small towns in recent years but, d'you know what? Pretty salubrious
