Some really good ones in there. Including quite a few I’d never seen.
Watchmycroftismight:
This is a thing I saw when I was walking the path to the River of Souls (that’s a literal translation of the name, dramatic right) in Pirenópolis (the city/village I was staying in).
It just looks like it came directly from a Miyazaki movie.
Terrifying.

thole
thole.
To suffer or undergo. To endure, to tolerate, to put up with.
1922, James Joyce, Ulysses:
Seventy beds keeps he there teeming mothers are wont that they lie for to thole and bring forth bairns hale so God’s angel to Mary quoth.
Um vídeo com Nacho y los Caracoles
gentequeviene:
Falamos dos Nacho y los Caracoles esta semana. O disco que acabaram de publicar é uma beleza. Agora, que estamos no pé de um feriado prolongado, começamos a tarde de sexta-feira com uma sequência delícia do trio cantando e tocando nesse formato que alguns paulistanos descolados decidiram chamar de “intimista”.
Nacho y los Caracoles - Cantale.
google chat
I love how gchat is so democratic in who it selects from your email contacts to display. Anyone you’ve emailed with a gmail address shows up.
Some awkward connections of people who’ve appeared in my gchat listing over the years: a professor I didn’t get along with a guy I bought things from over the internet someone I applied for a job from (but didn’t get it)...

things I've learned very recently
Apparently “matrix” means womb.
APOPHASIS
Lying in my bed last night, I remembered this word, or rather the idea of this word.
I left myself a note to find in the morning: “defining something by what it is not?”
This morning, a bit of searching found it for me. Wikipedia explains: “Apophasis was originally and more broadly a method of logical reasoning or argument by denial—a way of describing what something is by...

Blue Canary in the Outlet by the Light Switch
Who watches over yooouuuu He’s your only friend. He’s not your only friend. But he’s a little glowing friend. But really he’s not actually your friend. But he—never mind, let’s not put too fine a point on it. He wants to be the only bee in your bonnet and that’s all that matters, right? You’re probably...

I want. Or want to buy for a friend. I hope they come out with some ones I like even more.
Two weeks ago, on the fourth, a friend and I went looking for sparklers but found them nowhere.

Oh well. Too late, too late.

When the music stops—when I can’t tie my bow tie, tell a funny story, walk my dog, talk with [my daughter] Whitney, kiss someone special, or tap out lines like this—I’ll know that Life is over. It’s time to be gone.
This was really moving. I’ve been talking about this topic a bit lately, fortunately in a hypothetical way. It’s good to see the topic broached in such a...
