mycroftismight: 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.

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)...

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...
