If I'm hoping for something, is that your President will be distracted by a new shiny thing to collapse the world order with and decide what he got was good enough, or that my PM will get on his nerves and he'll decide to wrap things up.
From your keyboard to g_d’s ears.
how do we tell others about our inner worlds and how we pass down this kind of knowledge and how we can understand other people's strange experiences
I honestly think that’s what poetry is for, to the extent that it’s “for” anything. Not to be pretty or get another person to fall in love or into bed with you (although sometimes it is and occasionally it does). But to attempt to convey as sense of what our inner worlds are like and how they can intersect.
Anyway, I continue to be glad to see your pixels and read your thinky thoughts, Shir. All possible safety ~ma to you and yours.
Always good to see your pixels, Shir, but especially nice to get some true insights with them! Good stuff.
Has anyone seen/heard from Monty (gc) lately? I realized I haven’t, a friend was talking about Gentleman Jack and I was thinking of her
Poking my head for just a minute (I've just ended a zoom meeting, and the semester starts on zoom tomorrow, so there's stuff to prepare, but I had a minute on the computer with my Oh-I'm-So-Late-With-Them grading breathing down my neck but not literally on my lap), because I feel the need to report that we're fine, as fine as possible under the circumstances.
We've had non-stop alarms during the last twenty-four hours, but we're still in generally better shape regarding that than most other places. We're still hurrying to the local shelter each time, we're still losing sleep (I don't think I've had six hours total in the past two nights combined together), we're all cranky and tired and stressed.
But it could be so so much worse. We're as fine as possible in a reality that still seems like something out of the history books rather than what could be an actual everyday life.
Take care, y'all.
Thank you so much for checking in, Nilly. My words are inadequate in all of this, but I'm keeping you, Shir, and your families and loved ones close in my heart.
