I live in the borders between. Total nerd & crackpot. Musician (electric harp, synth, etc.) interested in too many things: food, drink, nature, astronomy, history, languages, anthro-archaeo-paleontologies, movies (SFF-horror-comedy-arthouse), books, etc.!

A harp has strings. A harmonica does not. Sometimes slang is stupid.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

Oh, it’s okay to post a day late? Excellent. I was sorry to be missing Baba Yaga, as I don’t get back home until tomorrow.

Yep, that’s some drama! Very unfortunate for the workers, of course.

Blair Witch scared me so hard, it broke something inside. I saw it when it opened in theaters, and haven’t been able to experience the feeling of being scared by any movie since.

I won’t ever watch that one again, though.

Getting a crick in your neck is such a drag! I hope you can find something to help, because it surely does incapacitate you. I used to get them when I was younger, but at least I’ve been spared in my older years. So far.

If you’re going to go and use a word like “delectation,” I’m going to follow your account. And I even enjoyed the poem. Nice to meet you.

I harbor hopes that someday there will be a comedy film about Crowley and Yeats.

Ea-Nāşir's perfidy seems eternal!

Comic

Panel one. Stick finger singing, "Raindrops on rose/ And whiskers on kittens."

Panel two. Same stick figure holding pot and singing, "Bright copper kettles leave/ ...Flakes on my mittens!?"

Panel three. Same figure still holding pot and singing, "Hey, these are stone with a copper veneer!"

Fourth panel. Same stick figure has put down pot and is singing, "I've been bamboozled by Ea-Nāşir!"

Ooh, I love that movie! The trademark Howard Hawks overlapping dialogue feels so real.

A modest proposal in Chinese.

Jar of CHILD SHREDDED MEAT. Delicious Classic, it adds. Also Chinese text I unfortunately can't read.

Bumped right into this guy. Hey! You're handsome, I say. Wonder what you are. Google lens wasn't working, so I go to some object identifier I found on my phone. That'll do the trick!

Bagpipes.

This is bagpipes. 🙄

Your phone’s object identifier has a very particular set of skills. Those skills do not include identifying insects.

A nice circumhorizontal arc (informally known as a fire rainbow, which is a misnomer) over West Virginia captured by Christa Harbig!

It is an optical phenomenon belonging to the family of ice halos, so it is neither fire nor a rainbow.

$The image shows a circumhorizon arc (or circumhorizontal arc), an optical phenomenon resembling a fiery rainbow. It forms in a clear sky with cirrus clouds made of flat, hexagonal ice crystals aligned horizontally. These crystals refract sunlight, creating a colorful arc parallel to the horizon. Vibrant colors shine brightly against the blue sky, captured near North Fork Mountain, West Virginia.$

Did he happen to mention anything about what’s going on with the farm’s future?

That negative self-talk is insidious, and so easy. It’s a greased slope down to the slough of despond.
