Chekhov’s stories are essentially plotless.
Mirsky wrote they are a “biography of a mood,”
and Chekhov himself hoped to write
with the objectivity of a chemist.

Glosa by Diane Seuss - Rattle: Poetry
He took to reading Chekhov late at night and studied up on Fox Talbot and calotypes.

Every once in a while I get angry at the Sudanese millionaire class esp. those who signed that port deal with the UAE in 2022. They have done nothing for Sudan's civilians during this war re: food + evacuations (at least not that I'm aware of) and set the stage 4 for the war early on.
