An isolate losing hearing and sight in the twilight of this incarnation. Embracing ennui.
Memories may be beautiful, and yet, what’s too painful to remember . . .

Felled by illness. This is definitely not #NorthJozi summer weather. This twenty-third month of 2025 . . . and now it would seem someone has been cocking up the order of the volumes on the shelves of the #LateImperialLibrary.

You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience. […] Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

Just when it seemed the political and media institutions of the United States could not get weirder or more debased and debasing . . . Someone wrote about who doing what to whom after they did what? In a mainstream outlet? Why? Why?!

Saturday morning, re-shelving at Gordimer, working through to Hardy, but all this will have to be redone before the end of 2025 to (re)integrate the books read in the past year.

Time for some late night shelving in the #LateImperialLibrary — keeping the local apocalypse at bay with Sisyphean alphabetising . . .

I came at her work askance, through the terrible medium of children's television. I have kept a Swedish banknote for 20 years because she is on it (as is the literary creation through whom I first encountered her name).

Afternoon thunderstorm with hail breaks over #NorthJozi, and pigeons take flight . . . while multiple helicopters ferry summit attendees back and forth across the city.

Translation is the game of making explicit many things while covering some others with a mantle of discreet elegance.

Thursday afternoon in the #LateImperialLibrary in #NorthJozi: rain is forecast, and much correspondence with one's subjects must still be done by imperious (sic) hand. Today the House of Fuller-Hallim celebrates the Heiress Apparent's age of majority.
