both big fish and little fish are preyed upon by humans! The way that Brueghel renders the fish is really weird, though---kind of like empty sacs with no bones or viscera, their whole interiors are just an endless appetitive hole

like, when I think about Neko Case as a songwriter, it's more "here's a song about birds warning you that you're going to die" and less "I love you" (but I do like Wreck a lot)

a surprise for me on the recent Neko Case album: its gorgeous main single ("Wreck") is, unlike Calling Cards, a fairly straightforward love song, which is not really her thing. There's love songs in her corpus but they are mostly pretty slant

One time, at a conference in Philly, I had a mild but pressing medical situation. And I learned that no Uber will take you directly to an urgent care(for perhaps understandable reasons). And I then experienced the TRUE abjection of having to ask for an Uber to....the PF Changs next to an urgent care
