These #worms fell down from the sky, maybe, in 1672 Europe, and lived for another couple of days. However fantastic the #earlymodern story of the falling "Würmer" is, I do like the alien-freakish styled insects a lot. Zoom in and choose your favorite:

My annual Thanksgiving take is it's fine to take a break and enjoy being with your family on an almost-mandated government holiday without trying to make that say something positive about the American settler colonial project

read this beautiful poem!
I am so excited to share this poem and join the many many other Icarus poets. Here is my speculative ekphrastic "Flooded Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" which imagines Breughel's landscape altered by climate change.

Thank you @terrainorg.bsky.social!

ok, I have registered my objection. if anyone else wants to, it's [email protected]
Irritatingly, the recent New Yorker profile of Ruth Asawa says "[from 1949-1958]--among her most creatively fecund [years] -- Asawa gave birth to six children"

...which is _bunk_, Asawa and Lanier adopted two of their children, but I guess the wordplay was irresistible (no fact-checking??)

One very funny thing about the cone of shame is that if you get a soft opaque one for your puppy & she runs around in it at dusk it looks like the RCA dog went completely feral and ate the record-player from the inside out.

Good news: First review of the week!

Even better news: It’s @thehubble101.bsky.social on Alix E. Harrow!

“The dismissal of fantasy is compounded by the strategy of rhetorical containment in which novels in the genre by women are singled out.”
The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow
A critical discomfort with fantasy still remains a feature of public life.
