“It is difficult/to get the news from poems/yet men die miserably every day/for lack/of what is found there."
- William Carlos Williams
It just seems so ... apathetic.

Plus, the Wife and I just watched "Oh. What. Fun." with Michelle Pfeiffer, and we were horrified by how the family treated her - I wanted her character to torch the entire house with them inside!

Guess 'tis the season to disparage the moms and grandmas!

is zero redemption. The kids don't change, the husband doesn't change, the mom just continues to suck it up, with no real resolution of their issues.

But then again ... that might be an accurate portrayal of Americans: selfish, selfish, selfish to the end of every relationship

Took this in El Salvador, three separate photographs of the same night sky. I was trying to get a clear shot, but I simply cannot take good night photographs. But I added three photos together because it gives me a calming mood - don't know why

Watching #Landman S2 E4 with the Missus, and I commented, "That Ariana is really tough!"

My wife, "No. I'M tough. She's just a bitch!"

Does it look post-apocalyptic?

In case they block me ...
just wanted to throw it out there:

all I want to know is who?

Because the ONLY thing I see when checking the Crockett trending are accounts SAYING that white people now abandoned Crockett, but I do not see ANY wypipo accounts saying that.

So if you can't name one, I ...

Is it my feed?
Is it me?

Let me say this plainly: EVERY
FUCKING
TIME
something positive happens in which a Black candidate advances, I suddenly see a SHITFUCKTON of posts saying "White people turned on such-n-such person" but I
NEVER see that myself.

I only see people SAYING that others are ...

For some reason it reminds me of this album cover

... and also reminds me of my 2nd favorite Kinks album (1st being Lola vs Powermen and the Moneygoround Part 1) and the title track being one of my favorite Kinks songs

Trying to put up one for each date of advent. Sorry I missed yesterday, and I hope I am not boring everyone with photos of Christmas decorations: I think I am just searching for some joy this season

This is lovely!

I just posted mine today to #artAdventCalendar and it's in the same vein (although admittedly far far inferior to yours) but I hope you appreciate the intent

This is in Houston, an area called the Third Ward

Taken in Third Ward in the vicinity of the University of Houston, either last winter or the winter before.

Such a contrast between the newly built townhomes and the decaying property is emblematic of gentrification across much of the Metro area.

Taken at Da Vinci's Restaurant in Katy TX some years back.
It was a cold winter's night, around Christmas time, and the candle and figure seemed sweetly welcoming.

One of the best restaurants in the entire city btw
