I study W.E.B. Du Bois, especially his philosophy of science. I am interested in multidisciplinary approaches to research his ideas. Also, I am a professor of political science at Bennett College.
Thank you, @romgothsam.bsky.social, for organizing #AScareADay for lo! these many Octobers. I enjoy the arrival of Autumn b/c I know #AScareADay is "frighteningly" close.
I really liked:
The Little Room
Charon
Mystery of the Blue Jar
Ten Excerpts...
Midnight Meat Train

#AScareADay Fogg "The Path She Sings"
A song's power isn't only in its melodies & lyrics, but also in its singing by one's beloved. Their voice & intonation, the missed lines, all convey what was dearest in life and will be dearest in death.
The singer, it seems, endures longer than the song itself.

#AScareADay Suzan Palumbo "Bleeding Hearts"
In the story the emotional traumas of lost loves & loved ones are painful, but might be lessened through a mysterious process that heals via plants growing & seemingly reducing the trauma in the humans. A bit of blood is involved. Results will vary.

Javier's repeated - & failed - attempts to resurrect his dead wife Una seem IMO to be attempts to remold his memories of her via confectionery methods.
Given the last scene, I wonder if the reactions of his in-laws & the ghost of Una will persuade him to stop?

In poems spiders eat flies who write about it.
With human romances one figuratively can ensnare & devour another.
