Decorously panicking. Reading poetry to the Mad Hatter. Listening to Haydn with the Walrus. Hanging on to the grin of the Cheshire Cat. Arts, films, stuff.
Not podalistically inclined myself, but that IS rather beautiful*, @magus-smillsoid.bsky.social.

A theatrical sensation since the 1960s, whose dramas included Arcadia, The Real Thing and Leopoldstadt, Stoppard also had huge success as a screenwriter
The playwright Tom Stoppard, whose playful erudition dazzled the theatregoing world for decades, has died aged 88.
One of a select band of writers from any discipline to earn his own adjective – “Stoppardian” – in the Oxford English Dictionary, he delighted in the most improbable juxtapositions: philosophy and gymnastics in Jumpers (1972); early 19th-century landscape gardening and chaos theory in Arcadia (1993); rock music, dissident Czech academics and the love poetry of Sappho in Rock ’n’ Roll (2006).

Unsolicited and probably unpopular opinion:
if internet domestic animals are imagined as being able to talk at all, they should be able to do it properly and not in that artificial baby-foozly-gobbledygooky way.
C’mon people, one small last effort of imagination. Can’t be that hard.

“George is the winter Persephone”
George is the winter Persephone, going down weeping into the earth with his broken, his torn-out, his given-away heart, and emerging next year with it regrown and ready to make the same mistake all over again.

Another turtle. This one is only about 6 lbs. I was going to toss it away, but I needed one last piece to fill a show. Went to the scrap pile where I had tossed in, 30% finished, and finished it. Turned out to be the best piece in that show.

Looks like the serial offender here is Lav Diaz.
I don’t know him (and might choose to postpone his acquaintance indefinitely unless persuaded differently. Any takers?)
I know only two from the list, and loved both: 1900 (and never mind the critics- what do they know), and Fanny and Alexander.
