[Image ID: A screenshot of a poem in Chinese, attributed to Xin Qiji, 1140-1207. English translation reads,

"In youth I knew nothing of the taste of sorrow I liked to climb high towers, I liked to climb high towers To conjure up a bit of sorrow to make new verse.

Now I know only too well the taste of sorrow I begin to speak yet pause, I begin to speak yet pause And say instead 'My, what a cool and lovely autumn.' "

End ID.]

A wish bounced off the moon and broke up on reentry, blanketing the southwestern USA in shards of high velocity desire.

Sources say affected cows have begun to genuflect, and a cactus has learned to while away the time in memory.

I never thought about this... you're right, that's awesome

Was talking to a coworker today who explained that her grandfather was like Snow White “but Californian. And an old man.” in that the creatures of the forest would follow him around and presumably duet with him.

“When he died the ravens sat in the trees outside for a week, watching. Taking turns. A horde of raccoons tried to break into the house every night, tearing at the siding. Eventually they gave up, but it was unsettling.”

“Aww. They were checking on him!” I said, like a normal person. Internally, I thought “Maybe you could do the thing you do with dead pets, where you show them to the living pets so the living pet understands they’re gone. But I guess if you did that to a bunch of scavenging species, they’d be like “Well, that’s very sad but he IS food now.” So what you’d need, for human sensibilities, is some sort of transparent corpse barrier. Like a see-through coffin oh that’s what the dwarves were doing! You’ve stopped paying attention to this conversation about the loss of a beloved family member you gotta phase back in.”
