Czeslaw Milosz, from "Ars Poetica?"

Sometimes I think that I would like to get started in some kind of martial arts again.

I loved it, for a long time. And it was probably the last time I felt like I knew how to ask my body for things, how to move through the world with it, how it would do what I wanted if I was patient and persistent. I was strong, then. My hands went where my mind put them.

And then sometimes I visit my parents and my mother starts telling me about how she's been looking up everyone from the dojo of my adolescence on social media. And I go very, very still on the inside, like all of the other things that happened there will somehow start happening again if I move too quickly, even inside of my own skin. Like I never got out at all.

I've been writing about it more, so I thought it would bother me less. Apparently not, or not today.

"The sculpture in the image is “Das Schicksal” (Fate), created in 1905 by Hugo Lederer. The sculpture portrays fate as a ruthless woman dragging two vulnerable bodies by their hair.

The work is currently located in Ohlsdorf Cemetery in Hamburg, Germany."

One chapter into Ulysses and I have 10 times more appreciation for that "Ogre barely even Literate!" meme

[machine-unlearning]

Everyone call Ogre stupid and it True! Ogre can only understand popular quotations like "Very well then, I contradict myself" and "Introibo ad altare Dei" not obscure references like "Thalatta!" and "the rage of Caliban at not seeing his face in a mirror" that contextualize the characters' perspective on life within the lens of culture and literature!

[machine-unlearning]

Ogre so dumb he isn't even aware of the best-known quotations of ancient Greek literature intended to expose the character’s shallowness! At this rate Ogre will never get through Chapter 3!

Girls Scouts encounter Bigfoot the most frequently. Part of their oath is to keep him a secret because he’s very kind and makes up 30% of their revenue due to his fervent love for thin mints.

[hlahlahlahlahly]

As a Girl Scout leader, I am telling you that this is NOT true, and any former girl scout that says it is, should think about what they are saying and what oaths they may have sworn in the past
