That indie game no one else has played. That show from the 1980s that isn't big in the pop culture osmosis. Your deep dive into Tudor history. A liveblog of your experience learning C++. Your welding skills. Post all of it. This is your house

we won't judge your C++ if you don't judge ours

The More Loving One - W.H. Auden

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well

That, for all they care, I can go to hell,

But on earth indifference is the least

We have to dread from man or beast.

How should we like it were stars to burn

With a passion for us we could not return?

If equal affection cannot be,

Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am

Of stars that do not give a damn,

I cannot, now I see them, say

I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,

I should learn to look at an empty sky

And feel its total dark sublime,

Though this might take me a little time.

Weird q that’s a bit of a reach.

I’m writing a piece on the now-extinct NH native Smooth-slender Crabgrass. I’ve already had an interviewee back out, and my deadline is 7/23/26 (yeah I know). Since this plant has been extinct for close to a century, I’m not particularly looking for someone with close experience with this specific species, but am looking for botany/ecology informed interviewees who are some combination of:

Informed on this species

Informed on endangered plants/plant extinctions generally

Is familiar with Rock Rimmon Park (Manchester NH USA) & its diverse ecosystem

Might have a personal connection to NH / northeastern USA

If this is you and you’d like to be interviewed (will give publication details privately), shoot me a DM with some information about why you feel this would fit you!

The fastest way to accomplish The Project is to cease being afraid of The Project. The Project cannot maim you. The Project cannot kill you. The Project is more afraid of you than you are of it. It is okay if The Project turns out differently from how it was in your head, and it is okay if it has flaws. You are capable of engaging with The Project.

Writing, then, was a substitute for myself: if you don't love me, love my writing & love me for my writing. It is also much more: a way of ordering and reordering the chaos of experience.

No info from the auto-upload.

A bicinium, either original or perhaps an intabulation of one by Josquin or another Burgundian.

I'd have to dig up his book to see.

Is it socially acceptable to use opaque watercolors, or is that considered gouache?

It could be a sign of a bad temperament.
