From the Empire Annual for Canadian Girls, 1911

Black and white illustration, in the style of an etching, of an older gentleman in top hat and overcoat, hands behind his back, looking down at a wee girl in a pinafore, standing with the aid of a crutch, beside the door she has opened to the man. The caption reads “I suppose you’ve come about the gas bill.”

I say bring back pterodactyls.

Deep breath. Let go of the grudge. Or not. What am I in the mood for?

You can hold that grudge if you want to
Until your ship breaks its tide

A very messy and tangled with lines and smears of blue, black and brown ink and a smattering of lilac luminous drops on white paper
A face is half buried in a dark tangle of a hand caressing a ship and mermaid and the heavy ocean

I say pecan. One is a nut and the other is something to urinate in.

Found on the wishing tree by the Belfry Theatre. Appropriate that the play is 1979.

A handwritten note on a brown paper tag tied to a tree branch. The note reads: That my daughter will get to see a female Prime Minister (and not World War III).

Why was I born to have to share the air with that guy?

Rhonda Ganz @rhondaganz.bsky.social · Sep 7

Boo. Easy to say, New York. I have more anticipation for that than for the match. Say it long and loud please.

That instant before you open your eyes and think you are in the bed in the room you woke up in yesterday morning, not the one you went to sleep in last night.

Well we all just let wealth mean merit and popular mean wise and it all went and got a bit silly

8 months in is 240 days give or take! I appreciate your descriptions. I would have benefited as a younger person from certain people being as open about their experiences as you are. Thx

Throwback to last October. When she’s not enjoying chocolate, Mom can still sometimes find a song.

Whatever stop means to you today—stop.

Please

An orchid on a window sill above a sink of dirty dishes, but instead of blooms it grows two-headed pythons, and the dishes are only wine glasses and knives.

When I’m missing my own cats terribly, the cat at mom’s care home gives me some love.

Pale feet in summer sandals on a wooden floor. The person taking the photo is me and I’m sitting down, pointing my phone down to take the picture. A tabby cat with white markings, white tummy, and white legs is sprawled across the tops of both feet. If this were a video, you would see the cat rubbing her head against my toes.

A gal can dream, can’t she?

Another term from you that I’m going to test out. Mother Roadside is much more magical than the Free Pile.
