Corporations provide a service.

They do not make laws.
They do not run countries.

That's the post.

A blend. Original ghosts inspired by folklore can play into our modern fears while evoking our ancient ones.

( @timwaggoner.bsky.social comes to mind for his ability to be inspired by folklore while doing his own thing)

Listen to the Symposium’s finest vocalist, as their tenor bends the living into unnatural angles and swivels them into the air! Tell us, what ghosts do you prefer? Of the folkloric tradition, or those invented by authors? And why?

Question Three

Art by Jelle Husson, featuring a haunted monastery of many sharp-tipped towers scraping at the midnight sky. The largest is in the centre of the structure’s roof, whose walls are painted white. The monastery is located above a hilly terrain of dark stone and dark green moss. A stony, twisting road leads to the monastery.

It is always a delight to see our violinists perform! How the living bend their splintering bones as they float above us all! Tell us, our ghostly compatriots – which of us are better? Of the folkloric kind? Or invented by our shadowy creators?

…You turn to leave, only to find that the gate is missing and the graveyard extends to infinity in all directions.

The stone thumps onto the thick, overgrown grass.

“You never visit me anymore,” the crone wines.

“Now you’ll stay with your grandmother FOREVER!”

Just saw Spinal Tap II and absolutely loved most of it. A couple of things didn’t land for me, but that's the nature of media. Everyone was in top form and there were many moments of total brilliance.

If the top 100 billionaires each gave a one time contribution of a billion dollars to an endowment for the arts, every performing arts non profit in the country could be substantially funded forever.

And even the bottom billionaire on that list would still be worth over $11 billion.

Narcissists are great at conditioning you to believe that your emotions are overreactions instead of signals that something’s deeply wrong.

I'll be at Southam Book Fest, Sun 12/10 and yes I'll be #masked again! I don't want to. I'm not anxious. I have to remember the science to maintain my resolve. It doesn't help sales; people don't understand I'm the person definitely not infecting anyone. #Covid levels high; local hospital is full.

A woman is standing looking to camera behind a table on which there are books. Other tables with books in the room books indicate that it is a book fair. She has a poster board showing a book series entitled 'Ice Cooper'. The woman is wearing a black T-shirt over a red top. She is also wearing a black FFP3 face mask

"What continues to astonish me
about a garden
is that you can walk past it in a hurry,
see something wrong,
stop to set it right,
and emerge an hour or two later
breathless, centered,
and wondering what on earth happened.”
Dorothy Gilman

I'm drinking a tea from Mariage Frères this AM. Yeah, I know I can buy it domestically, but we like to pretend it's extra fancy by only buying from the Mariage Frères shop in the Marais in Paris...after having lunch in the tearoom. The photo is from this past February, a few hours after getting 1/

#LGBTQWriteAThon At the risk of smashing words together: hopepunk art nouveau fantasy/romance. As in, it's primarily a fantasy, has romantic elements (it's ace4bi primarily), and is basically an aggressively optimistic Final Fantasy but set in 1901 France.
