let me never love half-heartedly,
'til I am shrouded in earth,
with half my heart rotted out
'til I am shrouded in earth,
with half my heart rotted out
I was born in this chaparral
and I'll die in this chaparral

rosin eating zombies from outer space
Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

my only gripe with hamnet is that they didn't use a kestrel like in the book!!
![Other crises included the casting of the kestrel that serves as Agnes’s talismanic companion yet here proved, alas, slightly underwhelming. “Jessie [Buckley] and I went to a falconry in Norfolk and when they brought out the kestrel I was like, ‘Huh? Is that it?’” Zhao says. “So I turned to the guy and said, ‘I don’t suppose you have anything bigger?’” They chose a Harris’s hawk, much to O’Farrell’s chagrin. “Maggie told me that, historically, there were no hawks in England at that time and I replied, ‘Well, Maggie, get used to it. Welcome to the beginning of historical inaccuracies.’”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vnacvub4fnl3giwj33yni3mo/bafkreidamd4xbvtfuwpczgiqmyloyagjuiq4wko5loekzkmhu5btzp2toi@jpeg)

i guess i thought of my playfulness only when it came to writing, to my work. i didn't see it as some valuable thing i offered to friends, to strangers. it was just my personality or whatever. but isn't who you are such a thing to offer, to share?
