Occasionally I write stories. Parfois, ils apparaissent juste. そして時には彼らは捕まえるのが難しいです。

The subtlety of whitework always intrigues me. The level of artisanship, the tiny stitches, only for it to blend into the background makes it more special, a secret to be enjoyed by the observant or overlooked by those in search of more obvious splendour. Gown c1800 #VandA #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

This is really good. Worth reading, especially for writers, artists and ghost story enjoyers.
New from me, at @vqr.bsky.social: a few years ago two people contacted me about a TEDx talk I once gave, “The Art of Haunting.”
When I replied I’d never given a TEDx talk, things just got weirder.
On AI, ghosts, what it means to tell a story, and what Italo Calvino saw coming 60 years ago. Enjoy!

The email was innocuous enough. A woman wrote to me explaining how her partner had been talking about my work and how much he’d enjoyed it—in particular, he’d remembered me giving a TEDx talk about gh...

Over a century after the original couture house of Worth opened its doors, the London off shoot was still producing garments. This two piece late #1950s evening ensemble was designed by Owen Hyde Clark #VandA #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

5月に私の住んでいる場所にTESOLifeの店舗がオープンするんですか？
ワシントン州にも店舗をオープンするみたいですね。
少なくともダイソーよりは近いでしょう。

Oh. A number of higher ups and two founders have left xAI in the last couple of days...including engineers. Around 12?
No info if it's in relation to the attempted merger with SpaceX. Just remember social media platform X is part of xAI, and there's investigations happening in several countries.

Okay Severance, Stiller said he's not directing this time due to conflicts so hoping filming will start on time. What I want to know about is Silo! Season 3 filming wrapped last year so it's been in post production for a few months already. I need something good to watch.
And Outcome trailer when?

Guessing this is due to federal government cut backs to In Home Support Services which partially paid family members to take care of disabled and elderly kin. And cut backs to Meals on Wheels and other programs. Also increases to nursing homes and care facilities due to more aging US population
"This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in providing nonresidential social assistance to children and youth, the elderly, persons with disabilities, and all other individuals and families."

Bud broke the mold of what a leading actor should be.
Gonna rewatch "Harold and Maude" tonight. It is an endearing movie, definitely art. Rest in peace Bud Cort, condolances to your friends and family.

Harold and Maude is a movie that speaks specifically to its time, but which I mean any time between 1971 and forever. Rest In Peace, Bud Cort.

The violet, a symbol of modesty and loyalty, is another birth flower for those born in February.
“The violet in her green-wood bower,
Where birchen boughs with hazel mingle,
May boast itself the fairest flower
In glen, or copse, or forest dingle.”

This is the Alpha Persei Cluster, one of my favorite open clusters. Unfortunately there was a lot of humidity and thin clouds, which created a glow around the bright stars. The brightest is Alpha Persei, also known as Mirfak. #Astronomy #Astrophotography
