Everything is plundered, betrayed, sold,
Death's great black wing scrapes the air,
Misery gnaws to the bone.
Why then do we not despair?
By day, from the surrounding woods,
cherries blow summer into town;
at night the deep transparent skies
glitter with new galaxies.

Recently finished "The Knowledge Illusion" by Sloman and Fernbach from 2017. I took far too many notes I am still processing, but would be really interesting to see an update after the surge in generative AI.

The "end" of my road trip was our last night in Delaware - notjessica58.blogspot.com/2025/11/dela...
We didn't really visit DC, but I've been debating doing a revisit? Or should I go some day when it is less shut down?

Honestly this is the problem with substack and TikTok. Every ding dong with a mic or a camera thinks they’re a hard hitting journalist when really you’re Olivia Reingold dressed up like Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday with your shoulder pads and circa 97 chunky pilgrim Steven Madden shoes

I've submitted a few updated photos and such to Atlas Obscura over the last year or so of my wanderings, but I submitted an actual article back in July that was recently approved about the Jackson Grave Houses.

The word 'broadcasting' dates back centuries, and originally described a method of sowing seeds. But it took on a new meaning with the rise of radio in the 1920s. n.pr/3JeW2Dj

Vaccines are safe and effective.
Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.
When you want information, ask your doctor.
It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

My most recent travel included a stop in Haywood County where my first goal was to see the tribute to writer Fred Chappell at the Canton branch of the public library. It was a lovely visit.
