At one point, my therapist said this about my mom: "she was so accepting, and just took such joy in the person right in front of her, that she didn't need a label to explain you. She just *liked* you so much."

She really did. The loss of it will never stop hurting. 💔

thinking about this Brautigan short again
I was trying to describe you to someone a few days ago. You don’t look like any girl I’ve ever seen before. I couldn’t say “Well she looks just like Jane Fonda, except that she’s got red hair, and her mouth is different and of course, she’s not a movie star…” I couldn’t say that because you don’t look like Jane Fonda at all. I finally ended up describing you as a movie I saw when I was a child in Tacoma Washington. I guess I saw it in 1941 or 42, somewhere in there. I think I was seven, or eight, or six. It was a movie about rural electrification, a perfect 1930’s New Deal morality kind of movie to show kids. The movie was about farmers living in the country without electricity. They had to use lanterns to see by at night, for sewing and reading, and they didn’t have any appliances like toasters or washing machines, and they couldn’t listen to the radio. They built a dam with big electric generators and they put poles across the countryside and strung wire over fields and pastures. There was an incredible heroic dimension that came from the simple putting up of poles for the wires to travel along. They looked ancient and modern at the same time. Then the movie showed electricity like a young Greek god, coming to the farmer to take away forever the dark ways of his life. Suddenly, religiously, with the throwing of a switch, the farmer had electric lights to see by when he milked his cows in the early black winter mornings. The farmer’s family got to listen to the radio and have a toaster and lots of bright lights to sew dresses and read the newspaper by. It was really a fantastic movie and excited me like listening to the Star Spangled Banner, or seeing photographs of President Roosevelt, or hearing him on the radio “…the President of the United States…" I wanted electricity to go everywhere in the world. I wanted all the farmers in the world to be able to listen to President Roosevelt on the radio… And that’s how you look to me.

a sign people really want a feature and find it good is when companies make turning it off a 12 part process (firefox), require registry modifications (microsoft) or contact support to reveal the real off switch instead of their two decoy toggles (google) so they can claim people don't turn it off 📈

I am just over half way through a graphic adaptation of an epic Irish medieval eco-fable. I've about 12-18 months left on it. I'd like to focus more on the lost habitats/sepsis, but that will come. The writer is great to work with. I've learned to love green 💚 in all its shades

Yeah, I’m sure going on a massive drug bender is all quite thrilling, but you know what is also exciting? Going on an estuary walk and finding the sunken mud-caked exoskeleton of an old boat.
I think I found this old boat, sunken into the tidal mud on the Teign estuary, in April 2022. On the way, my friend Nathan and I had misjudged the tide, and had to scramble over a barbed wire fence to avoid drowning then almost ended up in a sewage works on the edge of Newton Abbott by mistake. Eventually we reached Teignmouth, where I procure a surprisingly reasonably price original pressing of 'The Five Day Week Straw People' by The Five Day Week Straw People (1968) from the Sound Preservation Society Record Shop, possibly because its sleeve had been chewed by a mouse. If you look hard enough into the distance you might just be able to make out Jack's Patch garden centre in Bishopsteignton, where, when in a pinch, I have occasionally purchased compost, although not any plants, as it's never been the right time, and their prices aren't exactly competitive.

Slept for a couple of hours, dreamt I was building my own menagerie of miniature versions of lots of different animals.
🖼️ Alisher Navoiĭ, 1441-1501 - fol. 109a. Mecnūn in the company of wild animals, Ḫamse-yi Nevāʾī, Walters Ms. W.663, Five poems.
Persian miniature painting illustrating the story of Majnun among the wild animals. The artwork depicts a serene scene where a man, identified as Majnun, is seated in a blue, water-filled landscape surrounded by various wild animals. Majnun is shown seated with a deer in his lap, which is eating from his hand. A variety of animals, including a lion, leopard, deer, antelopes, rabbits, a fox, and a bear, peacefully gather around him. The background is a stylized blue environment representing a desert or a mystical place, with some sparse vegetation and trees. The story of Layla and Majnun is a classical tale of unfulfilled love, where Majnun goes mad and lives in the wilderness, and the wild animals gather around him, drawn by his devotion.
