No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met nearly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.

floating blue orbs tether a boy's glare at a circle of tesselating imps. Three gold discs are in each of his eyes. Below the computer of imps is an apparition of a curtain rail being broken, the curtain flailing.

If you evade suffering you also evade the chance of joy. Pleasure you may get, or pleasures, but you will not be fulfilled. You will not know what it is to come home.

Yall real silent about disability injustices because most of you don’t see disability as a thing that can happen to you.

We are “aww those poor people”. Meanwhile disability can happen to anyone at any moment and those injustices you ignored? They become your experiences too

The memorial for the Edmund Fitzgerald crew at Split Rock Lighthouse was a wonderful tribute. I have to admit, seeing family members present to ring the memorial bell was incredibly emotional. And seeing Split Rock lit up was awe-inspiring.
Split Rock Lighthouse standing atop a large rock cliff with Lake Superior’s shore in the foreground. It is late evening and the skies are dark blue. The lighthouse beacon is lit and sending reflections out onto the water.

Did you know that the creators of the hilarious satirical documentary series American Vandal made another show, called Players? Did you know it takes on the world of esports and is just as funny and incisive? Did you know you can watch it all for free, right now?

Today.
A woman standing in her kitchen. She is taking a photo of herself and her boyfriend who is just a circulatory system. The text reads: It is November 10th now. Your circulatory system boyfriend stands by your pan in the kitchen. Unattended cooking is the number one cause of home fires. There are more home fires on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year. Always stand by your pan.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.
It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Eggplant is one of, if not the best, videogame podcasts I've ever heard. Made by game developers, their conversations are approachable and lighthearted all the same. This latest one, being about Consume Me, fills me with joy.

This connection isn’t articulated often enough.
That is why care has transformative power beyond health. To be truly listened to – to be recognized not as a case but as a person – can change not just how one experiences illness, but how one experiences oneself and the world. It can foster the capacity to care for others across differences, to resist hatred and violence, to build the fragile social ties upon which democracy depends. By contrast, when medicine is reduced to data and transactions, it not only fails patients and demoralizes doctors. It also degrades democracy itself. A system that alienates people in their moments of deepest vulnerability – bankrupting them, gaslighting them, leaving them unheard – breeds despair and rage. It creates the conditions in which authoritarians gain traction.

Kneesvember 2025 Day 1
Birds are flying toward a castle with several red-roofed towers built at the top of an enormous oak tree. The sky is blue and there are wispy clouds. The tree is full of orange leaves and there are red and yellow trees in the distance. The image is bordered by a red, yellow, and blue, uh... border, with little stars and patterns. On the Queen's seventh birthday, brids from across the warbler realm were flocking to Oakcliffe Castle to take part in the festivities. (The first letter is illustrated in its own cute little box, technically termed an historiated initial, like in medieval manuscripts)
