Dreamtime Drinne's spouse. Wandering soul, lost on the Playa. But I know where my towel is. I am after all, perfectly normal.

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter:

(1) your haters are trash
(2) you’re a baller, a true queen
(3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️
Prague, 23 November 1911 Highly esteemed Mrs. Curie, Do not laugh at me for writing you without having anything sensible to say. But I am so enraged by the base manner in which the public is presently daring to concern itself with you!? that I absolutely must give vent to this feeling. However, I am convinced that you consistently despise this rabble, whether it obsequiously lavishes respect on you or whether it attempts to satiate its lust for sensationalism! I am impelled to tell you how much I have come to admire your intellect, your drive, and your honesty, and that I consider myself lucky to have made your personal acquaintance in Brussels. Anyone who does not number among these reptiles is certainly happy, now as before, that we have such personages among us as you, and Langevin(3) too, real people with whom one feels privileged to be in contact. If the rabble continues to occupy itself with you, then simply don't read that hogwash, but rather leave it to the reptile for whom i

Copied (with permission) from a discworld group I’m in if anyone can help even if it’s just a share
Hogfather million to one chance search Hi everyone, this is a huge longshot but wondering if any of you lovely folk might be able to help. My partner just told me that her dad (who sadly died more than 20 years ago) gave her a hardback copy of Hogfather, but it got lost in one of her moves not long after he died. I doubt we'd ever find it, but it would be an amazing New Year miracle if we could discover it and I could buy it back if it's still out there. It's signed in the front cover "To Anthea" and probably says from Dad or similar. Like I say, it's a million to one chance... Thanks for reading.

Before making this, I was most impressed that NASA is still able to keep in contact with a probe launched in 1977 that has left the solar system. Now, I'm most impressed that the antennas are still intact (I experienced no less than 5 breakages).

Rainy Days of the Soul
**Panel 1** Arthur, a yellow duck, sits on a windowsill seat during a rainstorm. He gazes out the window, looking contemplative. Rain streaks down the glass, and the sky is gray. (No dialogue.) **Panel 2** The scene remains the same, with Arthur still staring outside as rain pours. (No dialogue.) **Panel 3** A slight warm glow from the right appears, Arthur looks up in curiosity. (No dialogue.) **Panel 4** Flaco, a green lizard, peeks in from the right with a yellow sun balloon. Arthur looks at him. (No dialogue.) **Panel 5** Arthur looks up at the yellow sun balloon as Flaco hands it to him. (No dialogue.) **Panel 6** Arthur takes the balloon string in his beak. Flaco looks pleased. **Panel 7** Flaco sits on the seat with Arthur, balloon string in his beak, and they hug and look very happy. The warm yellow fills the window, only a little rain seen on the window. (No dialogue.) --- Want 5,000 more comics like this?

I present to you my venn piagram
A venn diagram made of pie. The left side is an apple pie with a solid pastry lid. The right side is cherry pie with no lid. The overlapping section is apple and cherry with a lattice lid. It sits on a deepish black baking tray, the pastry isn't the neatest, and it is the most ridiculous thing I've ever made.

This is a great poem by Danielle Coffyn.

IF ADAM PICKED THE APPLE
IF ADAM PICKED THE APPLE There would be a parade, a celebration, a holiday to commemorate the day he sought enlightenment. We would not speak of temptation by the devil, rather, we would laud Adam's curiosity, his desire for adventure and knowing. We would feast on apple-inspired fare: tortes, chutneys, pancakes, pies. There would be plays and songs reenacting his courage. But it was Eve who grew bored, weary of her captivity in Eden. And a woman's desire for freedom is rarely a cause for celebration.

Really amazing account both of the 18th C Black scholar Francis Williams, and of Dr. Dabhoiwala’s sleuthing that led to a re-appraisal of the meaning of this portrait. (Significant page number of a book shown in the art! Dates of books shown on bookcase!) 🧪🔭
