Finished reading “Ways We Vanish” and “Ragnarök at the Father-Daughter Dance” by @toddedillard.bsky.social. Stunningly good poem after stunningly good poem. Magical elision between metaphor and reality. Deeply personal but even more deeply relatable. Highly recommend both books.

The thing about all these pieces complaining about Marine Le Pen's conviction is that not a single one of them bothers to explain why someone found guilty of embezzling millions of Euros from public funds should be allowed to get away with it

The Ides of March (15th March) marks the festival of Anna Perenna, Roman goddess of the cyclical year. In Latin, anna means “to live through a year” and perenna means “to last many years”. These words are the roots of annual and perennial, the terms we use for a plant’s lifespan.
