Really enjoying engaging with this intellectually stretching book from @shearsmanbooks.bsky.social Well worth taking my time with.

A ghostly Beach Spider Lily (Hymenocallis littoralis) adds a touch of #Halloween creepiness to a #garden. The #spooky white #flowers emit a strong, sweet vanilla aroma that intensifies dramatically in the evening to attract nocturnal #pollinators like hawk-moths #BloomScrolling #October #Autumn

I believe in government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Mike Rogers believes in government of the billionaires, by the corporations, and for the special interests.

Back home now, so this should be the last thing from my Armenia arc. Here are my thoughts from time spent with the wild child of the Indo-European family, concerning the linguistic landscape of Armenia, the lexical makeup of Armenian, and cracking its cracking alphabet. dannybate.com/2026/10/25/a...

The modern history of Armenia is dark and sad enough, but the situation right now feels like a game of chess in which Armenia can't make any good moves.
