'For a moment I saw her silhouetted on the moonlight' Mont Sudbury, Weird Tales, 1940

Nor'easter weekend at least provided an opportune time to get flu shot/COVID booster, spent day sacked out with a low grade temp, but no FOMO because nothing was going on outside except damp and wind

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

I ordered a large pizza for dinner and the delivery guy said 'enjoy the party,' so I had to yell 'food's here guys' into my completely empty hallway.

someone told me I am a "known hater" and I was like, thanks it's great to finally start getting some recognition

We did it! Portland is the first port in the country (that we are aware of) that has a proactive notification system for letting people know when a cruise ship arrives with an infectious disease outbreak. It happened because of the leadership of @wespelletier.bsky.social #cruiseships #norovirus

“Can’t win ‘em all!” I chortle, hurtling myself into an active volcano.

Currently in love with this stylized, angular dog from Jacob Lawrence's 1958 painting "Brownstones"

do you ever worry that you haven't told strangers on the internet enough about your anxiety?

new Beth Orton album is so good, must make sure I can see her on fall tour

This Day in Labor History: June 21, 1877. Ten alleged members of the Molly Maguires, an Irish secret society blamed for labor radicalism in the anthracite country of Pennsylvania, were executed. Let's talk about the Mollies, or at least what we know about this pretty secret organization!

I had that dream again

New piece (from an actual Maine voter) on Graham Platner, the media's sudden "concern" over us poor dumb Mainers, and how I came around to voting for him: catvalente.substack.com/p/the-democr...

Remembering João Gilberto on his birthday 🎂 📷 Tom Copi, 1960 "His seductive vocals caressed the ear as well as the soul, while his guitar set an insouciant swinging rhythm going. The voice pulled in one direction, the beat in another." - Daniella Thompson www.youtube.com/watch?v=20xY...

aaand a little skunk just scurried by the steps, about 2 feet away, one cat sitting very close and completely undisturbed. Maybe they're friends?

JFC now one of the neighbors has clearly started running a dryer of laundry because the fresh rain/green spring soil smell has been replaced by Downy

63 degrees, far off lightning/no thunder, breezy, little spits of rain periodically rolling through. Deep green plant smells. Sitting on the porch, sipping chardonnay, need a sweatshirt.

The defunding project works like this: (1) right-wing legislatures demand that public universities create 'intellectual diversity' centers using taxpayer dollars and/or by accepting big donations from conservative billionaires like the Koch brothers (who also fund AEI, which produced the report)

in good news season 2 of Deadloch is available (prime, yech, but still) and so far is holding up as well as the 1st. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Hotel is appalling. We are all in the attic.

With days to go before kickoff, FIFA announced that it has prohibited fans from bringing refillable water bottles into World Cup stadiums. trib.al/R362oMg

Local right wing "news" program has been spending a lot of time patiently explaining how Dems can remove platner and move forward with someone else. Because they care, you see. They'll swing by with some flowers and a cauldron of chowder to sympathize, too

Your Joke is Factually Incorrect: A Guide to Dying Alone

I think a lot of Dems still don't fully appreciate just how dangerous the moment is, and how the party has an image problem at a time when we need to be pulling in everyone we can.

Last time maine dems panicked at closing time, we were all supposed to shift to Elliot Cutler. Just saying...

Dog on the table, looking v. happy, as who wouldn't with A+ Chinese cup and not 1 but 2 biscuits! Painted in the 1640s by Giovanna Garzoni. It's her day.

1. Major news. The Maine trans sports and bathroom ban referendum will NOT appear on the November ballot, baring an appeal. It turns out the paid-by-signature gatherers submitted potentially fraudulently collected, improper, or even forged signatures. Our latest report.

The utter dejection of opening an avocado to find that it is rotten - now what am I supposed to do? My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?

Most economists agree that by the time you're 50, you should be living in a dilapidated Victorian mansion at the edge of the forest, sitting by a roaring fire, and discussing poetry with furtive ghosts and indifferent cats.

C'mon bobby charles, you got this #maine let's get the freak show going

Really appreciate the person at this restaurant bar conducting a lengthy phone call with their credit card company to dispute various billing discrepancies.

Sorry, no, I don't pick up hitchhikers, I have heard some dark stories.
