So with you. It's one thing to be aware that it's happening, but to watch the spin in real time, from reporters who have a responsibility to speak truth to power when it really counts but who instead spew lies, is so sickening.

There is also video circulating of police aiming, firing and hitting an Australian reporter (with a mic, in front of her camera person) with a rubber bullet.

Seriously tho, cat initiates a cascade in the closet, which results in two bottles of ink breaking out of 20+, mostly with names like "Sailor 123" and "Blue", "Bleu", "Arctic Blue" and "Kyanite du Nepal", and these are the two that are broken?
By a cat named Inky.

The em-dash is the — thing —
That lingers —
And does the work — in place of words
And never stops — at all —

Other thoughts:
- Can't have a literary novel w/o centering the divorces of a middle-aged white guy
- Is it easier to have a more hopeful post-apocalypse if you get rid of most of humanity? Noodling on this as I write my novel.

It was soooo good. This helped me get through a long stretch when I backpacked a segment of the Pacific Crest Trail. I listened to the whole thing in one day on 1.75 speed over 18-miles of trekking!

Otherwise, I love this book. This was my third read, my first close read (to glean craft lessons), and I'll return to it again some day.
Which Emily St. John Mandel book should I tackle next?

The quote that prompted this is from The Reason Why: The Story of the Fatal Charge of the Light Brigade, by Cecil Woodham-Smith, a Welsh-Irish historian writing in the 1950s.
She took aim at the arrogance of the aristocracy, and also wrote books on Florence Nightingale & the Irish Famine.

"You'll take my life, but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket, but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand, there's no turning back"
To be fair, the lyrics also highlight the waste of human life

My brain is broken by this juxtaposition btwn corseted UwU-speak using cavalry (w/o much context, I imagine that this was an attempt to effeminize & demean the aristocracy) and the glorifying the Charge as the epitome of masculine, nationalist sacrifice. The song opens with:
