“Inside us the dead, like sweet-honeyed tamarind pods that will burst in tomorrow’s sun, or plankton fossils in coral alive at full moon dragging virile tides over coy reefs into yesterday’s lagoons. […] Inside me the dead woven into my flesh like the music of bone flutes–”
— Albert Wendt, from ‘Inside Us the Dead’. Published in Lali: A Pacific Anthology (Longman Paul, 1980).

Livestock drama
   “Let’s put pool noodles on the goat’s horns!” says a teenager.
“Why would you,   ” I begin, but they have already stampeded out of the house. I shrug.
Tumblr media
   It turns out that when someone puts pool noodles on a goat’s horns, the goat doesn’t really care. They’re very light, after all, and she can’t see them. You know who cares? Who cares a LOT?
   the HORSE. Hero took one look at Nutmeg wearing pool noodles and ran away. You know who doesn’t want to be left alone, ever? Nutmeg. Who went trotting after Hero because he was leaving her.
Tumblr media
   Hero, seeing that the eldritch abomination was after him, picked up speed. Nutmeg went into a full run. My kids started chasing Nutmeg to get the pool noodles off her, but could not catch her, because she’s surprisingly fast. The dogs were bringing up the rear, just happy to be going for a pleasant run. Hero was in a panic, leading a parade that he did not want.
   This all resolved. One noodle feel off; the kids eventually cornered Nutmeg and removed the other one. Just - a day at a farm, I guess.

how do you come up with stuff like “frames, the symbol of the limits of perspective” that’s so. magical
Thank you!!!! The idea is very much inspired by Rene Magritte!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For years I have been staring really hard at Rene Magritte paintings and their titles and reading some of his commentary about them and rotating them in my mind at incredible speed!!!!!!!!!!!!

We know little about the deep sea environments of the Mesozoic but one place where we can get a glimpse into this world is the Münsterland basin. We have here several localities that preserved shallow and deep water animals side by side, caused by underwater landslides. These carried stuff from the rim of the basin and buried them in the deep with other material that was down there.
Tachynectes here is a very early lanternfish. Flattened lanternfishes are no longer a thing these days and we actually have lanternfishes from these localities that show their photophores preserved. We know where they glowed!
