I just saw a man walking down the street with a little autonomously driving suitcase following a few feet behind him. It had a small camera on top that probably was used to both track his movement and watch for other people or obstacles.
I'm not even mad if they use this technology to make devices for people with disabilities to help them get around, do their own shopping without having to carry packages, and so forth.
But I am mad that they didn't put little pointy ears on it.

Swan Song – A Modern Comedy
A tempestuous love affair and a tragi-comic demise concludes the A Modern Comedy trilogy by John Galsworthy #ForsyteSaga #amreading
A review of Swan Song by John Galsworthy Originally published in 1928, Swan Song is the third in Galsworthy’s A Modern Comedy trilogy. While it, just about, stands on its own merits, to get the most out of the book the reader should read the first two books in the trilogy and, especially, the interlude, Passers-By, which he wrote in 1927. In that, Soames takes his daughter, Fleur, along with her…

Hope by Vladimir Dimitroff Via Flickr: We often grumble with fellow musicians of my ('boomer') generation that today's kids don't bother to play instruments and make 'real music', content to 'produce' on laptops from samples and loops (or rap over 'beats')... But each time I see an enthusiastic young band on a stage or in the street (this one's really good - recommended!) - I don't just enjoy the sight and the music, I realise that 'not everything is lost - yet'... ANd that makes me happy :)

Izuku, when moving into the dorms: so, sometimes, when I’m talking to myself, I’ll respond to my thoughts out loud
Izuku: some examples of what you might hear when I’m just doing random tasks might be, “why didn’t my father love me?” “Did I take my meds this morning?” “If pencils had eyes, we’d call them peyencils.” And so forth
Class A:
Izuku: if this happens, feel free to ignore it

The sheer soulmatism of Lenore and Annabel fucks me up so bad everytime I think too hard about it okay sit down y’all.
The way they were immediately drawn to each other even though they had no memory of anything! No reason to immediately become so attached and protective and trusting! Not even death could part them, it’s almost like reincarnation in a way. The sins of living and the pain that comes with being alive washed away not by holy water but rather split blood, and in this new life they’re reborn into a blank, clean slate. Even in this memoryless ‘next lifetime’ they still choose each other without hesitation, without question, and I am on my knees sobbing.
The parallels of Annabel fainting! Annabel fainted when she learned that Lenore was actually alive, and Annabel also fainted when remembering how she died, and by extension, how Lenore died too (not related to soulmatism but in one scenario her lover caught her despite the injury, and in the other Lenore had no such hinderance but failed to catch Annabel regardless and that parallel kills me so softly). The soulmatism that is reacting the same exact way when you learned she lived vs remembering how she died, the soulmatism that the love is still the same. Oh how the love is still so tragically the same, crossing that threshold of death, despite the unhappy ending you shared. Annabel faints because it’s learning you have a second chance at love vs remembering how that same love was ripped away and I am no longer on my knees but laying facedown on the floor.

(The way Annabel looked at Lenore before collapsing in both scenes but with DRASTICALLY different vibes of disbelief like okay yeah sure, sure okay mhm just smash my ribs and rip my heart right out why don’t you?)
Now, NOW, the thing that truly ends me? The crazy red/blue symbolism these two carry.
Tumblr media
Lenore is the embodiment of red. Her thoughts come in red print, as do the ribbons she was wrapped up in. Her fiery (pun intended), confident personality, her pure raging defiance rallying those around her. What’s more, Lenore’s anger and bared teeth is painted red the same way her love is, because red is not just the color of anger. Red is love, and Lenore, my god, she cares so openly about the people around her that her heart’s just painted bloody and brazen on her sleeve. Born from self-made infernos into the person she was always meant to be- flirty, quick-witted, taking what she wants when she wants- she is a young Montague wrapped up in her family’s house colors trailblazing down her own paths.
(But unlike dear Romeo who scaled a tree to look upwards towards Juliet on her balcony, Lenore was in a tree looking downwards at her counterpart, and this parallel is so important as the scene is clearly a Romeo/Juliet parallel but without the sweet sappiness but rather tension and just like, 1000x more interesting ‘can I trust you fr fr-ness’.)
Annabel is the embodiment of blue. Her thoughts come in blue print, and her ribbons are a deep blue to match. Blue is the color of calmness, and she seems so tranquil with a gentle yet firm confidence that puts people around her at ease. A natural born leader with such cool-headedness. Oh, but underneath that mask? Sadness. SO MUCH sadness, Annabel is an ocean of it, she’s a peaceful smile with a melancholic heart shot through. Young Capulet holds not pure innocence like her Juliet-counterpart but rather a deep rooted loneliness, like guys, Annabel is actually just so fucken SAD I think we really need to address this more yes she’s a total girlboss but also Annabel is the personification of hollowed out loneliness that comes with your beloved being ripped away from you.
This really got away from me, but my point?
Lenore, the embodiment of red, has blue eyes.
Annabel, the embodiment of blue, has red-adjacent eyes.

FORGET LAYING ON THE GROUND IN TEARS I AM CURRENTLY CLIPPING THROUGH THE FLOOR AND HEADING STRAIGHT GAY TO MY GRAVE IN THE BACKROOMS!!!
YOUR HONOR THEIR EYES ARE THE GODDAMNED COLORS OF THE OTHER’S MOTHERMARYFUCKING S O U L LIKE WHAT IN THE JESUS H CHRIST BUMBLEBY SOULMATISM IS T H I S S S⁉️⁉️⁉️

March 1, 2024 - Kenya Rufous Sparrow or Kenya Sparrow (Passer rufocinctus) Found in parts of Kenya and Tanzania, these sparrows live in savannas, cultivated areas, and villages and towns. They eat seeds, including grains, and domestic scraps and feed insects to their chicks, often foraging on the ground in pairs or sometimes in small flocks. Pairs build oval-shaped nests with entrances on the side or near the top from grasses, feathers, and hair, usually in trees. Females lay clutches of three to five eggs.
