Just thinking about Sylvester H Roper, the inventor of steam powered velocipede. Imagine not knowing that there was a man who made a steam powered bicycle(/tricycle/quadrycle). Imagine not knowing that he died testing out one of his steam powered bicycles. Such a perfect Victorian inventor name. Such a perfect Victorian invention. Such a perfectly Victorian death

Truly a gift to this world

#this is just to say #Victorian inventors

🦀 This is just to say

I have unleashed the crabs that were on my dashboard

and which you had gifted to me for crab day

Thank you they were delightful so scuttle-y and so red

thank you so much for all the crabs @anyawen, @foxsoulcourt, @sweetbabyangels, and Anon friend! I would have sent this message of thanks much sooner, but I unleashed so many crabs that I could not see my dashboard. 😂 and to the people I sent crabs to (mostly anonymously, because #intrigue)--I hope you enjoyed! 😁 🦀

‘‘Today life opened inside me like an egg’’

Avocados are my favorite fruit. Every Sunday my grandfather used to bring me an avocado pear hidden at the bottom of his briefcase under six soiled shirts and the Sunday comics. He taught me how to eat avocados by melting grape jelly and french dressing together in a saucepan and filling the cup of the pear with the garnet sauce. I felt homesick for that sauce. The crabmeat tasted bland in comparison.

‘I’ve got to talk to you, have you got time?’

‘Yes,’ she said, ‘let’s have an orange.’

This Is Just To Say (1938) and The Red Wheelbarrow (1943) by William Carlos Williams, and In a Station of the Metro (1913) by Ezra Pound

In Episode 75, Rachel brings three short and sweet poems to the table! And of course, Griffin is super normal about it.

[Rachel finishes reading This Is Just To Say]

Griffin: It‘s really nice. Is it supposed to be like deeply sexual?

Rachel: [laughs] I don‘t think so! [...] So, William Carlos Williams grew up in Rutherford, New Jersey, and he was a doctor for more than forty years! The poem, The Red Wheelbarrow, he wrote when he was 60 years old. [...] -he used to write his little poems on little prescription pads in between clients.

Griffin: I like that! So he‘d be like "Here's 10 ccs of 'I ate your plums'". Deal with it.

This particular segment is so freaking enjoyable, and not just because of the jokes and goofs; Rachel's insight on the Imagist movement and Ezra Pound's influence on William are so interesting!

If you’re gonna listen to just one of Rachel's segments, please let it be this one, and please stick around until the end for an unexpected outro, which you can listen to over here: Gonna Need Those Plums Back, Though, from 27:50-37:00.

A poem from Jonathan Harker to Count Dracula, left before attempting his escape

This is just to say:

I have taken the gold that was in your bedroom

and which you were probably saving for world domination

Forgive me Or don't

Considering you were going to eat me I don't feel very guilty

And anyway I really want to catch that train

-After William Carlos Williams

so I know this is controversial, but I genuinely feel that if a person of Jewish descent genuinely wants to be a part of the Jewish nation, that is enough for me

If you’re patrilineal and you’re like, do I count as Jewish?? Do you wanna count as Jewish? Come on in! You’re family 💜✡️💜

This is just to say

You have dropped the pears

That were in my shopping basket

Even though they’re green,

They’re probably going to bruise

Bad courtesy clerk, bad

No biscuit for you

#this is just to say #do not drop fruit into shopping bags #what the fuck child #were you raised by wolves
