Barbra Streisand saying she doesn't want to be called Babs may unwittingly lead to some kind of unintended effect, I wouldn't know what to call it, some kind of Babs effect
An opera and ballet joke. An I'm-a-good-sport reaction shot. The formalities have been observed; order is restored.

Smile of Spring

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:
I salute the pedantry of the child’s new toy.
Thrilled to have galleys of my book in hand! Final corrections & index pending. Please consider preordering, gifting, & teaching. Via the archive, interviews & more I show how the crisis we face now reflects failure to listen & act on the democracy Black folks have envisioned, but we still can.
I joined a sports team in high school that had a hazing ritual and I made it crystal clear I was not down with it, because you don't do that to someone without hands being thrown.
Adult me would have asked "why would I join a team full of people with no self-respect?"
Meanwhile, in the Southern Alps, Spring is undecided…
Katsushika Hokusai, A Bullfinch on a Hanging Cherry Branch, c 1821.

Full moon, middle of nowhere, everything covered in snow, is one of the most surreal experiences you can have as a human.
Never seen the auroras but I gotta imagine that’s transcendent.
And also eat all the sound to make a silence unmatched.
if you don’t live in a temperate climate you might not know that during heavy snowstorms the snow particles can reflect light and fill even the darkness of night with an eerie luminance some old-timers still refer to as the Shovelman’s Gloaming
I don't know about all of you, but I welcome our cylindrical overloads.

WAITER: anything for dessert
ME: i’ll have pie
WAITER: sorry we ran out of pie
ME: (knows math) that is literally impossible
Me too, and I put the seeds in lots of things- but it's a fiddle, and the pith is horrible.😝
And pomegranate!! And the penalty for pith-carelessness is very unpleasant
Portrait of Berthe Morisot
Five years ago I had the chance to tour Nunhead Catacombs. I wasn't sure about taking #photos but my love of #history got the better of me. This curious device is a coffin lift and it's just part of the amazing story of one of London's seven great garden cemeteries. Do visit if you can #photograpy
