The Quantum Magician

And, in the very room in which he sat, there were books that could take you anywhere, and things to invent, and make, and build, and break, and all the puzzle and excitement of everything he didn't know—music to play, songs to sing, and worlds to imagine and then someday make real.

The picture was run through home brew image processing software which used a Sobel filter algorithm to select pixels from the original image to run through a false color palette and place them on a black background. The details are in vivid colors, mostly dark blue for edges of the leaves and the background, and red, orange and yellow for the interiors of the leaves.

Seeking refuge in a world with few third spaces, I met a ghost. A giver, a teacher, a lover of words. She welcomed me, asking what she could do for me. She lingered not because she needed help, but because we did. Card catalog, reference desk, ILL: she knew the Deep Magic, for she was a librarian.

It's way past time to be reasonable. It's time to yell and break things. Start with DHS. Break it up. Abolish ICE, fire every employee, prosecute them for their crimes.

With a very small time window, too, just a few months. :)

Helpers seeking help! 👇

It was a windy, rainy February morning. Even the church bells sounded muffled and iron-cold. Old Fox had persuaded Wolf to go for a walk, only a short stroll around the village, down to the Roman bridge and back, but Wolf was miserable and getting more and more growly with every step. The river had swelled to a fierce, churning brown, the ditches were full, the fields were flooded and every footpath was muddy and pierced with deep glassy puddles. Yet within the overcast land were the delicate heralds of spring – white plum and sloe-thorn and wild daffodils and the proud nests high in the elms and the snowdrops and crocuses on the Green and in the churchyard, and stopping at the bridge, Old Fox made Wolf stand and smell the air, that smell of brook water and rich earth and flowers, until he could feel the Great God Pan rise up inside him with all his wild, green, unfettered, woodwosed joyfulness.

Boopsie says, quite haughtily, "Being a mage takes intense commitment and focus!"

-12C high temperature here today. Can't argue with that being cold. Not that I want to argue. It's too cold.

I feel cursed that I understand what you just wrote.

So many things are possible just as long as you don't know they're impossible.

"They're shouting for you," Rhyme said with a smile.

"But I could never have done it," he objected, "without everyone else's help."

"That may be true," said Reason gravely, "but you had the courage to try; and what you can do is often simply a matter of what you will do."

Not very informative as to the job, but what I said the most often, to self-identified Very Bright People was "No, that's not how that works."

A bit more identifiable was "When was the last time you backed it up?"
