bee on posies knee-deep in nectar deadlines too busy to pose or photo unfocused uncropped pollinators flock focused on our crops 💚 #haikusaturday #flyday #nativeplants #bloomscrolling💚

photo taken looking up at flowers with blue sky above; painted lady butterfly towards the center drinking from a purple New England aster; goldenrod behind with a wasp on it; to the left, a blurry honeybee flies into the frame beside the asters; I was trying to take a picture of the butterfly, and there were so many fabulous pollinators around that someone was always buzzing around out of focus =)

Warner's hints about the Lord of Brockton's poem, Mamillion, are so wonderful. Her ability to evoke its tenor and some of its scenes and to make you want to read it is just extraordinary. What an incredible writer she is. Yes, all the superlatives, but all earned.

I've been asked: what the earliest agreed archaeological evidence for making beer from cereals? Gobekli Tepe is a good place to start. If you are looking for agreement among archaeologists. Cereals. Feasting. Hot stone technology. Beerstone or calcium oxalate. gobekli-tepe.com/blog/beer-br...

Was Beer Brewed at Göbekli Tepe? The Evidence | Göbekli Tepe

Stone troughs with calcium oxalate residues suggest fermentation. Six vessels held 160+ liters—evidence of brewing thousands of years before written history.

The gothic blurs and transgresses boundaries. And I'll be honest here, I'm just talking generally this is what I find a bit lacking in some of the resurgence right now. The gothic is messy, not neat. You come face to face with the monster within you. Lots of aesthetics, I want more am I the villain?

KNOCK GO GENTLE

round here
knock gentle
better yet holler

anything made of wood
termites have
probly obliterated

holeyer than your mama’s
teeth on the nightstand
that kind of fit so you share them

the buckets catching drips
from the ceiling
themselves leak through rags onto the floor

if there was a doctor in these parts
they’d tell you speaking of holes
your liver weren’t none too good neither
