…peace i’ve earned won’t be arbitrarily stolen from me by someone with more power or money? let me talk about this streetlight. several weeks ago, Duke Energy ‘fixed’ a broken street light across the street from my house. instead of a broken light, now this pole sported a miniature sun.
two streetlights: one normal, one apparently containing an ongoing nuclear reaction that lights up the entire neighborhood

i’m in new orleans for halloween. i’m sure it’ll be fine.
a photo of jackson square and st louis cathedral taken at night, from a distance. the sky is dark and cool, the wan streetlight failing to fend off the creeping gloom. happy halloween
