Lots of interesting stuff in Ruby Tandoh's All Consuming, but this quote really resonated with me: "To really love something is to allow it the space to be complicated" #booksky #writingcommunity
Photograph of text from All Consuming by Ruby Tandoh. The words "To really love something is too allow it the space to be complicated" are highlighted

Tumblr screenshot of a post by abbiistabbii that reads:

The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

Soft tears of rain come to the field. The ghost soil answers their call. Voices of the buried dead drift towards its edge, whispering harsh prophecies. For this is strange England and its conversation of constant augury. This is the now bullied spirits of then and tomorrow. – #DAKilroy, 1982

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

Targeting civilians would, in fact, be a war crime. This man is deranged, unstable, and unfit to lead. He thinks this is a game. Republicans need to find their backbone, rein him in, and end this reckless war before more innocent lives are lost and this escalates into something far worse.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

Trying something a little different for #PoemsAbout #consent — that's what it's all about, right? Inspired by the very windy day we are having and that James Joyce book I never finished...
So much water with nowhere to go,
riled up and crashing into itself, end
less ache to rush across the sand, to
howl east with the wind as far as it will
blow. I'm tired of waiting too—slip
out from behind glass and let wind
lap me up, yes I say yes take me 
wherever you go.

Some villages hold their hurts with fearsome grip. Stones leak stories, shadows are spirit-stalked. A visitor may find them picturesque, but the resident knows them as harsh haunted. Mortwell is such a village. It is a risk of ghosts. – #CJosiffe

This repeats yet another pattern from the Iraq War. When the Iraqis did not behave as the Americans wanted — without the deference and gratitude that a foreign military occupier felt it was due — they became targets.

The lake, feeling #lethargic, turned her head and covered herself up with sky. No one will find me here, she murmured, startling a flock of Buffleheads who thought that they were flying. #vss365 #thingstowriteabout #disguise
Picture of a very still lake in winter. The line between sky and water is hazy and the blue of the water reflects the bright blue of the sky. There are a few small bits of ice scattered like clouds on the surface of the water

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.
Six accounts on Polymarket made around $1 million in profit by betting on the US to strike Iran by Feb. 28, according to analytics firm Bubblemaps SA. The accounts were all freshly created in February and had only ever placed bets on when US strikes might occur. Some of their shares were purchased, in some cases at roughly a dime apiece, hours before the first explosions were reported in Tehran.

When the World Stands Still

It happens very rarely. The earth’s axis screeches and comes to a stop. Everything stands still then: storms, ships and clouds grazing in the valleys. Everything. Even horses in a meadow become immobile as if in an unfinished game of chess.
And after a while the world moves on. The ocean swallows and regurgitates, valleys send off steam and the horses pass from the black field into the white field. There is also heard the resounding clash of air against air.
