@chuckwendig.bsky.social reading this WaPo article and something about it is really familiar but I can’t put my finger on why. wapo.st/4rytWEN
Screenshot from the news article which reads:

When Montserrat started his oak nursery, he looked for the trees his grandmother had spoken of. "I traveled to a lot of rural places in the Iberian peninsula and Balearic Islands, and spoke to many old people who'd say,
"That oak over there is sweet, he says.
"Now we have plantations to cultivate the sweet acorn, not as a new nut but a recovered one."

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

we roasted carrots the other night and my wife put them away and this is how I found them the next day and I’m not really okay with this
Photograph of carrots in a food storage container. The carrots are curled to fit and it makes them look like not carrots. There are some other container lids on the countertop but seriously it’s about these curved carrots.

A little over a year ago I decided to get back into reading for pleasure. Doing good by my standards, got 60 books read so far this year and a ton more I’m excited about. One unfortunate side effect is reading all this makes me think about writing. I’ve not done creative writing in years now.

@juliaelliott.bsky.social I was in the Asheville airport recently and when I saw this sculpture I stopped dead like “what in the great Romie Futch is that?!”
Sculpture of a boar’s head that is made from recycled materialsArtist’s photo and bio which reads

MARCIA MOORE
Marcia has dedicated over 13 years to her theme of exploration as a forensic/research artist, meticulously reconstructing the faces of ancient peoples and illuminating their narratives. Her work not only demonstrates exceptional skill but also pays homage to the diverse cultures of our past.
In 2022, Marcia expanded her creative pursuits by repurposing discarded bike tires into intricate art pieces, layering the treads to reflect the anatomical structures of North Carolina's wildlife and ancient folklore.
Through this innovative endeavor, she continues to reclaim both historical significance and materials, fostering a deeper understanding of our shared heritage and environmental stewardship.
