Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, so it's time to share this again:

title: No Hemlock Rock (don't kill yourself)
author: Jennifer Michael Hecht

Don't kill yourself. Don't kill yourself.
Don't. Eat a donut, be a blown nut.
That is, if you're going to kill yourself,
stand on a street corner rhyming
seizure with Indonesia, and wreck it with
racket. Allow medical terms.
Rave and fail. Be an absurd living ghost,
if necessary, but don't kill yourself.

Let your friends know that something has
passed, or be glad they've guessed.
But don't kill yourself. If you stay, but are
bat crazy you will batter their hearts
in blooming scores of anguish; but kill
yourself, and hundreds of other people die.

Poison yourself, it poisons the well;
shoot yourself, it cracks the bio-dome.
I will give badges to everyone who's figured
this out about suicide, and hence
refused it. I am grateful. Stay. Thank
you for staying. Please stay. You
are my hero for staying. I know
about it, and am grateful you stay.

Eat a donut. Rhyme opus with lotus.
Rope is bogus, psychosis. Stay.
Hocus Pocus. Hocus Pocus.
Dare not to kill yourself. I won't either.

This week may break me. Here he was as Shakespeare. That face, that voice and that presence! Please rest in peace, #TimCurry. Thank you for everything. And say hello to Dolly 💐 🙏 👑🕯️

Tim Curry as William Shakespeare from the 1978 BBC series. He's holding a fencing sword and looks ready, willing and able to use it. But his eyes and half-smile are his real weapon.

He/she/they.... the appropriate uses of some #pronouns have changed over the years. In time, we also lost the useful wit, unker and git. But what did they allow us to say? Read the interview with Tom Birkett, leader of the NorseMap #Viking research. 👇 @norseincork.bsky.social @ucc.ie #ERCCoG

Wit, unker, git: The lost medieval pronouns of English intimacy

Tales of love and adventure from 1,000 years ago reveal a dazzling range of now-extinct English pronouns. They capture something unique about how people once thought about "two-ness".

But it turns out that most of the things I liked
about this game are not actually specific to it,
or to this dismal format in general. Piling stuff up,
seeing what shape it takes, letting your eyes and
thoughts move around. The end result feels sort of
like a termite mound - a heap of raw material
marbled with the tunnels produced by these aimlessly
gnawing little impulses. But even when the termites
are gone I hope there's still some pleasure from
digging through the ruins they left behind.
