'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

My son stepped in some nettles and felt pretty sorry for himself. My mom: I could ask chatgpt for suggestions. My son: I'd rather cry

Charleville is lovely btw, and Im glad we got stuck here rather than some hole, but two nights has been enough

Btw did you know the famous French poet Rimbaud was born in Charleville? At 16 he moved to Paris and was taken into the home of his idol, Paul Verlaine, who, despite being ten years his senior and married, started a "relationship" with him. Rimbaud was eventually ejected from the home ..

.. and hope we'll stay on our own dime in Charleville until Friday when the car might be repaired. I've been zen about it so far but this is getting ridiculous

Mam, the Dutch car owners association, ANWB @anwbverkeer.bsky.social is fucking useless. Our car broke down in France on Sunday and even though its been more than 48 hrs and they're required to provide us with alternative transportation, they're trying to weasel their way out of it..

Ended up in Charleville-Mézières because of a broken car, and it's a lovely town!

Interesting world building detail, in the north of France (effectively the low countries) the classic French buildings in the town center have brick walls instead of the usual sandstone

I wrote about the Nolan Odyssey for the LRB. I'll summarize some of my main points below, in case you don't feel like reading all that. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

if elected president, i will dissolve the Department of the Navy and hand their funding, and nuclear fleet over to the Internet Archive. They'll know what to do.

Was listening to the birds and watching Merlin identify them, when I heard a loud "MOOOOH" from a nearby field and I half expected a cow to pop up in the list
