thinking about the 2017 eclipse again. you know what fucked me up? besides the obvious spectacle of it all? the new moon is always *right there.* once a month the moon rises with the sun, passes overhead at noon, sets with the sun. but you can't see her until she steps into the spotlight.

lmao the local tarot shop owner just rescued me from trying to interpret my new Thoth deck with the actual Book of Thoth. he was like "you will want this eventually but the learning curve is way too steep. try the DuQuette" and he was absolutely right

I've been experimenting with sestinas with 4x4 and 5x5 lines instead of 6x6, and IT TURNS OUT that n-inas with 3x+1 stanzas (4, 7, 10, 13-inas) have a fixed end-word that never rotates, at line (2n+1)/3. In the 4-ina (quartina?) it's at line 3. Not sure what to do with this but it's interesting.

There is a weird building halfway along your commute. Every time you pass it you look at it and think, "That place looks weird. I wonder what it is? I should find out." By the time you get where you're going you have forgotten about it. Every time Everyday example of antimemetic shielding

22 hours later, I still have a couple of pinprick welts on my hand and my right knee is a bit prickly-tender. For some reason my emotional response is "wow, respect! stinging nettles are cool"

I went for a hike and accidentally tromped through a lot of stinging nettle and now my legs feel... spicy? I was expecting it to be more obviously sharp-prickly, or maybe glowy-sunburny, but it's distinctly capsaicin-like.
