Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."
After decades without, I have one of these in my life again. I am ridiculously happy about it.
On Saturday, this floated into my yard. I keep thinking about who it might have belonged to and hoping they are OK. A friend said to frame it, but it was much too fragile. It crumbled to pieces not long after I took the photo. It stopped long enough to be seen and remembered. And now it’s gone.
this is kind of a niche issue but: if you are getting weird and hostile responses that feel a little off, there are some folks on here making accounts that automatically reply to large quantities of posts in a vaguely hostile manner. you can ignore them, and also, it's not personal
These are my favorite shoes. They walk me into the most splendid adventures!
