Ever write up a paper and review it only to find ridiculous wording mistakes? I mean the ones where you replace “living” with “leaving” entirely without noticing? I used to scoff at such mistakes, awe at how they can even be made in the first place, much less posted without notice. Lately though, it seems my brain is playing tricks on me…….do I smell maple syrup?

Municipality - political jurisdiction (practical authority granted to a formally constituted legal body) from a sovereign state (defined territory with supreme, independent authority), administrative division (political division with a certain degree of autonomy {independent, self-governing}) having corporate status (separate legal entity) with self-government (autonomy)…

Have you noticed how all words dealing with politics or society really just mean “those dudes have the power”?

DREAMS

I am someone other than myself. I am in a large, atrium-like space. It is not a scary place, rather a curious, otherworldly place. The ceilings are incredibly high and the wall to my left extends far into the darkness. All of the surroundings are black or nearly-black green. I am on a platform with my back near to the wall. The platform extends only a few feet forward from that wall, like a sidewalk. The rest of the ‘floor’ in the room is water. The water is clean and clear yet the floor beneath is dark, so it only seems unclean from a side viewpoint. The air is damp, perhaps cool or perhaps tepid and balmy like a greenhouse or a swamp. It is almost completely silent, but droplets can be heard echoing far in the distance. The darkness of the ceiling and the left wall seem to go on forever, as do the echoes.

Suddenly, the view pans out and floats directly above the water. I can see giant maple leaves deep under the water, laying flat on the floor. The leaves are each as big as a building, and never layered on top of each other. They calmly lay flat on the ground, equally and comfortably separated, evoking an understanding that something laid them this way willfully.

H’s UB apartment was tranquil and modern, entirely absent of noise or mess. All the same, the first moments were somewhat tense due to our uncertainty in whether or not we were overstepping their hospitality, and if she had even agreed to hosting us out of her own free will in the first place. And after only three days, we felt as is said in Russian, to be rohdniye.

“

I kind of look at it this way. I don’t have to know what’s in your pocket to know it’s not a live African bull elephant.

I also do not appreciate people telling me that they have live African bull elephants in their pockets.

“Most of the time it’s just too difficult, too expensive, too scary. It’s only once you’ve stopped that you realize how hard it is to start again. So you force yourself not to want it. But it’s always there, and until you finish it, it will always be unfinished.”
