Higgledy piggledy,

King Ozymandias

rendered in stone with a

strident decree.

Says our dear traveller

(unsentimentally)

"All that remains is his

foot and his knee."

unknought

Higgledy piggledy, turning and turning as gyres are widening, centers unheld,

things fall apart and there’s anarchy everywhere; falcons fly freely and can’t be compelled.

Dimming the tide there is blood in the water and everywhere customs of innocence drowned.

Held by the worst is a fervent intensity; lacking conviction the best run aground.

Surely there must be some kind of apocalypse; surely epiphany must be at hand!

Visions unbidden from Spiritus Mundi of something awakening out on the sand:

Head of a man with a leonine frame and a pitiless gaze that’s as blank as the sun;

sleep became nightmare by passage of centuries long before eons of slumber were done.

Higgledy piggledy, beast of antiquity, imminent, just as the prophecies warn,

shambling slowly but revelatorily, slouching towards Bethlehem, there to be born.

OMG LOOK AT ALL THAT MOSS!

Sorry. Lost control of myself for a moment. This is super cool. Very artistic gardening within an incredibly small space.

It is incredibly important to train yourself to have your first instinct be to look something up.

Don't know how to do something? Look it up.

See a piece of news mentioned on social media? Look it up.

Not sure if something is making it to the broader public consciousness, either because you don't see it much or you see people saying nobody is talking about it? Look it up.

Don't know what a word means? Look it up.

It will make you a better reader and a better writer, but it will also just make you more equipped to cope with the world.

So often, I see people talking about something as though it is the first time anyone has ever acknowledged it, when I've been reading reports about it on the news for months or years. Or I see someone totally misinterpreting an argument because they clearly don't know what a word means--or, on the other hand, making an argument that doesn't make sense because they aren't using words the right way.

Look things up! Check the news (the real news, not random people on social media)! Do your research! You (and the world) will be better for it.

look it up FROM A REAL SOURCE

Not AI

do not trust the overview at the top of the search window. confirm it with a real source by a human before you decide you have all the info you need

AI is Stupid, Exhibit 10^{100}

How does one obtain such power?

Camping fan! Rugged little long-life positionable guys with big battery packs. This one’s about £35

Kinda heavy for camping gear isn’t it

elodieunderglass

Yes and no! It’s certainly situational!

The kind of situations where weight would be a major consideration in the UK are very specific. You could care if you were packing your own gear and hiking spontaneously to an off-grid “wild camping” site; keeping weight down is important, because you are personally schlepping it there and back again. incidentally, though, that makes it the silliest possible situations to be needing a camping fan (why are you hiking off-grid in an amber-warning for heat?!?)

Conversely, in the kind of situations where you need it, weight isn’t a consideration - you brought the car. But, conversely, you’re sort of stuck with the weather, because you’re usually camping to keep costs down while doing (activity). A good deal of UK camping in the summer, where you have to grit your teeth and try to improve the situation because it can’t be helped, are family-type camping/glamping in summer holidays, where you ALWAYS take the car. To be quite honest, your tent is usually next to the car. Carrying is minimally involved.

We are not getting lost in national parks and hiking our way out. We are sleeping in a large and heavy five-person tent in the field behind a pub, with the car a few feet away, to attend a festival 😅

#Some of these have a misting option with a reservoir of water that looks like a small carry on suitcase.#We used one last week during the heat wave at our summer camp and it was such a relief

I’m a big fan of reenactment archaeology. I think there’s a lot to be said for recreating a scenario to better understand decisions made in generations past. Usually there’s an inherent logic to them.

Which is to say, that now that I have a baby of my own, I understand so much better the common cultural practice in which unmarried women wear their hair loose and uncovered, while married women have their hair covered and/or bound back.

I doubt it was just for modesty, oh no. No, my friends, I see now that the reason for this common practice of mothers binding back their hair is because there is nothing, I mean nothing, a baby love more than YANKING EVERY STRAND OF HAIR THAT COMES WITHIN GRABBING DISTANCE OF THEIR STICKY, SWEATY, AND IMPOSSIBLY STRONG LITTLE HANDS.

reading a historical romance novel and reflecting on the way these stories often present woke nobility for the contemporary reader. a big thing is servants. you can’t not have servants in those times but many modern readers think “but I would never have servants. it would be so weird to have servants” and in order to make the protagonists of the story more relatable they are actually friends with the servants. but flip your perspective and think of it from the side of the servants. wouldn’t it be so awful if your boss was always trying to be friends with you. a really common thing you’ll see is the woke baronet having tea in the kitchen with the servants bc he’s not like other baronets. but what if your boss wanted to hang out and talk during your lunch break every day. not so charming when you think about it that way
