yeah so about the memory palace. I guess you were using these -what did you call them? Whatever. I guess you were using all these trinkets to find your way around, but it was just getting really cluttered in there. Seemed like it got a little fuller every time I opened the door, and honestly. yeah i walked around in your memory palace obviously how else would I know about the clutter, let's stay on topic-- anyway the rooms really weren't being used to their full potential and i think the sculptures were blocking the light. So I put them on ebay yeah. No you can't take them back now they're already halfway across the country and besides I think that's illegal. That's theft. I'm sure you'll think of another way to remember all that shit you don't even like.
Have you considered tenants? There's really plenty of room in there now. Did you know there's a housing crisis.

I think it may be time for me to take a step back from online for a while
I have so much else I want to do and so much kess free time than I used to and I think being online is mostly a time waster/form of pica for me these days

Field Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis). One of the traditional names for this plant in parts of England was "Old Man's Nightcap" - the old man being the Devil! It was given pejorative names like this because it grows over crops, making harvesting difficult.

First-in-years attempt at painting wasn't great BUT I am reassured that I can still do it
am trying to start painting again and I wonder if there are interesting effects to be had with retroreflective glass beads ...

"Evening on River Angara", linocut by Pyotr Baranov (1979)
it'll be interesting to see what happens with orthodox christianity in the US over the next, say, fifty years or so
currently there are many overlapping jurisdictions which were originally organized when groups of people from traditionally-orthodox countries immigrated to the US and brought the church with them
but it's well known that by the third generation (so, grandchildren of the people who immigrated), the language and culture of the old country are mostly gone and people don't much identify with the national identity any more
so the current, mostly ethnicity- and language-based structure will probably go away. already, it's common and normal for lay people (but rarely clergy) to jurisdiction-hop, either for aesthetic reasons or because they've moved and, oh look, the closest orthodox church to me is ukrainian (or whatever) and not greek
english is already becoming much more common in church services, and (depending on the region) parishes that are nominally [insert nationality here] often don't have much of that national character because:
it's the only orthodox church in the area and attracts people of many traditionally-orthodox cultures
it has a large proportion of culturally-american converts
third-generation orthodox young people are pretty assimilated to US culture (though in my admittedly narrow experience, third-generation young people often don't show up much at all)
based on some statistics I read somewhere (so like take this with a grain of salt), immigrant communities with a strong sense of cultural cohesion (so, the more recent ones) generally have very good retention within the associated faith, at least into the second generation. but as the cultural identification tends to fade by the third generation, so too does retention within the religion. I'm not sure what other factors may go into this - eg, it seems like catholicism and lutheranism have pretty much shed their "ethnic" associations, whereas some of the orthodox jurisdictions in the US seem to be clinging hard. but perhaps that's just part of the process ... ? the weird organizational structure here probably plays a part, too
