momento vivire

PROUD TO ANNOUNCE that i will be doing my laundry today. Thank you for all those who helped me get to this point in life #stayhardunlessitsdownysoft

In an archived picture on Google maps, my wife's grandfather is still alive and capable of bringing the trash back from the curb; my own father's car sits beside the house where he died with the bedroom windows open for a breeze. In the back of our freezer, the last soup my mother made sits collecting frost, and hanging from the top handle of my filing cabinet my first dog's collar still jingles every time I open the drawer.

Yes

louis' narration: it was dusk. the smell of petrichor still lingered in the air, greeting me as i woke and pondered my new existence as a vampire, a creature of the night. as the sun set and gave way to new darkness, so too had something awakened in me, a bloodlust that could not be sated. was i now man or monster? or something in between, a perversion of even the natural order in which all other beings reside?

Wait. So the Trump administration really cut funding to the program that would research and respond to the spread of New World Screwworm past the Darién Gap because they blamed it on climate change, and left the joint international program to Mexico and the Central American Countries... And are panicking now that it's reached Texas, and only now that the flies have already made it all the way from Panama to Texas are they building New facilities to produce the sterile male flies needed to eradicate the pest?

New World screwworm had been eradicated from the US since the 1960s, Elon Musk brought it back in a year.
