My little tenants hard at work on the property. #BeaverLife #NatureConservation #WildlifeWonder
Mostly just reading your-all posts, trying to resist the urge to post myself. If I don't follow back or otherwise misbehave, it's almost certainly not a deliberate thing. I just don't know how to use this thing.

She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse. ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.

A bit late to this #smallpoemsunday party, just seeing this post Wednesday, anyway here's the first of Wendy Cope's Waste Land limericks In April one seldom feels cheerful; Dry stones, sun and dust make me fearful; Clairvoyantes distress me, Commuters depress me— Met Stetson and gave him an earful.
I took a holiday near Ballyconneely and took some bog photos with a camera I got last year and haven't had a chance to play with yet.

Will spend the rest of my life considering how we were rushed into "going paperless" for the good of the environment only for the next generation of digital tools to become far worse for the environment.

These lies are like their father that begets them, gross as a mountain, open, palpable. Why, thou clay-brain’d guts, thou knotty-pated fool, thou whoreson, obscene, greasy tallow-catch—
FWIW I am fairly sure I've never even seen a Cracker Barrel establishment. Just checked their store locator for the places I've lived the last few decades and, indeed, they're around but kinda out in sub/exurbs, would have to be looking for them Just a data point

...even when it's going against quality.)
(sorry occurs to me it may seem like i was trying to refute you when i quoted Pound, but was really trying to give a smarty-pants quote in support of what you said. but then, granting that "taste" & "quality" are different things, i do think taste is also its own thing, not to be scorned...
(from memory, sorry): "A man who has climbed Mont Blanc may prefer Dorsetshire to Switzerland, but will not think that the Peak [in Dorsetshire] is the highest mountain in Europe" -- Ezra Pound, in (i think) the "ABC of Reading". But the preference is also its own thing...
..after this it gets long-winded, so stopping here!
On the whole I agree with yourself & GFM here, but also...turtlenot has their own taste, & that is its own thing. Can't deny one's own taste. (Mr T w/ the "ignorance" remark is maybe trying to make the point that you're rebutting, & i get off the bus there. but before that, there is something imo)
Yes, agreed. But also...look, Mr turtlenot made the remark about "sign of ignorance," and on that I expect I would agree with yourself (if I'd read Vuong, but I have not). Taste does not reduce arguments, or refute judgments of value. Still, it is its own thing, & judgments don't refute it either
when i was a kid i overheard a librarian dismissing something, Hardy Boys i think, which i’d read & enjoyed. pretty sure that nowadays, i would dismiss Hardy Boys too. but liked them then. no substitute for your own judgment, about a book
haven't read, have no idea, but that's a good phrase
It's profoundly saddening to read that AP will no longer be assigning or running book reviews because readers don't engage with them enough and they take too much effort to plan and assign. People complain about critics as gatekeepers; wait until all that's left is marketing.
So disappointing when a vacation falls short. Got in the ocean at least, that's something

The Trolley Opportunity
*i* think that the issue isn’t the words, it is the substantive positions. no amount of language self policing will satisfy someone who just disagrees with, say, legal protection from gender discrimination
jeffried studiously avoids all of the verboten words and yet still sounds like a management consultant.

Relevant to discussion elsewhere in TL - William Faulkner: classic short story/novella, "The Bear" - Ocean Vuong: occurrences of word "bear" on wikipedia page: 0 (zero) advantage Faulkner

It's bizarre but unsurprising to see so many people waiting with bated breath to see what Ghislaine Maxwell will say to get a pardon whilst ignoring the testimonies of the many women she exploited in a massive sex trafficking operation linked to Trump.
About last re-post: Give Dolly the Literature prize too. (& Chemistry for Chef Andres!)
