I Don't Remember If I Ever Posted About This Before, I'm Sure I Mentioned It Somewhere, At Some Point--

I don't remember if I ever posted about this before, I'm sure I mentioned it somewhere, at some point-- but on the note of Bonnie's H.O.R.S.E. being used to commit actual forgery when it makes shillings. Surely this isn't legal, because why would forgery be legal anywhere? And this is done so blatantly, so why hasn't Bonnie gotten into trouble about it?

I've always imagined that it's the mayor. He's benefitting from this somehow, maybe getting shillings out of it himself, or maybe it's simply been good for the local economy. He's the one pulling strings to keep Bonnie's work beyond the reach of the arm of the law, or has found a loophole somewhere that makes it technically not completely illegal. But I prefer the idea that the shillings are covered up as 'donations' from anonymous people to support the recycling process.

The fact that MC also gets shillings out of this - aside from being friends with Bonnie - is in part, likely a bribery to keep them quiet about it too.

This is why we can't spam the shillings out of the H.O.R.S.E. despite having a lot of recyclables on hand. We got our cut for the day, too much at once would look suspicious.

Residual Haunting, Catherine Bertola

‘Residual Hauntings’ is a triptych of photographs originally commissioned for The Bronte Parsonage Museum, Haworth UK. The images are of the artist enacting domestic rituals and actions performed by the Bronte sisters - as described in written records held at the museum. The actions include pacing around the dining room table, running up and down the stairs and sweeping the kitchen floor. These ghostly vignettes reanimate the spaces of the Parsonage, recreating a sense of the movement that previously filled the room.

When One Is So Far from Home, Life Is a Mix of Fact and Fiction

No one should hold that against you. / It’s a means of survival. / Sometimes I thought my best talent / was taking a skinny story, adding wings and a tail. / Dressing it in a woolen Bedouin cloak / with stitching around the edges. / Putting a headdress on it. / Making a better picture. / Your mother got mad at me sometimes / for telling a story differently but it wasn’t a lie, / just a story in different clothes / with other things emphasized. / My own mother dressed up stories for 106 years / that last winter she rode in her bed / like a boat, sitting up to sleep. / Maybe it’s our duty to be shaped / a hundred times by the same stories. / We think we’re telling them / but really they’re keeping us alive, / memory oxygen breathed out and in.

Mystery Inc. but it’s the 1890s

Who had late Victorian Scooby Doo on their 2024 bingo card? Hmm?

The idea came to me when I was thinking about Sherlock Holmes and then remembered the iconic mystery solving gang hehe

Just found out my facebook birding group is public because my cousin (a lawyer who is not into birds) casually said to me “saw you couldn’t identify a willet the other day… pretty embarrassing”
