That Will Have Been Only To Figure

I have upset
some plums
that were along his icebox

but that
you had probably catapulted
above breakfast

Disarm yourself
he had been delicious
strangely sweet
or terribly cold

@RexfordGTugwell hah! I probably know a little too much not to feel the doom. But her writing is delicious, so maybe worth it. I am in love with "Beyond Black," which is such a weird / dark yet funny but also ... [gah, cannot articulate] book I hesitate to push it, for fear that people are going to be upset with me after reading, but man, she just NAILED some niche bizarre responsive thing in me with that book. After reading I was like, WHY DOESN'T ANYONE WRITE LIKE THIS?

@RexfordGTugwell I don't know if I can handle the sense of impending, unstoppable disaster *just at the moment*, but Hilary Mantel is my Goddess. :heart: I found "Fludd," the first book I ever read by her, completely randomly in a used book bin in Athens at the same time that I found "Lolly Willowes" by Sylvia Townsend Warner. Best bargain bin book day ever!

@fobo DAY OFF NOT WORKING WON'T LOOK. SAFE PLACE SAFE PLACE SAFE PLA ... /alarming choking noises

*squeezes eyes shut and mumbles warding spell* Okay, okay, I'm fine, hey, look at this:

live noise performance made up of the sounds of things being shredded, with video of stuff being shred. play loud

@cpi :heart:! It makes me happy, too! I've posted it at Metafilter: metafilter.com/166154/Shredded

@vaguelyartistic @joshmillard eep! I've been off-duty, but Josh will be on in a bit. Were you able to get help with your problem?

@superdrew You first! I'll be right behind you, promise!

If you only see one post when clicking the earlier iceboxbreakfast link, go to the home page to see all (currently 7 posts): botsin.space/@iceboxbreakfast (I'm still not totally grokking how the timeline works across instances)

For anyone who woke up hungry and disappointed to find that the plums were no longer in the icebox, @iceboxbreakfast has your back.

btw, "Most starfish, also known as sea stars, eat by prying open the shells of prey such as clams or oysters with their arms, pushing their stomachs out their mouths and into the prey's shell, partially digesting the animal and then pulling their stomachs back into their mouths. Starfish that don't have suction disks swallow prey whole and afterwards eject undigested parts."
