La paradoja del poema excelente radica en su impublicabilidad.

"And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this is also vexation of the spirit. For in much wisdom is much grief, and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow" (Ecclesiastes 1: 17-18, KJV)

"Deseoso es el que huye de su madre" [Full of desire is the man who flees from his mother] José Lezama Lima (Tr. Nathaniel Tarn)

"[The biblical character] Jacob in general is represented as a border crosser, a man of liminal experiences" -Robert Alter

My PhD defense was one year ago today. It doesn't feel real! #AcademicSky

"Feelings are like kids in a car / you can't put them in the trunk, but let them drive, and you won't go far" - Thundercat

"The thoughtless man, even if he can recite a large portion of the law, but is not a doer of it, has no share in the religious life, but is like a cow heard counting the cows of others" -The Dhammapada, translation by Max Müller

The fifth book I read in 2026 (I finally read White Nights)

I really can't recommend Aldi enough to people who find themselves bursting into tears at the grocery store over food prices. I somehow got almost two weeks of groceries for $146 today, including canned drinks. Yes, it was more beans and pasta than usual, but getting out for under $150 was magical.

it sounds so simple/boring/etc, but when I get up and leave my phone in the other room and make coffee and put on a record and look outside, maybe read something . . . the entire day is better and my mind and soul feel significantly more human.

On this day in Horror/Fantasy History, BEETLEJUICE was released in 1988.

"It occurred to me that if one wanted to crush, to annihilate a man utterly, to inflict on him the worst possible punishment, so that the most ferocious murderer would shudder at the thought, one need only give him work that was absolutely useless and nonsensical" - Fyodr Dostoevsky

The tailer for Project Hail Mary made me think it would be Arrival with the sense of humor of 21 Jump Street. The movie was exactly what I wanted (with quite a few emotional moments). Highly recommend. #Film

I really enjoyed "Is This Thing on?," and I think it should have received at least a few Oscar nominations. #Film

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...
