Secret Life / La vie secrète - 1928 https://botfrens.com/collections/61/contents/18685

In the 1860s, the veil between the living and the dead was thin. William H. Mumler, the first known spirit photographer, took photographs of the dead that are both a record of longing for someone who will never return and a belief in the power of photography.

Love to be in the library at night.

Course prep and then some preliminary research on the human potential movement for my article and my conference paper proposal.

This week, a chicken tikka pizza and garlic naan with a mango lassi for Course Prep Curry. We're covering annotations, citations, mind maps, and other research nitty gritty. Will I use my own work to both serve as a useful example and to give me a chance to talk about myself? Sources say "maybe."

My long time building super tells me he's planning to move back to Ecuador, not because of the current political situation, but because "this is a terrible country to be old in."

When I realize I'm safe and sound now, back in good old 2025

Big day for local Halloween enjoyers

One of the many reasons I miss Anthony Bourdain is because he used his fame and influence to do things like edit and publish a volume of Hagerty's writings, complete with an introduction.

Watched this in Steve Fredman's poetics class nearly 20 years ago, the same class where I got into Cage's writings. Good memories

I've had a lot of fun with this one over the years. A good deal if you like dice-based gaming and cosmic horror.

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

Congratulations to all the shows that won Emmys, they sound cool, I’ll definitely check them out when I’m done watching 500 episodes of Antiques Roadshow
