"As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly. You leave marks behind and in return life and travel leaves marks on you. Most of the time those marks on your body or on your heart are beautiful. Often though, they hurt" ~Anthony Bourdain

In Finland people believed that fern bloomed only once in a century and it happened on Midsummer night. Person who would find the flower would get whatever he wants. The flower would form a seed which would make its owner immortal.

We're constantly told that the humanities are failing because they're irrelevant or politicized or don't prepare students for careers, but I wonder if the truth is that they're perceived as a threat by the managerial-consultancy class driving the cuts on both sides of the Atlantic.

The golden, solar shaped blooms of St John's wort or Scare Devil were gathered on Midsummer eve and scattered along, or suspended from, thresholds to drive away demons ☀️🌼🧿 🎨 mid-15th century 'Tractatus de herbis'

In Celtic and European folklore, the dandelion is a potent solar symbol tied to Midsummer rituals. Historically used for divination, protection, and faerie magic, the yellow bloom mirrors the sun and was believed to reach its energetic peak during the longest day of the year.

On Midsummer nights, when supernatural spirits, fairies, and demons were at their most active, ferns were put above doorways and on roofs. Their unfurling fronds were said to protect households from evil.

Welsh folklore tells us to that Midsummer Eve/ St John’s Eve is an important occasion for the Cŵn Annwn: "These dogs went in procession through the lonely lanes and byways of Wales guided by their master, a dark gigantic figure with a horn around his neck." Art: A McBride via Mark Rees

St John's Eve is 6/23. It's celebrated in different ways across the world, but the most common theme is the burning of bonfires. Bonfire comes from banefire, which used to be for burning bones.

I do love that AI inadvertently confirms that our brains work like a muscle, too — use it or lose it. In this way relying on AI is like using a robot to lift weights, like running a marathon in a Honda Civic. You get nothing out of it.

The dead have their lithic lookouts, their proxy eyes with which to scan our world. We are watched by a mechanism of stone surveillance that does not sleep and is constant in its judgement of us. For some, paranoia is undying. –

You go to that fancy Italian restaurant — and who’s in the kitchen? Latinos. You go to that fancy French restaurant — who’s in the kitchen? Latinos. Latinos grow it, pick it, clean it, cook it, serve it, and do the dishes. We are the backbone. Don’t fuck with us, we’re busy.

Bluesky is where you talk to people who read books. Instagram is where you talk to people who are too addicted to Instagram to read books. Facebook is where you talk to people who still buy books sometimes but usually just for Christmas and only if they don't have too many words in them.

I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible. Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness. I just don’t get it.
