One of the things I did during the pandemic was a deep dive into Greek Mythology. Hesiod, then "Homer" The Illiad and Odyssey describe the colors of the sea as "wine-dark" over and over again... So I asked myself: what is up with all the "wine-dark"?????

NEW: Seattle might declare a civil emergency to help LGBTQ (mostly trans) people fleeing red states, so I looked for a Texas angle. An organizer told me that Texas is #1 among trans people looking to relocate: "The baseline hostility to their existence is unbearable."

I am reading "1984" for the first time. Today, I read the appendix, "The Principles of Newspeak." An important thing "Newspeak" does is a reduction of the meaning of words so that they are stripped of historical meaning. Words only reflect the meaning as condoned by the "Party."

This is such incredible bullshit. I am alive, thriving, and writing books on health policy/politics thanks to antidepressants. Antidepressants aren't for everyone, but they can be literal lifesavers. Attacking their prescribing & use is stigmatizing and dangerous.

We can all be critical of the world, but there is a difference between informed and uninformed criticism. Personal insults introduced early in a dialectic are an obvious indicator of an uninformed critical position.

In Jule Korneffel’s most recent exhibition, the artist weaves her interest in light with Roman mythology, Italian Renaissance paintings, and color relationships. Korneffel “both memorializes and celebrates the fading of the light,” writes art critic John Yau.

but here’s the Treasury of Atreus at Mycenae. It’s a tholos or beehive tomb built for elite burial (c1300-1250BC). Pictured is the processional entrance with its huge door & the corbelled dome. Until the Roman period, it’s thought to have been the largest dome in the world

It would be reasonable for the governments of Earth to have a treaty that the tidally locked side of the moon be "environmentally" protected. That is, that the view of the moon from Earth not be obstructed by unnatural constructions on the surface by human beings.
