GARLAND GETS UPPER HAND in DAY 2 MILITARY TRIBUNAL. March 28, 2024
JAG graciously gave detainee Merrick Garland an extended weekend, resuming the military tribunal against him on Tuesday instead of Monday, primarily because Vice Admiral Darse E. Crandall had to manage personal affairs. Garland received the books he had requested, tomes dealing with military justice and federal case law, searching for a litigious loophole that might exonerate him or spare him a trip to the gallows. Finding none, he asked for a second postponement, saying he needed only four more days of study to mount a practical defense. Admiral Crandall denied Garland’s request on the grounds that he had spent 60 days in custody, during which he could have memorized voluminous legal volumes and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Upon resuming proceedings Tuesday morning, Admiral Crandall showed the panel a sheet of paper criminal investigators had found in Garland’s home desk drawer following his arrest.
“It’s good for us, detainee Garland, that you never heard of an invention called the shredder,” Admiral Crandall remarked. “Or even a match. I thought you guys were pros at destroying incriminating evidence. Amateur hour.”
The three-year-old document was seemingly a draft and did not name the intended recipient. The context was abundantly transparent: Garland called Trump his “special project” and wrote that he and his Justice Department would move mountains to topple Trump and the Trump Empire.
“Dealing with Donald Trump is the mission, and let’s be clear–if we don’t take care of him, he’ll take care of us. I’ll embroil him so deep in litigation that he’ll wish he retired to golf. I’ll defame him and seize his assets, including his precious Mar-a-Lago. He’ll be left in ruin. I’ll bury him so deep in criminal court he’ll go bankrupt defending himself. At the same time, we’ll hit his allies and adherents, particularly MAGA and evangelicals, and make them regret the day they pledged to support him. I have the authority to make it a reality. After he suffers long enough and wishes he was dead, maybe I’ll grant him that. But not before he understands the word’s true meaning,” the Admiral read aloud.
Garland objected with an implausible argument: He said he had not authored the page.
“It’s fake! You made it up,” he barked.
But Admiral Crandall insisted that handwriting analysts had authenticated the cursive script as Garland’s. “You don’t like President Trump, do you, detainee Garland?” the Admiral asked.
“He’s not President Trump; he’s Mister Trump, and that’s being generous. What kind of fucked up world are you people living in?” Garland said, his face suddenly red with anger. “Joseph Biden is president. Oh, I’m tired, Crandall,” Garland said.
“If justice is fair, you’ll get a permanent nap very soon,” the Admiral said.
With handcuffed hands Garland removed his eyeglasses and laid them gently on the table. He glared at the Admiral. His eyes were full of evil.
“Eric, Admiral Crandall,” Garland said. “Wouldn’t you like to know who shot Eric?”
“Excuse me?” the Admiral said.
“Eric. General Eric Smith. Wouldn’t you like to know who zapped him?”
Admiral Crandall stepped toward Garland. “I doubt you know anything about that. It’s not in your wheelhouse.”
“It was in Lloyd’s, Admiral Crandall, and he told me everything before you had him killed,” Garland said with a smirk. “It was a warning shot, fire across the bow. If we wanted, he would’ve died hitting the ground.”
“We didn’t kill Austin. Deep State intelligence is lacking,” Adm. Crandall said. “And if your intelligence were reliable, you’d know we caught the Gen. Smith’s shooter. In fact, he’s here at GITMO.”
“Did you? And is he?” Garland teased. “Maybe you caught who we put out there for you to catch,” Garland said.
“I’m not negotiating with you,” the admiral said sternly.
Garland laughed through parted teeth without moving his lips. “Not even for the lives of the soldiers and Marines we hid where you can’t find them. You know the ones, Admiral. If anything unfortunate happens to me, Admiral, they’ll know, and the service men and women we have will die painfully. And when we’re done with them, well, then there’s the civilian J6 insurrectionists. We might not be able to take them all, but if I hang, so will some of them, Jeffrey Epstein style.”
“You’re bluffing. If you could pull that card, you would’ve done it by now,” the Admiral said.
“Consider your position carefully, Admiral. You’ll release me and 32 others from jail here and in Guam. I don’t care what happens to others. You might want to check with your friends before making a rash decision,” Garland said.
Admiral Crandall stepped away from the defense table but maintained eye contact with Garland. He peered intently at the Deep Stater, as though judging the veracity of his threat. After a while, he said, “This tribunal stands in recess until tomorrow. Guards, escort the detainee to his cell.”
“See, I got my postponement,” Garland taunted.
A GITMO source told Real Raw News the Admiral used the time to speak with General Smith and the White Hat council, though we haven’t yet learned the outcome of those conversations.
We will post a follow-up upon receiving it.

2024.05.21 09:37 CounterfeitEternity Deciphering 1910 marriage record

Deciphering 1910 marriage record
This is the marriage record of my wife’s 2x great-grandparents, Marianna Dziadek and Paul (Paweł) Warzecha on 11 January 1910, from a Lutheran parish register in Sohrau (now Żory, Poland).
We’ve had no luck deciphering the name of the city it says they’re from, nor the note below the record that seemingly mentions the name “Nowak.”
The second image shows another note on the other side of the page. While I can clearly read “Baranowitz,” a nearby town (now Baranowice), we can’t figure out what the abbreviation means.
The cursive seems to be a confusing mix of Latin and Kurrent characters. Any help is appreciated! Here’s a link to the full quality scan.

2024.05.21 05:29 Original_Exercise968 Bright Ideas for Non-illuminated to Stand Out

While digital signs are currently quite popular, non-illuminated signs can be just as noticeable and effective with the right design choices. On top of this, non-illuminated signage will cost less, you won’t have to fiddle with complicated LED boards, there’s no need for electricity, and there are fewer restrictions governing their installation.
Non-illuminated signs come in many forms, but unlike digital signs, they will not have an internal light source.

Types of Non-Illuminated Signage

Reasons to Use Non-Illuminated Signs

Where Are Non-Illuminated Signs Found or Used?

Since non-illuminated signs are known for being versatile and cost-effective, you will find them used in dozens of ways. The most popular places you will see non-illuminated signage includes:
Really, there is no limit to what you can do with non-illuminated signage. Making effective signage, however, comes down to a few key practices that will be discussed in the following section.

Tips for Making Non-Illuminated Signs Stand Out

1. Consider the Material
Non-illuminated signs can be made from a wide variety of materials depending on the placement and purpose. Here are some of the more popular options to consider.
2. Sign Placement
Consider the height and angle of your sign. Signs should be placed so as to align with customer viewing angles, which are typically around 45 degrees above or below average eye level.
If you’re mounting a sign outdoors, you’ll want to choose a spot that gets plenty of sunlight during the day. Without an interior light source on the sign itself, you will need to consider the available light sources in and around your business. If well-lit areas do not exist around your building, consider adding additional spot lighting for the sign.
3. 3-Dimensional Signs
Creating a sign with dimension will help it pop. Our eyes are drawn to depth and contrast, and a well-designed dimensional signage can be as effective as an illuminated sign.
Dimensional signs are useful on storefronts, as well as any other indoor or outdoor locations. There are many three dimensional options, but the main types include
4. High Contrast
High contrast in sign design is always important, but especially so with non-illuminated signage. Contrasting colors are more likely to be seen at a distance or on a cloudy day. A sign’s readability owes a lot to the contrast of the text color against the background. Choose light or bright colors on a dark background or dark text against a white or light background.
You should also consider the building itself where the sign will hang. It needs to be in contrast with its surroundings. When hanging a storefront sign on a black building, a black or dark-colored sign is never going to be noticed.
5. Font Choice
Choice of font will also affect a sign’s readability, particularly when it comes to non-illuminated signs. You may wish to choose a unique and stylish complicated font to set your business apart, but simple fonts are the easiest to read. A swirly cursive font may not be legible to potential customers walking by.
Quality signage does the job of bringing attention to your business, attracting customers, and sharing helpful information and directions. If you decide to go with non-illuminated signs, keep these tips in mind to make sure your signs shine just as bright as illuminated options.

2024.05.20 15:58 itssayeed Interesting detail at the end of book 2 chapter 6

!! Please beware spoilers for the newest update. If you don't want to be spoiled before the official translation comes out, I'd leave this post right now !!
(I'm trying to gather and type down the information that I was able to understand with the help of a translator. It seems to be an intricate and quite complex topic so please correct me if I got something wrong or add information yourself in case you also followed this development! 😊 This post was created in order to discuss it in English as well)
Vlada posted something very interesting on her TG channel last night, thus opening up quite a discussion among her readers. It concerns the ending of chapter 6 where we will get to see several characters that we've met along our journey sing a lullaby in Esther's dream. And before she made that post, many readers had no idea that there was a chance for a different ending to the lullaby. One variation ends with young Esther and the other with an old woman.
Important to note: at this point in time, we do not know what the impact of both endings are with regard to future chapters or ultimately the ending of the entire series!
Here are the two variations:
The lullaby ends with young Esther; this is a screenshot from another player under the discussion thread
The lullaby ends with an old woman; screenshots from my own playthrough
One reader was able to provide a screenshot of hints/information provided by Vlada herself on how the ending could be influenced by our past decisions:
Information from Vlada
After a lively discussion, said reader was also kind enough to sum up the information that the fandom has come up with so far in a comment, however some people have noted that they've chosen those four options below and still got the ending with the old woman. (FYI: Everything in cursive and/or quotation style has been added by me for more context):
" ❗️❗️❗️ To those not in the chat.
We found out that the good (“The witch will save the magic.”) ending of the lullaby from the ending of chapter 6 is affected by the following choices 😊 you have to take all of the above):
1. Thank you, Viv - chapter 9 of book 1;
Esther was talking to Vivienne on her way to Madame Beauchamp's shop about magic.
2. There are enough non-magical diseases in the world - chapter 10 of book 1;
This option can only be chosen if you decide to visit Giovanni instead of Bartholomew, but it does not seem to be the definitive decision that would lead to the variation with the old woman so it may not count if you romance Dario and wanted to interact with him instead. According to other comments, the LI branch should not determine the ending of the lullaby but no guarantees.
3. Magic is beautiful at times like this - chapter 6 of book 2;
Esther was talking to her familiar and decided to use magic to warm herself up on the ship.
4. Balance is needed in all things - chapter 2 of book 2;
Esther was talking to her familiar.
Anticipating questions, the effect of the lullaby ending on the plot of the novella is unknown. Let's stay calm and alert 🙂🙂 .
If you have any observations, do write. However, information is finite.
If you have the second option (i.e. variation with the old woman), but you know for sure that you have taken all the necessary elections - contact the personal messages in the League's group VK with your ID account.
❗️ If new information becomes available, this post will be updated ❗️.
It is known that:
Information provided by Vlada (the screenshot above) in the chat of this channel. In other words official. "

edit (05/21/2024):

I write pretty quickly and found that when I write solely in cursive, I drop letters (especially when signing my name). I also pick up the pen in-between certain letters when doing cursive because I think it flows out my hand better that way.

2024.05.16 02:34 SeyoLeaf A ring with rhinestones on top and the word "love" written in cursive on the bottom

A really important friend gave me a ring that has maybe 4 or 5 rhinestones on top and the word "love" written in cursive on the bottom (it's not just the word engraved in the ring, the band itself actually spells it out!). Something like https://us.pandora.net/en/rings/rings/promise-rings/handwritten-love-ring/193058C00.html?cid=sem:google_search:performancemax:no_collection:lowerfunnel:no_promo:::::::jewelry::::&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwupGyBhBBEiwA0UcqaDxW4QZaAtLRyzlJpcEeHwah7w8wA9XjnXWwl7mKYwu1rWRBKX_LTBoCQPAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds except the top of the ring should have rhinestones and the "love" goes on the bottom.
She gave it to me so that whenever I looked at my palm I would see the word "love" and remember that she loves me. I just lost it today, I think while I was taking out the trash lol :( Please help me find it, I'll do anything to have it again!

2024.05.14 02:59 Frequent-Movie8220 Can someone please grade my synthesis essay

This was about the 2021 Free-Response Questions Handwriting prompt. Just looking for # values of my thesis, evidence, and sophistication.
Although some argue that handwriting instruction is beneficial in helping students develop certain skills, to a greater extent, handwriting instruction is not needed in today’s schools because the aforementioned skills aren’t directly proportional to handwriting and the world is evolving into a society that lacks the need for such writing skills.
Handwriting instruction has no place in this globally changing society that is geared more and more towards technology. Technology has no doubt pervaded into our school systems on a global level. Kids in elementary schools are receiving chromebooks, ipads, and even laptops. This is even the case for my own situation, in which I was given a chromebook for assignments in fifth grade. However, schools have continued to implement handwriting practice into daily routines, and for what reason? The opinions are starting to sway against teaching handwriting skills, however. Teachers themselves are stating that they believe we need to do away with the practice and “move on”(Source A). It is not only an individual basis level, however, as even forty one states have implemented courses that omit cursive from their curriculum as a whole(Source A). The fact that not only individuals are rebelling against this “archaic [...] communication” but also a majority of states on a national level are doing so highlights how change is what the nation wants. Specifically, technology is making the teachings of handwriting obsolete. The keyboard allows students to be “quicker on the keyboard” and can help them be “better writers as handwriting takes up less of their education”(Source C). Others agree with this sentiment that doing away with handwriting can give more time for education in other subjects too. For example, some articles are saying that handwriting is taking away time that could be better prioritized for “essential life-skills” like finance and programming(Source E). The sentiment of teachers, editors, states, and more, is that handwriting has no place in a society that is evolving.
The supposed skills that come with teaching handwriting at our schools are lacking in direct benefits. For example, some argue that handwriting activates cognitive and fine motor skills because it requires knowing what to write and how to use motion to write as such(Source D). However, this assertion could be applied to any scenario. Say painting: it requires a vision of what to make and the skills to create the work. However, why is painting not a required curriculum in many schools? This basic line of reasoning has been pointed out by others too, with one pointing out how “playing the original Super Mario Bros helps develop fine motor skills”(Source E). Knowing where to jump or which pipe to take is the equivalent to using your cognitive skills while inputting such decisions into your controller is using motor skills. However, schools are not requiring 15 minutes a day to gaming. This comparison between handwriting and Super Mario Bros underscores how the perceived benefits of handwriting are, in reality, not inherently needed. Another point of view to highlight is that while handwriting instruction may have benefits, they are highly constrained to when one is in school. In Source F, for example, it is shown that the use of paper over technology is heavily prevalent but in K-5. In Source D, it is said that elementary-age students were found to write more during their time. However, these assertions do not take into account the realities of our society. Children are not in the growing technology-focused workforce. Children will not have the time to take such liberties when having to take quick notes in high school or college. Children will be losing out on time that could be used to develop other more important skills.
Overall, the practice of handwriting instruction is not needed in today’s schools because the overall consensus agrees with such and the supposed benefits of handwriting do not outweigh the loss.

2024.05.13 18:40 AzerothSutekh I've been trying to learn Old Roman Cursive, but each source seems to conflict on almost every letter. What should I do?

So, I've been trying to learn how to write in Old Roman Cursive, but there seems to be many different ways to write each letter, and the sources I've been using seem to conflict on almost all of them (A is the only letter that seems to actually stay the same throughout all of them). The sources I've been using are:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXWUL8ieBgE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQu2zKYdIWw
https://www.omniglot.com/writing/romancursive.htm
https://sites.dartmouth.edu/ancientbooks/2016/05/25/ancient-fonts-rustic-capitals-old-and-new-roman-cursive/
https://coriniummuseum.org/schools/resources/roman-writing/
https://www.detailedpedia.com/wiki-Roman_cursive (full image is on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_cursive )
I've also been using LLPSI to learn Latin, and the Epistula Magristrī chapter (as well as an image on p259 of some carving from Pompeii) has some Old Roman Cursive that I transcribed onto a notebook, so I have that as well to reference.
Anyway, the conflictions between all these sources has me wondering which I should rely on. The person on this 9 year old Reddit post said he used the the second link I provided, but the detailedpedia source and the first YouTube link both seem to use the same letters (the omniglot and dartmouth links also use the same letters), so that's two sources that actually agree... originally I was actually going to compare each letter with each source and use the form for the letter that the most sources used, but I don't want to accidentally mix dialects or something, and end up writing E's like I'm from Ostia while writing my P's like I'm from Pompeii, or anything like that.
Anyway, what do you guys think? How should I pick which source to rely on? Or is there other sources that are more accurate than these, that I should be looking at?
P.S. Some of the letters are even considered New Roman Cursive in some of the sources, but put under Old Roman Cursive for other sources, to make things even more confusing (e.g., the "New Roman Cursive" E in the coriniummuseum link and the third "Old Roman Cursive" E in the omniglot link are identical)
P.P.S. A couple of other sources I excluded, as I haven't actually looked into these two too deeply: https://www.reddit.com/latin/comments/f7wtc2/breakdown_of_the_cursive_used_in_ancient_roman/ https://www.reddit.com/latin/comments/ecgk4a/old_roman_cursive_variants/

2024.05.13 04:42 Little-Bug-797 could someone please grade my synthesis essay? TIA

the prompt is 2021 Q1
https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap21-frq-english-language.pdf?course=ap-english-language-and-composition
For centuries handwriting has been our primary source of documenting data, but is it still currently? With digital technology reaching into everyones' back pockets the decline of handwriting is evident. Email's have replaced letters, Word has replaced note taking, powerpoint has replaced posters, and many more. Even though handwriting is a great skill to have, and can help you with other aspects in life, its pragmatic uses are continuously declining. Thus it should not be focused on in school as a mandated class but rather as an elective.
Undoubtably, handwriting has major benefits, more than just the physical writing it self. Cursive script is proven to develop fine motor skills and improve mental organization (SOURCE D). Even though cursive handwriting has such benefits, the uses it posses in the everyday world are exponentially declining. What would be the point of focusing valuable education time on forcing every student to learn cursive? It would be absurd, if they want to do it, they can choose to in the form of an elective. It would be deranged to force woodworking kids to join the band, same applies here. Or it would be the same thing as forcing every student to learn French, Japanese, Spanish, and Arabic, indisputably learning many languages has great benefits to one's mind, but it should be a choice especially since it is not used in everyday life. Or as SOURCE E states, Super Mario Bros can develop better motor skills. Another important factor to consider on WHY we should make it optional is its [handwriting and cursives] roots. The real reason we adopted such writing habits in the 19th century was to make our national identity and our sense of uniqueness. We differed from other scripts not limited too but including the Gothic script, or the Palmer method because they were connoted to different cultures (SOURCE C), we adopted this so we can show we are different, however in todays world that matters very little because everyone has the same Sans Serif font in their inboxes (font gmail uses). Vouching the fact that we should not make it a necessity at school for children to learn at school.
Even though mandating such a dying subject could potentially revive it, there is no practical need to do so. Doing so would most likely do more harm than good. SOURCE B portrays one of the thousands of worksheets teachers would have to print for every student to strenuously practice their cursive writing. We all know that deforestation is hurting our climate. Badly. So why waste even more paper, especially on children who have no interest in learning the skill as well. It is like buying a $100,000 racecar for a student who has no interest in racing. What will it lead to? Immense waste. To reiterate. The printing of worksheets should be encouraged for children who want to learn the skill of cursive handwriting, but shouldn't be forced upon everyone. There would be no point in encouraging penmanship in school since post-school the focus is towards technology, after all school is meant to prepare us for the future (SOURCE A). Schools that are focusing on it should reconsider and put more effort into preparing the children for the future. In 2013, writing on paper was on average 2x than writing with technology (SOURCE F), that is however 11 years ago and if numbers like that are still prominent, school administration should reconsider.
The point of school is to be prepared for the future. In today's world penmanship is almost extinct, and in tomorrow's world it will be extinct. Technology is more efficient to use, saves the environment, and is the standard for today. So why force children in learning something that will not have technical use to everyone. It [cursive handwriting] should be more of an optional elective, like woodworking or coding.

A quick review of some tramol waterproof inks I found. They're marketed on Aliexpress as "fadeproof and waterproof". I have no idea if they're fadeproof but as you'll see later they are quite waterproof. I know very little about the tramol brand, best I can tell they're a well liked domestic chinese brand. I believe their sheening inks (i.e. volga river) seem well liked internationally, but that's about all.
Background
I'm personally a sucker for waterproof pigment inks, and also shading inks, and I'm always looking for more. In particular, I wanted an ink that could match sailor Seiboku as I have yet to find a pigment ink that's as interesting as it. There are noodlers inks that shade and are interesting, but being dye based (Also being noodlers) they tend to bleed badly. I've found that iron gall and pigment inks tend to be the best for cheap paper. On the other hand, most pigment inks have low shading and are barely interesting color-wise (lennon tool bar) or wholly flat (rohrer and klingner sketchink, octopus fluids write and draw).
Review
Some quick swatches
All the writing above was done with a kaweco sport in F that I dipped. Dipping is not the most accurate way of telling how well an ink flows, but I'm lazy and I said this was a quick overview right? I also wrote in cursive and print because shading primarily happens when the ink pools after you lift up a pen. When you write in cursive you rarely lift up your pen so you get less of it. In a ranking of shading, I would say Kiwi >> Gaughin > Coke = Swing >> Monet. Monet was a little disappointing as I've been looking for a shading purple/lavender pigment ink for a while now, and I was really hoping it would be a winner. It's still better in that department than Octopus write and Draw Violet Raccoon and Rohrer and Klingner Sketchink Vroni (happy to do a comparison swatch if you want it), but not nearly as good as Platinum Classic Lavender black, which is my current go to.
All of these inks wrote about the same from the kaweco sport, with coke being a teeny bit drier and Gaughgin being a teeny bit wetter. I also inked kiwi in my kakuno F, which is rather dry and fine, and it behaved perfectly. Some inks really struggle in fine dry nibs (i.e., japanese F and EF nibs), and other inks struggle in wet bold nibs (i.e. Lamy, Pelikan). I didn't try any wet bold nibs as my preference is for EF and F nibs, but I imagine these would be fine. I would rate these as average in lubrication and wetness, being on par with the likes of Seiboku, drier than Platinum Carbon black which runs on the wetter side, and much drier than most other pigment inks from the likes of Lennon Tool Bar, R & K, and Octopus fluids, which run very wet. Other notes: I didn't notice any line spreading- i.e. when inks are very wet and have low viscosity, causing them to spread out as they seep into the page.

Unfortunately I was an idiot and forgot to do more testing before cleaning my pen and moving on to the next ink. So I only have Monet and Kiwi to compare against from this set. Here are some inks I wrote onto a cheap staples legal pad. This paper turned out to be not so cheap, because a lot of inks did well on it, but maybe it'll be useful for someone? Monet and Kiwi are not on the likes of certain inks, and there's clearly some feathering going on, but are certainly a step above most dye based inks as well as a little bit better than Platinum Carbon Black. I don't particularly care about minor feathering or ghosting, as I basically only write to journal, and my journal tends to be nicer paper. Note: most of the comparison inks here are really good for cheap paper so that also skews the results. Monteverde fire opal behaves like a very "Average" ink, comparable to diamine meadow and several other inks. It shows some bleed through and moderate ghosting as the ink penetrates the page.
Water Resistance Test
pre water test
In particular I was interested in doing a water test, since ya know, what's the point of using a waterproof ink if it's not water resistant?

Monet ran a little, but everything else was perfectly permanent. I'm guessing monet is using a mix of pigment and dye? Or maybe just pigment where some of the particles are too small/big to fit properly in the fibers of the paper? Not sure.
Final Thoughts
Overall kiwi is now one of my favorite inks, and is so far the only pigment ink I own to match Seiboku in shading levels. Before this I really loved Robert Oster Jade, but I prefer a waterproof ink. For some time now I've been looking for a pukey light yellow green, and this fits the bill. Gaughgin is a really beautiful shade of blue as well, and will likely get some use. The rest are just meh to me. I'll likely use them but they're not dethroning any of my main inks. For the price I paid (about $5 per 18ml), I can't complain too much.
Anyways I have a million fountain pens to wash now. Hope the review was helpful, and do let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know about them.

2024.05.11 19:40 QueenofTheAirPikey Tunnel of Love

“It’s good to be good for when you lose your place in reality” - you think at a theme park for adults called “Fun Etc” and as you lose your place in reality
“I’m good” you say
Pretty much right off the bat (whatever that means) you and a few others get stuck in the Tunnel of Love and have gone around so many times now
You’re the only one in the swan who begins freaking out at like the 50th revelation
Eventually you calm down and commence to wonder about the logistics of how the things around you worked and if there’s a way out
Some graffiti you spot reads:
“The phrase: “I would say” - no king has ever said
I have not today yet until tomorrow it becomes”
I’ve embraced my own weird way to fail that is very successful and fun and totally my own thing
It’s a long sandy lot of a lot of work that’s no fun for anyone but me
And you know
Sometimes you get athletes foot and you can’t even touch your toes but…
She’s a beaut
She’s of a generation that never wrote a check or bothered with cursive and she doesn’t know a thing about romance
The girl with the favorite laugh
The girl with the Swiss Army Knife
The girl that no one knows smokes cloves
The girl of licking Greek fire
And you can forget the word “no” in a moment with her and all you can say is: “yes” in every language
Yes in an echo chamber
Yes in a tunnel of love
Yes but only in theory
I should have said yes dear
I should have said:
“Whatever the lady wants”
For now I can’t carry this face that
wasn’t wronged by the world
but that did wrong by it to you
I want off this ride and me and a few others
Are busting or do you say “breaking” out?
I dispersed all the soil through a hole in my pocket already yesterday
I gently placed my thoughts in a blue bandana and went for it
But alas!
There was no purchase on the ravine wall to be had
Thus I stayed low as the water
Was as the ferns high on whatever they put in my body
Was drunk like a red-ass monkey that gorged on fermented red pears
Some folks buy a car and hope to pass 300,000 miles
But instead when I get one, I think:
“How soon can I get out of this thing?”
By about the 124th revelation I came around and resolved to no longer count
And we went around again and again more
And I laughed knee-slappin’ hard with the others at the same one joke each time around and the jump-scare near the end Golly-gosh gets me like literally E’ry time

2024.05.09 01:14 nkdvkng I wanna love this thing but…

Well, this was the first e ink tablet I’ve wanted for notes. Finally got it. I’ve had it for two weeks. Best note taking ever. Love atelier.
Yesterday my pen started ghost writing lines almost making my lines look like cursive. Did that pen on the table thing Ratta posted and it fixed it for the most part.
Today? Both my side bars crap out. Restarts. Logged in and out. Did the putting it on a flat table trick. Nada. Did a reset. Locked myself to the setup. :(
