Amser mynd am un o'r rhai mawr o'r silff “i'w darllen”. Mae hon gyda fi ers 2011, a dw i wedi ei dechrau o leia ddwywaith, ond y tro ‘ma dw i’n ffeindio fy hunan yn gartrefol yn syth.

#Beware! There's something really ... strange, different, and tastes like licorice about that Xumo web interface. You're prob have to ... you know, Ctrl+I or, F12 whatever. hit that [PAUSE] button to even figure out what's going on.
I'm lost.
Granted. This is like day three of a manic ep, and i'm about to go down.

I wanted to say. What's her name. #Idiocracy. #Rudolph is it "Maya" #mayarudolph ?

I guess she's #blackcomedian.I never think of her as black. How weird is that. She is very light-skinned though. I seriously have always had that: not recognizing it. Not oblivious. Just dont care. Some sort of "dysmorphia" probably. like my thoughts getting ahead of my mouth, generally, since they're basically the same words (he/she/thing/that) And I don't think that's the brain damage. Although, it's really difficult to tell with something like that when you're down in it ("it" being the /damaged/). and it's "You" trying to think through it. f'n sucks. i am certain of that. if there is one thing, I am certain, today: having brain damage from some dumbasses fuck really is the shittiest thing.

"In his teaching and in his writing, he stressed the force of narrative imagination in the face of death, or even just boredom." #bookstodon #Johnbarth #writer #obituary

John Barth, Writer Who Pushed Storytelling’s Limits, Dies at 93 https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/02/books/john-barth-dead.html

It’s a twist #JohnBarth would have found intriguing: his #NewYorkTimes obituary (published today) was written by someone who died 14 years ago.

RSVP, John.
