I haven't seen a post of this here with alt text, and I promise that those using a screen reader also need to experience this thing of great beauty from the print Onion that comes to our apartment.

@carrideen "I work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake by A Horse" is a beautiful story and I am glad to read it, especially with complete and accurate alt text. But what genre is it?

I feel the story is full of love and unanswerable sadness, and it is a tragedy.

@SecondUniverse Elegy? It reminds me most of the play Drowning by María Irene Fornés, which ends with a spectacular monologue about desire that can't be satisfied and makes some similar emotional turns.

@SecondUniverse So, probably closest to pastoral elegy, I think.

Missed Connection Art Print by Adrian Tomine

Purchase an art print of the painting "Missed Connection" by Adrian Tomine. A woman and several passengers read books on a subway. The setting captures a typical urban commute with diverse individuals absorbed in their reading.
