Since itâs trendy in Paris, it might be an idea our countries could borrow from too. đ

The Essential Ursula K. Le Guin
Her powerful imagination turned hypothetical elsewheres into vivid worlds governed by forces of nature, technology, gender, race and class a far cry from our own.

James McBrideâs radical approach to fiction ~ The Atlantic.
âWhat binds his characters is what most concerns McBride. In keeping with the jazzmanâs ethic (heâs an accomplished jazz musician himself), he lets them each take solos, glorious horn-blowing ones. But the power of the story is in the way these individuals all fit togetherâsometimes hindering but more often helping one another muddle through their shared reality.â
Tim AkimoffI placed my phone up against a beer can on a picnic table and set it for a 30-second nighttime exposure.
I am sometimes surprised by what it picks up that I cannot necessarily process with my own vision.
This capture absolutely floored me.
@blackbulldog What a great quote! Thx.
@gladsdotter Luckily it was just taking itâs sweet time about leaving. I watched for hours till it finally did leave, then leapt for the window, closed it tightly, and had quite a late night half listening in case it somehow found its way back inside. Then I got some delicious sleep. đ¤
@Cateo Thanks Cate. Can hardly begin to tell you what a relief it is. Luckily the advice I got was great, AND it worked, though the wait and watch was excruciating. ;)) Such a relief to close that window though, even tho it was only open a sliver, since itâs winter here. đ¤ˇââď¸ And not to hear those strange intrusive sounds in the night. đŤ¤
Way, way past my bedtime but itâs been 24 hours of very tiring possum wrangling. I succeeded in getting it out of my little apartment tho with some good advice from a possum expert and no harm to it or me. So relieved, and will sleep a lot better than last night when I kept hearing it scuffling around in the living room doing itâs nocturnal adventuring. đ¤ˇââď¸ So, phew. And goodnight all. â¨
