My brothers walk on crushed glass
For the first time in months, I had a dream that was not a nightmare. Awake, it looks rather like the serial numbers filed off a contemporary Turn AU, but it contained railway lines and did not leave me unhappy. Have some links.

muccamukk: "The Philosopher and the Detectives: Ludwig Wittgenstein's Enduring Passion for Hardboiled Fiction." I had read some of the earlier articles cited in this one, but not the article itself before Mucca sent it to me. I like its stylistic conclusions and continue to feel validated that if I can read and watch noir for its ethical questions, so can actual philosophers.

3. Charles Payseur says resonant and appreciative things about "Tea with the Earl of Twilight" at Quick Sip Reviews: "I just love the feel of this story (plus everyone is queer and that’s a big plus)."
4. Courtesy ofmoon_custafer: I know Michael Sheen isn't Jewish, but his birth story sure looks like proof that changing names to confuse the malekh-hamoves really works.
5. Having been reminded to catch up on Existential Comics, I must say that Schopenhauer vs. blood sugar is relatable.
Becauseselkie exercised the double-edged magic of the gig economy to send us groceries, we cooked salmon for dinner last night. It was the first time since June I'd had fish that didn't come out of a tin. Little cats were permitted to share in the bounty. Autolycus is irresistibly patient.

1. Up until this article, I'd have assumed Wittgenstein would have been a Sayers fan. There's something cheering in the image of him curled up with an issue of Black Mask.
2. Wow. My favourite is the basketball game. The humans are basically all "Aww, man. Not AGAIN." The eldritch's so obviously thinking: "Hur hur, I like dis game."
3. Well, a great story deserves a great review.
4. The more I read about Sheen, the more I like him. I'm glad he dodged the bullet.
How was the salmon?

Thank you! They were naturally, ironically chased by not sleeping at all last night, but I am hoping the situation will improve. I spent so much of this summer not sleeping, I don't have the stamina to spend the fall the same way. [edit] I SLEPT TEN HOURS IT WAS GREAT.

I have always been just as charmed by it as by his love for Hollywood musicals. I wish I knew what Sayers he had been reading. I would also have kind of expected at least the Harriet Vane novels to be a hit.

The facepalm really makes it.

Same. I feel very lucky to have seen him onstage, years before I knew it would be relevant.

Delicious! We put some some of the spice mix we call allium in a can (technically it is shallots, chives, green peppercorn, dill, basil, tarragon, chervil, and bay leaf, but the shallots and chives leave a dominant impression) on the non-skin side and pan-seared it until it made a crust and ate it like hungry cats, snip-snap-snup. The pandemic has really been interfering with my normal fish consumption. I feel sea-starved on so many levels.
