And I can love you like a color TV
I seem to have dreamed that I enlisted in an interdimensional military force. I needed to get offplanet. It made sense at the time. I want to blame ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

Having slept appreciably for what was not quite literally the first time all week, I am now of course much more tired than when I was strung out for days, but I suspect it was still good for me. Have some links.
1. It is a sign of the comprehensive awfulness of last spring that I missed the discovery of wartime footage of Bletchley Park. Technically a satellite of Bletchley Park, but still. A four-and-a-half-minute edit of the original eleven-minute film has been made available: a mix of silent color and black-and-white, with subtitles added where lip-reading could make the words out; I wouldn't have minded captions identifying the known figures. The accompanying mini-documentary adds context, most notably from an MI6 veteran who worked at Whaddon Hall as a teenager and recognized his father in the off-duty flicker. No one seems to have any idea who did the filming. It wasn't surreptitious at all.
2. I like this poem: Celia Sorhaindo, "Ambergris."
3. Courtesy ofmoon_custafer: the seaweed-eating sheep of North Ronaldsay. It feels absolutely characteristic of sheep that they still want to eat grass even though it will kill them. I also confess I would like to eat one.
The world isn't going to become less stressful just because I would like it to, but I would still like it to.

This could be hilarious or suspensefully terrifying, but were there even options for you to do so?

Oh, yes. There were the equivalent of worldgates. I remember going through one.
