Or they will reproach you in later life for this uncalled-for lack in their education

It is Alan Turing's yahrzeit. I am glad the New York Times gave him the obituary in this week's Overlooked.

(I suppose it was necessary to include a photo of Benedict Cumberbatch in The Imitation Game (2014). I would have gone with Derek Jacobi in Breaking the Code (1986) or Ed Stoppard in Codebreaker (2011), but that's obvious.)

I slept minimally again, so have some more links.

1. Courtesy of kore: the lost rivers of Athens. I didn't realize Athens had lost rivers. I wonder if all cities do.

2. On the plight of small-town radio in America. If the intent of the article is to raise awareness and money for station KHIL in Willcox, Arizona, I hope it works.

3. I liked both of these poems from the recent issue of Poetry: Mary Biddinger's "Book of Disclosures" and Spencer Short's "The Gentle Art of Shabby Dressing." See also their Pride feature on the queer desire of Amy Lowell.

4. Jezebel posts clickbait of "Actors who are bad at acting." Critic Kayleigh Donaldson ripostes at length. "If you genuinely think Kristen Stewart is a bad actor, you're beyond help. Her near kaleidoscopic emotional range is invigorating and she can bring weight to even the flimsiest stories. Don't sleep on her comedic chops either." I love it.

5. Dr. Lauren MacIvor Thompson performs a similar service on the claim that nineteenth-century abortion providers did not advertise in newspapers. I hope it helps someone out with their fic research.

6. The National LGBTQ Task Force on the D.C. Dyke March.

7. Why don't I own this vest?

By night they come and reinstall the tattered weave of all our language

This evening's mail brought my contributor's copy of The 2019 Rhysling Anthology, containing my poem "Acceptable Documentation." Regardless of outcome, I am happy to be considered alongside Robert Beveridge, Nitoo Das, Amal El-Mohtar, August Huerta, Mary Soon Lee, Rose Lemberg, Bruce McAllister, Brandon O'Brien, Jessy Randall, Alexandra Seidel, D.A. Xiaolin Spires, Gretchen Tessmer, Sarah Tolmie, and Fran Wilde, to name some favorites. It's just a terrific collection.

I also got a card in the mail from selkie with some things I'd left at her house in May. I really enjoy cards and letters. I need to be better at answering them. (Just so it's understood, this is less a factor of Tiny Wittgenstein than the fact that I type several orders of magnitude more rapidly and easily than I write by hand and that's just been true since I was eight.)

As a reward for the end of this week, I had intended to have a bagel for dinner from Hooked, but they had run out of bagels by the time I got there. It's all right! Because they are currently offering lobster rolls, they made me a sandwich with lox and caper-parsley cream cheese (and accidentally tomatoes, but I ate them separately) on a toasted roll and it was delicious. So, technically no bagel, but still smoked salmon and very satisfying. I am seriously considering their Oysterfest on Sunday.

I had to return to work after I got home, but the sky outside my window displayed a very nice bi flag sunset, which I consider seasonally appropriate.
