This afternoon we learned that Hestia has seasonal environmental allergies. They look as though they can be readily treated and we even have a long-term plan to do so, but I feel again as though I have inflicted my health on my cats. Have some links.
1. I had missed that the Turing £50 note would be released into the wild on his birthday at the same time that an art installation commissioned in his honor was unveiled by GCHQ. It is better to honor people while they are alive to appreciate it; it is better not to have killed them. I am still glad to see them not lost to history.
2. Please enjoy the wholesome content of Columbo on gender.
3. Kohinoorgasm's "Azaadi Is Freedom Is Fate" reminds me of Born in Flames (1983) in how it is filled with queer women of color who look amazing simply by looking like themselves. Shallowly, there is also the shot of the singer wound in her braids.
4. Kai Mata's "So Hard" is one of the bounciest, catchiest, and ultimately sweetest fuck-off songs I have ever encountered. I think it pairs nicely with Lush's "Ladykillers."
5. I got to the last of these I, Claudius + Onion headlines and laughed so hard I startled![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch.
I was reading my way through the imperial adventures of H.C. McNeile's Bull-Dog Drummond (1920) when a description of a secondary character leapt out at me: "With a thoughtful smile on his face Drummond sauntered along Pall Mall. He had told Longworth more or less on the spur of the moment, knowing that gentleman's capabilities to a nicety. Under a cloak of assumed flippancy he concealed an iron nerve which had never yet failed him; and, in spite of the fact that he wore an entirely unnecessary eyeglass, he could see farther into a brick wall than most of the people who called him a fool." Percy Blakeney casts a long shadow.
It is very difficult to go to bed at a reasonable hour when a cat sleeps on your knees.
