After a weekend of worsening listlessness, brainlessness, and general malaise, I finally saw a doctor and seem not to have any of the currently circulating plagues, but was sent home with a new inhaler and instructions to medicate myself like the nineteenth century on account of my lungs sounding terrible. I would so very much like to be able to think about anything that matters to me. Have some links.

thisbluespirit: a substantial cache of British television plays on YouTube, as usual for however long it takes for the BBC to notice.
2. Courtesy ofdavidgillon: the ongoing investigation of HMS Erebus on the clock of climate change. I had somehow forgotten the pre-printed Admiralty equivalent of a black box recorder.
3. I had occasion last night to share Donald Swann's recording of "Lord of the Dance," from his Sydney Carter-penned EP Songs of Faith and Doubt (1964). I am never going to get over the existence of this version and I also happen to like it.
4. I am delighted that the latest bog body discovery went through the normal stage of checking out a recent homicide before settling on the Ice Age, but I really love the universal and automatic association with Seamus Heaney.
5. Ainsley Hawthorn's "The Sea, Like Glass" (2024) is a marvelous haunting of sea and selves.
