What's to see and what people show you need

1. From the file of Things I Didn't Expect to Dream: being in a longstanding, casual relationship with Tom Hiddleston. Not Loki, the human actor. Sharp-faced, curly russet hair. We had a running joke about the number seven. We got together whenever he was in town for a play. I didn't think about it as being weird in any way until I woke up and tried to remember the last contemporary figure I'd dreamed about who wasn't part of my family life or a filmmaker.

2. Finding out this afternoon from The New Yorker that Kitty Genovese was a lesbian—happily in a relationship with a woman when she died—felt like a serious women men don't see moment.

3. This is the most impressive fossil trilobite I've ever seen. greygirlbeast, I thought of you.

4. handful_ofdust Tumblr'd some golems I like.

5. strange_selkie Tumblr'd something I have difficulty disagreeing with.

Yesterday involved lots of packing and moving boxes and the very upsetting breakage (despite careful wrapping in as much Kleenex and foam as the box would hold) of a glass object I've had since I was twelve, which I discovered right before bed; it kind of kiboshed my plans to read The Valley of Song for an hour and fall asleep. Plans for tonight: seeing Ben Wheatley's A Field in England (2013) at the Brattle with rushthatspeaks, derspatchel, nineweaving, and hopefully gaudior. I am looking forward; I've wanted to see this movie since last summer. I have genuinely no idea what it's going to be like.

The trilobite song is the best.

I think we need Dance Your PhD to be joined by Sing Your PhD.

". . . partly to avoid any difficult questions at the end."

I support this proposal.
