It'll take your family heirlooms, but it can take your darkest sins
I have just had a poem accepted that I will announce tomorrow. I am extremely happy about the acceptance, if not about the political situation that sparked the writing of the poem.
I just received an e-mail from President Peter Salovey of Yale that the university has decided to rename Calhoun College for Grace Hopper. The statement and the two linked reports are worth reading.
This song from Brandi Carlile's The Firewatcher's Daughter (2015) has been playing on repeat since
ladymondegreen linked me to it. But nothing scares me more than the stranger at my door who I fail to give shelter, time, and worth.
Last night I started coughing and this morning I woke up sneezing and I just had to cancel an invitation for dinner from friends who really don't need whatever the hell this is on top of whatever their small child might already have brought home from daycare. I think my plans for the rest of the day are to finish writing about a movie and then see if I can either stare at another one or pass out.

She's really good! I had not taken any real notice of her despite having four of her songs on my computer (one by her, three she wrote for other people) and now I've got the entire album of The Firewatcher's Daughter and have played "The Stranger at My Door" thirty-nine times.

That is my kind of music fan!
Re: better men have hit their knees and bigger men have died
It's kind of my default approach to music, at least new music or music that really resonates with me. I don't know if it's normal or not. It wouldn't make a difference if I knew. (ONSIND's "Heterosexuality Is a Construct" is up to 26.)

That's great. More bands should use close harmony like it's no big deal.
