Time is only a corner, age is only a fold
Rabbit, rabbit! The primary event of today was celebrating the birthday of my best cousin ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
gaudior by attending the monthly vigil in support of Black Lives Matter at First Baptist Church JP with rax and rushthatspeaks and activist baby Fox (who can now sit in a high chair at a restaurant and kick people, e.g. me, under the table) and then going for dinner at Kamado Super Fusion, where the sushi is very good and the deep-fried coconut milk is ridiculous. In their honor, here are some things that are great:
1. The pioneering comics art of Matt Baker, "a damn good-looking black man who made his living drawing damn good-looking white women at a time when talking to one could have gotten him killed." I'd seen his splendid illustration of Julie d'Aubigny, but knew nothing about the man behind it. Black, queer, spectacularly talented, and indeed damn fine-looking. I can't reproduce the best photo, so read the article by Ian McDowell and check it out.
2. Courtesy ofhandful_ofdust: I am as disappointed as the rest of you that these mermaids come from some kind of neo-noir comedy called The Nice Guys (2016) and not a full-scale lesbian mermaid romance we could all be watching right now, but for all that they are very nice mermaids. Anyway, at least that explains the tan lines.
3. The latest issue of Poetry is a centennial tribute to Gwendolyn Brooks.
4. This is a three-thousand-year-old Near Eastern pot with feet. It looks very confident in itself.
5. "Keep misbehaving, small cats."

I am reliably informed that they are, as I strongly suspected they might, transitioning almost instantly from crawling to cruising. That is a baby who wants to go places.

Re: time. I came across this recently, in the context of economic theory: "Time is a denial of the omnipotence of reason. Time divides the entirety of things into that part about which we can reason, and that part about which we cannot." (Shackle, Epistemics and Economics, 1972). I'm not sure about the second sentence, but the first seems true enough.

Please post it whenever you get home, because I'd love to see it!

Agreed.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ [That was Autolycus, I believe also concurring with you.] I love that that line turned up in a book of economics!

It does! That is indeed great. I also enjoy the article about the comics illustrators (who was indeed damn fine looking, too).

It has the most personality of any piece of pottery I've met lately.

I'm keeping an eye out for him in used book stores now. It Rhymes with Lust (1950) sounds fascinating.

That's good to know. I was just so disappointed in the comparative lack of lesbian mermaids.
Whereas we must now spend our lives in pursuit of a mermaid lesbian romance movie until such a feature is found.
It's not like there's not an audience waiting!

Yay! I am very glad you like the things.
And indeed, may the small cats misbehave always.
That's just a good all-purpose blessing, I think.
Love.

I love that it's lasted and I love that it's lasted like that.

I really want to try deep-fried coconut milk.

It's a really strong issue. I thought about linking individual poems and then just decided: nah.
I really want to try deep-fried coconut milk.
This looks close, although the version we had was vegan (coconut milk only, no dairy). I bet the thickening and chilling before battering and frying still works.

You have caused me to associate this pot forever with "These Boots Were Made for Walking" and I thank you.
