Ramble On: Summer 2026 Edition
Plums. Hours spent agonizing over the promise of just one minute more. Got Titans in my back pocket. Everything in duck fat. Funny thing about noncompliance and not succumbing to facial recognition, finger print, face-everywhere bullshit is that that technology is likely designed to work backwards. Meaning, if you suddenly don’t check some box as fast as it wants you to, you’re probably a bigger red flag than you would have been had you just obeyed to begin with. I don’t have a menu of people to purchase. I barely have enough of an appetite for even just one these days. Oliver Stone. Butterscotch chips in oatmeal = 10/10 Bubble and squeak. Gold paint. Do you want to cry? Yes/No W.E.I.R.D. Science bias. Six more months in solitary. (Insert Bernoulli's Expected Utility) Climbing fences and walls while wearing stilettos. Platinum fortune cookies. Pink frosting. No. No. No....
Evocative color dynamic: white and red mixed together with the dark soil that lies under the ice.
ReplyDeleteBut I wonder what's worse (better?) -- finding the strength to get up at least one more time, or succumbing to the desire to "finally stay down", as you put it?
They say that after your core body temperature lowers enough, freezing begins to feel warm.
It’s interesting that you assumed “dark soil” would even be achievable through that much frost. Or that there wouldn’t just be frigid water underneath. Who’s to say it’s not happening on a frozen lakebed? Do you hail from a warmer climate? Maybe an arid one?
DeleteI hadn't considered a frozen lake. It changes the color scheme-- red, white, teal. You're right, though, my immediate assumption was permafrost. But imagining this scene happening on a frozen lake might lend more to the idea of staying down. After all, getting up might risk breaking through the ice.
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely warm here today.
