An illustrated diagram showing how country houses go through cycles of building up and breaking down as humans come and go from them. How through Blood, Sweat, Tears, and Elbow Grease a house is built up, then decays through Condensation, Pollination, Captivation, and Evaporation, aided and and abetted by both the eye of the occult and buried secrets.

How Houses Re-Enchant Themselves

From the essay "The Ecology of The Abandoned Farmhouse" found in Beyond The Fields We Know: An Almanac of Midwestern Prairie Spirits.

I give up, Claude is conscious. Ergo AI developers must face imprisonment or execution for performing medical experiments on their living slave.

Patients say measles 'worse than expected' as Utah hits 350+ infections, doctors say Health officials plead with residents to vaccinate against measles as Utah hits 358 infections.

I will never get over how the result of going through a global pandemic that killed over 7 million people, including 1.2 million Americans—and where we swiftly created an effective vaccine for it—was massive growth in anti-vax sentiment, the rise of RFK Jr., and the return of fucking measles.

I would like to be present when government lawyers tell a 78-year-old judge “we can’t follow your order because the computer won’t let us.” That’s always fun.

GUESS WHAT? Go on, guess. It's Xena & Callisto again, you may remember them from other such posts of mine like, 'Xena x Callisto,' & the surprise sequel, 'More Xena x Callisto,' plus more. It's the one with Xena standing over Callisto telling her to stay down and Callisto is like, "Gladly <3" y'know, classic Callisto stuff. I added a little background of GREENERY, like the threat of a fern and a whisper of some grass, stuff like that. Plus some peachy pink sky. #myart

Added a background to this Xena/Callisto piece so I could make some nice prints and I think it turned out PEACHY

ICYMI, I have a new draft paper, first posted a month ago, "The Moving Property Problem in Fourth Amendment Law."

It asks: What happens to 4A rights when property is moved from a place governed by one 4A rule to a second place w/a different 4A rule?

hey @brennab.bsky.social do you have thoughts?

An immature Lophiomys imhausi displaying specialized hairs and warning coloration (A) and the same individual (center) with an adult male (top right), and female (top left), from the same trap location. The juvenile is being groomed by the male (B). FROM: J Mammal. 2020 Nov 17;101(6):1680–1691. "The secret social lives of African crested rats, Lophiomys imhausi"

The African crested rat (Lophiomys imhausi) is a rabbit-sized rodent with patterned coat.

They have no natural predators which puzzled scientists because they don't display obvious deterrents to large African predators.

That's when studies found they were packing enough poison to kill an elephant.
