Paywalled but still, first serious profile I’ve seen sign of of a guy who I first came across two decades ago and have basically assumed everyone moderately clued in to contemporary conservatism to have read ever since
Have you ever seen “hair ice?”
“Hair ice” or “bearded frost” is rare and occurs only in a small percentage of the world (it’s not Hoar Frost).
Hair Ice grows specifically on the decaying wood of an Alder tree branch & is caused by a fungus living within decaying wood. The fungus “breathes” or releases its spores pushing the moisture out of the wood’s pores, causing it to immediately freeze. The small hole is as thin as a strand of hair
thereby causing the hair-like ice to form.
my mom was telling me about how when she was in her 20s there was a period where she would regularly get phone calls where someone would just breathe on the other end or say they were watching her, etc. and she mentioned it to her roommate and her roommate was like “yeah i slept with my friends boyfriend the night before the wedding so now whenever they have a fight she calls me and tells me shes gonna kill me, but she lives across the country so its fine”
Tumblr is rotting my brain a bit, though. Like I saw a shopping cart alone by itself in the parking lot in the middle of a snowstorm and thought “oh, that’s yuri”
I then took the shopping cart into the store with me and felt a warm little glow.
Well, woke up at 1, went right out and worked til 7:30, apparently I can get right back into the swing of that once spring picks up.
Blueberry Hill has 1 (which is to say two half-)day(s) of smashing left but first I’m doing a ton of post-rain weeding and dumping the soil onto it to create a stable path…
…and then smashing up the new wood I dumped on Strawberry Ridge…
…(which is pretty fine and breakable and I’ve largely done already)…
…to stand on the stable path and dump it on Blueberry Hill where as it settles its lower in the middle than the edges…
mate you probably have a brain tumor. long covid just makes you tired and dumb, it doesn't make you lose the ability to process spatial information or inexplicably lose half of your body weight. if you're cool with that that's fine though.
“You’re not sufficient to attend to your own health” is something I’m willing to entertain, but when it comes with a side of “so let me e-diagnose you” that’s just silly
