"The profanation of the unprofanable is the political task of the coming generation."
Giorgio Agamben, "Profanations"
last night, for the first time in a while, i was able to just enjoy fireworks (instead of just having a trauma-reaction to them)

"We fix our gaze on the remains of a triumphal arch, a portico, a pyramid, a temple, a palace, and we plunge into meditation. We anticipate the ravages of time, and our imagination scatters over the very buildings in which we live. All at once, solitude and silence reign around us. We alone remain, of an entire nation that no longer exists; and this is first line of the poetics of ruins." —Denis Diderot
i've been trying for a while to get the crows comfortable with getting close to me. right now the current strat is just "look the opposite direction of the crow"
look at that sheepish little walk!

unless youre prepared to go to war on behalf of Seattle's Great Crow Satan - do not dress up as a caveman in Seattle.
you have been warned.
this is the caveman mask the researchers wore. if this guy showed up in my neighborhood i'd be scared as shit too.

on the plus side, my relationship with the neighborhood crows is developing a lot! we greet each other every day, and the group has gone from 3 to 6 at minimum, every day.
stormy days theyre not around as much and i get a little sad about it, but i get it
i got sucked back into the birdsite, its so stupid i dont know why i even look over there anymore
goodness the covid shot hits like a bus

100 years was too long for him.
it's gotten to the point where every morning, as i'm walking my dog for the first walk of the day, i'm joined by 3-5 crows who follow me for the whole walk. flying by and landing on nearby street signs, electrical cables, houses, fences, all until we get back home and then i feed them some (usually nuts or dog food)
i rewatched The Platform tonight with my pack and it was pretty good. i think i liked it better on this second watch than i did after the first watch. the metaphors are heavy but they work well~
