"On a Mission// Mr. Phillip seldom smiles,/is lanky and tall,/wears wire-rimmed glasses/and big-collared shirts/with strange bows/around his neck,/frowns when he speaks our Twi,/insists that we call him/by his new names,/does not like/ riddles or bean stew/ or most things/ we are used to/ in our village,/ and swears/ that he has been anointed/ to rescue us/ from our old selves/ and help us discover/ our true ones." — 9 hours, 14 min ago

""Human Resources was important - as Ms. Kettering reminded us all the time, without the resources we extracted from our human subjects the entire company would grind to a halt."
🤣 they extract the resources in from the humans, and well the HR department is then very well named" — May 15, 2026 01:36AM

“We never stop reading, although every book comes to an end, just as we never stop living, although death is certain”

“As soon as I got into the library I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I got a whiff of the leather on all the old books, a smell that got real strong if you picked one of them up and stuck your nose real close to it when you turned the pages. Then there was the smell of the cloth that covered the brand-new books, the books that made a splitting sound when you opened them. Then I could sniff the paper, that soft, powdery, drowsy smell that comes off the pages in little puffs when you’re reading something or looking at some pictures, a kind of hypnotizing smell.”

“If they hate us, (…) it is because we have also bombed their cities. What we are seeing now is a world gone mad, children, a world full of brutes, all intent on killing one another. And we should not forget that we are all responsible for making it happen, for letting it happen.”

“Joan so loved the beauty in this world: showing people the stars, spotting the fuzzy glimmer of the Orion Nebula with just her eyes, the rare moments when auroras are visible even in the southern states because of intense geomagnetic storms, trying one more time to really nail Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C-sharp Minor, rereading The Awakening, listening to Joni Mitchell and Kate Bush, drawing for so long, so late into the night that her palm cramped, running so far that she forgot to think, taking Frances for ice cream and watching how long she deliberated over which flavor to choose, the smell of Frances’s hair . . .”
