I’ve known about roko’s basilisk for like…at least some 8 odd years now so to now sit down and learn about its origin is a little wild

Kurzweil really saw the vast expanse of our starry night and decided he wanted to put one billion Walmarts throughout all of it. If it wasn’t so despicable, I could laugh.

Alan Turing mentioned in passing stop it

Altman said he’s going to bring back the company town???? What in the world??? APUSH save me now.

So happy to discover Dickenson is a horse girl AND a bird girl—just like me fr!

“Play the old role, the role that is great or small according as one makes it!”

Just trying to have a good day…

“Beauty is truth, truth is beauty” — that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know

Thanks Keats!

“I keep trying to wake up. I keep getting things wrong. I’m ready to feel better.”

This anthology is abt to ruin my day isn’t it

I love whoever controls Saxby’s aux. Annotating I Wandered as Lonely as a Cloud while listening to so american is a 10/10 experience

Omg.. the mariner is so correct wtf…

I’m shaking with excitement. No way the mariner has even more trials to undergo. No way this was all a metaphor.

Crazy how I’ll start to have a good time then O’Hara ruins it. Ok thanks

Just got weirdly emotional over the allusion to Plenty and Her Cornucopia that adorned Sears’ catalogues. I need sleep.

“I can’t even find a pond small enough / to drown in without being ostentatious.”

I actually laughed in Shannon Library. Wow.

“and in a sense we’re all winning / we’re alive.”

O’Hara…

“I seem to be defying fate, or am I avoiding it?”

Ok thanks O’Hara that’s just what I needed today

“More like a man / flying from something he dreads than one / who sought the thing he loved.”

I’m eating my Sbrocco’s donut I got post my enlightenment from Skipper and drinking my morning tea and honestly it’s gonna be okay. I think Wordsworth is telling me it’s gonna be okay.

“but we shall continue to be ourselves everything/continues to be possible.”

Sigh I guess

“I wish I were reeling around Paris/instead of reeling around New York/I wish I weren’t reeling at all.”
I fear the collection is starting to grow on me

“All Indians must dance, everywhere, keep on dancing.”

Of course it’s Wovoka speaking of the Ghost Dance Movement that makes me tear up. Bring me back to APUSH.

“But his dear God? who yet his glorious law / Embosoms in us /…Poor man, thou searchest round / To find our death, but missest life at hand.”

Feeling great to be part of the niche of people who will listen to This Year from Two Strangers Carry a Cake and think of Herbert’s “Vanity (I)”

“Brethren, what do you think of this?” Crazy how I’m asking the same question to this day

“Has Mr. Jefferson declared to the world, that we are inferior to the whites, both in the endowments of our bodies and of minds?” L Bozo T. Jefferson now I’m at your university

David why would you say that

“At the mention of this forthcoming dinner, my shoulders actually shook with excitement.” Help she’s just like me

Me vs getting my annotation tabs stolen by my little cousin 🫩🫩

Reading the Wikipedia page on Li He and how he “makes frequent use of inauspicious words like “aging” and “death.’” After reading “Lament That the Days Are So Short,” I can’t say that im surprised…he was really going through it

The gates are also making me think of Casco Viejo y Panama Antiguo. Panamanian Taiwanese connections are strong today
