I’ve learned that physically healthy, able-bodied people think they can “earn” their health. That if they eat right, exercise, and “don’t be lazy,” they’ll be able-bodied forever. This belief is the insidious underbelly of every piece of disability or healthcare legislation.
One of the most effective ways to keep people from questioning an unjust system is to convince them that their ability to survive it makes them morally superior to those who can't.

I captured an amazing site of a kingfisher hovering today. They can flap their wings at a rate of 8 to 15 beats per second. #kingfisher

The trick-or-treaters have begun arriving. One small witch demanded Haribo. I offered her a marron glacé. Neither of us concealed our disappointment.

In Mark Tansey’s oil painting, a woman in evening gown, hands on hips, waits impatiently as her escort fumbles with the keys for an overgrown pillared gate (The Key, 1984). The lighting is stark, almost photographic. Oddly, the gate recalls Ghiberti’s 15C Gates of Paradise

Ernst Jünger wore an English field coat purely because he thought it looked cool, unconcerned about the risk of being shot by his own troops. He gets shot. Yet he still considered it worth it and refused to elaborate.

Well, we’ve come through the storms, relatively unscathed (thank goodness) and Ronald and the gang are busy smoothing down ruffled feathers this morning.

When I was just a little girl, I asked my mother, what will I be? Will I be pretty? Will I be rich? Here’s what she said to me. You’ll be late.
