#RIP #JaneGoodall

#rip, #janegoodall

I learned something very beautiful
today, In French, “bibliothèque
intérieure” means your “inner library”
the invisible shelf you carry inside,
filled with every story that’s ever
shaped you.

All the books you’ve loved, the
heartbreaks you’ve survived, the
random quotes that stuck, the
memories that built you. They all live
there. Quietly reminding you of who
you are and how far you’ve come.

The en dash responds …

P.S. And for the record: I am not a whore. I am a matchmaker. Ask any calendar.

You think I showed up with ChatGPT?
Mary Shelley used me… gratuitously.
Dickinson? Obsessed.
David Foster Wallace built a temple of footnotes in my name.

I am not some sleek, futuristic glyph.

I am the battered, coffee-stained backbone of writerly panic—the gasping pause where a thought should have ended but simply could not.

P.S. You’re probably thinking of the en dash. That whore has always been suspicious.

The people I grew up with

have doctorates
have children
have spouses
have divorces

have careers
have died
have lived

and me? I have done
some of the dishes

Time management isn’t about time at all.
It’s about priorities.

@dabeaz There was a perfectly serviceable car metaphor (that he did use, at the very end.)

But until then it was just hour upon hour of dismembering Mabel!

#Ruckus should actually have been called “Mabel dies in the end”

And after showing us such a beautiful picture of Mabel 😢

aka reasons I hate @dabeaz 😂
