chanson dans ma tête:


So take me from the wreckage
Save me from the blast
Lift me up and take me back
Don’t let me keep on walking
[…] on broken glass

Chanson du jour


I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, ‘You must be the mermaid
Who took Neptune for a ride.’

Upgraded to #LinuxMint Wilma. The process was smooth. Lots of stuff not working, but thanks to everything being well documented and checked and inconsistencies shown up front, nothing was a surprise


All is hunky dory!


Thank you @linuxmint !

I really did have a backpack just for books before that

It’s an innately human thing to do. Hope!
Today’s blow your mind philosophical/biological thread of the day!


That is an absolutely bonkers pitch, by the way, and everyone thought you were a showoff, even before the opposable thumbs. When the winter came, and the winter of winters, and the rain was acid and the air was poison on the tender shells of their eggs and choked the children in the shells; when the plants turned to poison, and the ocean turned against you all; when the climate changed, and the world’s children fell to shadow; your internal ocean was it that held true. A bet laid against the changing fates, a bet laid by a small beast against climate and geography and the forces of outer space, that you won. The dinosaurs fell and the pterosaurs fell and the marine reptiles dwindled, and you, furthest-child, least-looked-for, long-range-spaceship, held hope internally at 37.5 degrees. Which is another thing that humans do, sometimes.
