Post something just for the heck of it

Poor people are made anxious by their need to have adequate food.

Middle class people are made anxious by their need to have the best available moral philosophy.

Hunger isn't the disgrace that gluttony is, and thinking about good behavior isn't the disgrace that virtue-signalling is.

Yes I think I agree.

(though I always shudder at the word disgrace because by ex-Catholic boyfriend used to say that Grace (and Disgrace) were special words with special meanings for those who had The Faith)

(which reminds me that I've recently come across a saying about the Irish Catholics‚ They will agree with someone 99% but argue furiously like Kilkenny cats over the 1%)

BLOODY MEN
by Wendy Cope

Bloody men are like bloody buses -
You wait for about a year
And as soon as one approaches your stop
Two or three others appear.

You look at them flashing their indicators,
Offering you a ride.
You're trying to read the destination,
You haven't much time to decide.

If you make a mistake, there is no turning back.
Jump off, and you'll stand there and gaze
While the cars and the taxis and lorries go by
And the minutes, the hours, the days.​

She's been very quiet for a while.

Hunter's moon tonight. Not all that thrilling, at least not round our way.

and thanks for all the fish.

It reminds me of the time when Douglas' books started showing up here in North America. Book stores didn't know what section to put them in. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ended up in the travel section. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe ended up in the food and cooking section, and So Long and Thanks for All the Fish was put into the sporting section.

Am I seeing things or is there a paraglider in this picture?

Am I seeing things ...

Are you talking about those spots in the right hand of the sky?

 

[Essex Boy]

Yes. Or it could be some escaped balloons.

I am an 18-year-old artist and illustrator from Prague.
I believe that inspiration can be found at every single corner all around us. That is why I am working with the most ordinary and simple objects and themes to prove that art can be applied almost everyhwere, anytime.
