If the dead are watching, I want them to see us writing, dancing, singing, painting. I want them to see that we still reach out to each other.

“Wanna make a monster? Take the parts of yourself that make you uncomfortable—your weaknesses, bad thoughts, vanities, and hungers—and pretend they’re across the room. It’s too ugly to be human. It’s too ugly to be you. Children are afraid of the dark because they have nothing real to work with. Adults are afraid of themselves.”
Richard Siken, Editor’s Pages: Black Telephone

Me in high school reading about the Ancient Greek practice of Ornithomancy: Lol that’s so silly they really thought they could predict things about the future based on the random shit that birds do 😂
Me as an adult after seeing a swallow-tailed kite on my drive to work: oh my god that was everything. What a blessing. It is going to be the most beautiful perfect day. Everything is gonna go my way now I can just feel it

"There's a Christmas rush on telephone wires, too. Help keep war-crowded circuits clear on Dec 24, 25, and 26. Please use Long Distance only if it is vital. War needs the wires--even on holidays." (1940s)
