Hozier was amazing. His voice is so rich and resonant in person, it was such a joy to listen to. And when he played Cherry Wine, he managed to make it feel like an intimate bar show instead of a packed amphitheater. Absolutely incredible to see live.

#woolly rambles #but hoooo boy it has been a while since i've seen an act that big - #like the last proper show i went to was the fratellis in portland in 2019 #- and damn y'all were not kidding about cell phones at these things #sooo many people were constantly filming or streaming it was massively distracting #one woman behind me was loudly facetiming someone during Cherry Wine #and the selfies oh my god the selfies the constant taking and retaking of selfies #is this the take i have that makes me feel extremely old? yes #but tbh i'm right and i should say it #also dont get me started on how people behing during Allison Russel's opening set #very few folks actually paying attention most people talking over it #which was such a shame because she was also incredible her voice is like electric velvet #anyways i am officially an old cranky lady #but hozier was very good and i had a great time

Reading a legal complaint from the Pacific Legal Foundation is like reading something written by the most annoying kid on the playground who thinks that he should get his own way every time "just because" and will throw the biggest fucking tantrum when an adult gently explains that we have to take other people's feelings into consideration too.

"Swampbuster is a per se taking!!" buddy, we both went to law school, we both know you're full of shit

#woolly rambles #these are not serious people #forreal though the PLF is a national menace and we should beat them with sticks in public and i'm not joking

"We know you indicated it would take a you a 7.5 hour drive to get out here, but would you mind if we scheduled a meeting for the day after Memorial Day? Would that be inconvenient?"

Y'all just send anything in an email huh.

#woolly rambles #i'm traveling to do some presentation on May 29 and for whatever reason these weirdos have decided that they would also like me to meet #with some other people the day before as well #simply can't do it all on the 29th #like yeah sure i fucking guess i can do it but don't expect me to be coherent

Gaia [Homeric Hymn 30]

Faun: Gaia [Homeric Hymn 30]

Γαῖαν παμμήτειραν ἀείσομαι, ἠυθέμεθλον, πρεσβίστην, ἣ φέρβει ἐπὶ χθονὶ πάνθ’ ὁπόσ’ ἐστίν, ἠμὲν ὅσα χθόνα δῖαν ἐπέρχεται ἠδ’ ὅσα πόντον ἠδ’ ὅσα πωτῶνται, τάδε φέρβεται ἐκ σέθεν ὄλβου. Χαῖρε, θεῶν μήτηρ, ἄλοχ’ Οὐρανοῦ ἀστερόεντος.

I will sing about the mother of all, the well-founded and eldest who feeds all creatures as many as they are, all that move on the trusty land, and all in the sea, and all that fly, all these are fed from her wealth. Hail, Mother of the gods, wife of starry Heaven.

I've been spending a lot of time in the front yard the past few weeks getting things cleaned up and put in the ground. Today, after I finished what I needed to do out front, I swept off the back patio and got my container garden going. Miss Clematis has me completely charmed 🌸

#woolly rambles #i actually think this is the year that the front yard will finally start to look like a garden and im stoked
