  1. I walked in Tucson's All Souls Procession tonight, where people carry signs to remember loved ones they've lost and wear colorful lights in the darkness. And walk a couple miles across town together by the hundreds at night. It's an amazing event, but it's also a mixture of some uncomfortable things. It's not Dia de los Muertos, but it's clearly close, and it's a little too White for comfort, but it's also a very, very real ritual, and one hears Spanish and sees Spanish names commemorated, as well as a lot of English. Both the Hare Krishnas and a conservative Christian group walk in the procession and make their music loud enough to try to take over, while other conservative Christian groups stand on the side and harangue people for participating in something they see as celebration of evil. I wish none of these groups tried to use someone else's ritual that way. It feels very real in a way that few community rituals in the U.S. do despite those groups. Tonight I walked remembering my nephew who we lost very young a couple years ago, and thinking of several other people. It's both contemplative and musical and chaotic. A footnote: I love Tucson's free public transit for getting over there, just hop on the bus, no problem. Free since 2020. #Tucson #Arizona #AllSouls

    A #poetry thread

    i.

    I sit in a Gothic cathedral
    of stone tracery,
    late medieval
    with things we can't see.

    On this night of All Saints’,
    their many souls gathered ’round,
    flitting in shadows, faint
    and making no sound

    that could be discerned
    by physical ears
    except by those who’ve learned
    to listen with tears.

  11. In my neck of the woods it's customary to visit cemeteries on All Souls' (although technically, the Day of the Dead falls on November 2).

    When I was a child this time of year it would always be cold and foggy; the whole atmosphere was filled with wistfulness and melancholy...

    This morning it was 25C and it felt like summer, which is bonkers! I had a nice stroll on the way to my gran's grave, but it felt so weird to be in a T-shirt and searching my rucksack for sunscreen...

  16. Wenn es eine Kritik von meiner Seite an den #AllSouls-Büchern gibt, dann auf jeden Fall die tendenzielle Übergriffigkeit von Matthew de Clairmont und Dianas Tante Sarah. WTF, die sind ständig am Bestimmen und Anweisungen austeilen, weil sie ja alles so viel besser wissen – ach nee, die sind einfach nur übergriffig.

  17. @snowcrash Mach ich. Aktuell lese ich noch die #AllSouls-Trilogie von Deborah Harkness – und hab noch 1.400 Seiten. 😅

  18. Die #AllSouls-Buchtrilogie hat (natürlicherweise) so viel mehr Details als die TV-Serie #ADiscoveryOfWitches.

    Ich freue mich sehr auf die restlichen 1.700 Seiten. 🖤

  19. #AllSouls is a beautiful movie if you like action thrillers. stunning visuals, great actors, lovely soundtrack, intense and suspenseful. finest kind

  28. The bridge once broken
    A #poem (🧵6/6)

    Now on this day of all souls missed
    by those who find themselves left behind,
    one faithful departed returns to kiss
    the forehead of a son’s reopened mind.

    Across the valley, dark, deep, and wide,
    a spectral stretch of stones appears
    to shine as a silvery coach now rides
    across, to bring two sundered shadows near.

    the new light I’d shone back went unseen
    and broken arches into a chasm trailed
    where once a golden bridge had briefly been.
