  1. #Weather vs #Climate vs #Habit vs #Inertia. Might as well go full Monty in the unpopular #Viewpoints Dept : Very much chafing at Super Duper Mega #ElNino : This goes beyond semantics. #ELNino is a a pattern fundamentally linked to seasonality.If seasonality is itself breaking down is it accurate to keep referring to an old pattern that has now fundamentally changed…and will likely not return to what was previously familiar, as if everything is going to be okay as just an extremal excursion . No

  2. One of the tricks to #writing #poetry with #confidence when stuck (or as a #habit) is to write out before every poem, in some way or another, THIS IS NOT A #POEM, which frees you up to write one by dissolving the pressure to write a poem. This is NOT REAL LIFE, either. Oh fuck, it is real life. Hold my hand, and also my #albatross, matey, fellow #reader. I have some non-rhyming to do! rant.li/atmercurialatrant-li/j

  3. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    Such as are thy habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of thy mind; for the soul is dyed by the thoughts.
     
    [Οἷα ἂν πολλάκις φαντασθῇς, τοιαύτη σοι ἔσται ἡ διάνοια: βάπτεται γὰρ ὑπὸ τῶν φαντασιῶν ἡ ψυχή.]

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 5, ch. 16 (2.5) (AD 161-180) [tr. Long (1862)]

  4. Stressed Out

    Yesterday I was a bundle of stressed out, frayed nerves because the morning commute was such a disaster it spoiled my brain for the whole day. Today I am a bundle of stressed out, frayed nerves because of all the meetings I have to go to today. I am flat out all day long. I’m kinda scared for my stomach. It took me a full week to recover from our trip to Florida* and further along than that, yesterday was the first day since that I almost went the whole day without any problems (almost) and now today I am in meetings all day and may not be able to stop for lunch. I am at risk of a bad stomach day.**

    *Florida will henceforth be known as MoonPieTown due to this post.

    **I am referring to post-gastric bypass side effects and various related issues. Food/diet/digestion-wise I need to be a creature of habit and routine to succeed without weird problems and I am going to get bounced out of my routine today. I’m not happy about it, but what can you do?
