Friends birthday this afternoon. Road trip into the city.
So it means an hour by car to #TTC #kipling station, then an hour on the subway to get downtown. All things considered not too bad for a 100km drive. (and saves #QEW congestion, parking downtown hassles)
Its weird on one hand "going into the city" is a whole-afternoon/evening commitment, on the other hand it seems like "oh Ill just pop downtown". I still have that mindset of when I lived in the Junction or up at Don Mills and popping downtown was only half an hour away.
You can move out of the city, but the city never really moves out of you.

I've got nothing positive to say about the colonialist programme with which he's most associated but #Kipling's short stories are a marvel. His prose is so controlled and modern, he throws us into minimally specified contexts, and he can sketch a character or mood with just a few words.
One example I've always loved is his Dayspring Mishandled (from Limits and Renewals). There's so much going on with this story.

It is always a temptation to a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: —
“Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) English writer
School History, “Dane-Geld (A.D. 980-1016),” st. 3-4 (1911) [with C.R.L. Fletcher]More about this quote: wist.info/kipling-rudyard/3744…

The link between Harlan’s life, Kipling’s novella, and the film adds a great twist. This book shines light on the man who inspired them.

@futurebird @mansr #Proverbs 6:7 starts an excellant rumination on ants, but I can't find the bit where they chat back. And the Proverbs of Solomon are one of the Jewish texts in the Christian Bible, accepted by all churches. Are you thinking of the #Wisdom of Solomon, which some protestants reject?
Somewhat relatedly, everyone should read #Kipling's "The Butterfly That Stamped", one of the Just So Stories.

Recently I wrote, and then copy-and-pasted to a variety of places, about how #creationist and other #antiscience #propaganda is often “horrible effective.” That was supposed to be “horribly effective,” of course. On #Facebook and #Quora I can edit it, but on #Mastodon I can’t.
So I think I’ll just leave it in place. It has the ring of a missing couplet from #Kipling’s #Tommy: “Ken ‘Am’s lies is bloomin’ everywhere / An’ ‘orrible effective too!” Seems like it fits my life.

Rudyard Kipling was the first English-language writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, which he won in 1907 at the age of 42 - so he's also the youngest ever recipient of that particular prize.

Woods on Raasay. So green and cool. Filtered light.
Rudyard Kipling, ‘The Way through the Woods’.
They shut the road through the woods Seventy years ago. Weather and rain have undone it again, And now you would never know There was once a road through the woods Before they planted the trees. It is underneath the coppice and heath, And the thin anemones …
One of my favourite poems.
