An Invention of Collective Nouns
Β 
A reckoning of spreadsheets.
A distraction of smartphones.
A prattle of podcasts.
A mispronunciation of scones.
Β 
A clique of photographers.
A heard of precedents.
An enjambment of
poets. A grope of presidents.
Β 
A pile of haemorrhoids.
A bunion of personal trainers.
A bout of estimations.
A condescension of mansplainers.
Β 
A stroke of geniuses.
A spot of adolescents.
An embarrassment of Richards.
A collection correction of pedants.

ThisπŸ‘‡πŸΌ. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

FFS, what a fucking disappointment! Well done, Stonewall, just shit on the very people who were there fighting from the beginning! Without them your organisation wouldn't even exist!

Spanish PM Pedro SΓ‘nchez: β€œHere in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants.

β€œAnd I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.”

Spring walk in Kyoto’s Ichijōji neighborhood, where narrow alleys crisscross and you might (happily) get a little lost. If you’re lucky, a beautiful view of Mt. Hiei will be yours.

I spent a week glued to the Artemis 2 livestream and wrote some words about THE MOON, OUR MOON, and what happens to language at the edges of human experience. open.substack.com/pub/nothingb...

Excerpt - "As the astronauts deliver the SitReps - i.e. are not engaged actively in the gathering of scientific data - it is stark how rapidly they move away from technical description and fall back onto the language of poetics: colours, superlatives, adjectives, emotions. After all, in its purest terms, what they are doing is just describing a view - something landscape painters and romantic poets have been trying to do throughout history. And perhaps when it comes to describing a view, no matter how much you might try to be there in the name of science, you end up in the realms of art."

Excerpt
"If to be a poet is to be a metaphor-maker, then certainly we can call them poets. Astronaut Christina Koch describes one of the moon's craters from a new angle as 'looking like a large healing wound', and new craters pockmarking the lunar surface as resembling 'a lampshade with tiny pinprick holes'. In this sense, the team's descriptions are a sort of exercise in free association, new extraterrestrial shapes seeking correlates in the more familiar - furniture, our own bodies, domestic detritus."
