Screenshot of a music player interface showing the song “River Down Below” by Riverside. Large black text displays lyrics on a beige background: “Linger beside me, you’re all I have left. Tell me the story of your life. There’s so much that I have got to find out until the next darkness arrives.”

When Someone We Love Has Died

It is life, not death, that is the anomaly.

Death is our one great common destiny, the event from which all our love and compassion flows.

River Down Below

I'd like to tell you what I dream about
I'd like to say how much I miss you

A hand holds a paperback book titled Amongst Our Weapons by Ben Aaronovitch. The cover is mostly white with the title in red, handwritten-style lettering, and black illustrations of a detailed city map with a red river running through it. Small drawings of objects like an airplane and handcuffs appear near the top. The scene is dimly lit, suggesting nighttime, with a window and warm streetlights blurred in the background.

A suffocating grief spiral

Fiction saves 🖤

You live, you learn, you love, you learn
You cry, you learn, you lose, you learn
You bleed, you learn, you scream,
you learn

Have they heard of a 4 wheel machine boasting 150 horsepower?

It’s easy to forget how unprecedented the Hiberno-British* boyband The Beatles were [Harry Benson’s great pic]. In 1964 they did 30 concerts in 24 US cities & travelled 22,441 miles. In the NL 100,000 gathered just to see them drive by. In Adelaide 300,000 lined their route from airport to hotel.

A person reclining on a couch holds up a tablet displaying the book cover False Value by Ben Aaronovitch. The cover features a black background with neon-yellow illustrated city details and stylized title text. In the softly lit living room, a window with sheer curtains lets in daylight, and houseplants and bookshelves are visible in the background. The person’s legs are stretched out toward the window, creating a relaxed reading scene.

The only way I can keep breathing, carrying on through this much grief, is with a dash of Peter Grant’s magic, some of Bev’s glamour, and darling Nightingale by my side. 🖤

I'll make my reportas if I told a story, for I was taught as a child on my homeworld
that Truth is a matter of the imagination.
