“Fountain of Youth,” by Cranach the Elder, and maybe also the younger. A medieval painting featuring a public bath where old women shuffle in on one side and emerge on the other as young damsels.

Screencap of article. Intro reads: Last year I broke my leg climbing down a gully on a story. I have no way to prove this but it felt like it broke easier, took longer to heal, and a younger version of myself probably wouldn’t have slipped in the first place. Yes, I know I’ve been on this planet for eight decades now — nearly a century. Yet this was the first time I felt old.

This week Jules Octavian reflects on his life and thinks about his own mortality.

“Land as Muse,” a white on black drawing of a nude woman represented by farmer’s fields and the undulations of the landscape by Jules Octavian.

Screencap of article. Intro reads: So the term ‘gold digger’ has been mentioned a few times here at County Fence HQ lately and, I have to say, it’s not something I’ve put much thought into over the years. Yet it’s turned into something surprisingly interesting to think about. Greg, in fact, has been referring to himself as a trophy husband since ‘the incident.’ He’s rather tickled about it since he’s never seen himself as particularly desirable in that sense.

Gold Diggers & Trophy Wives by Rachael Boardman, the latest in the feud between Brenda and Rachael.

I'm always game for an election. Democracy is my fave. Beats sportsball any day.

But I won't be voting for Chris Malette again. Not after proving he doesn't gaf about Palestinian children starving to death.

You hear me, @mark-carney.bsky.social ?
