LET'S NOT PLAY FRISBEE WITH THAT POET ANYMORE. [This is a comic strip, with a poem laid over it. On each panel a new line of the poem is written. The scene is a park, in the summer. A man in a trenchcoat - implicitly Philip Larkin - stands folorn, motionless, looking at people throwing a frisbee. It becomes apparent as the comic progresses that they are trying to play frisbee with him. He stand stock still for the whole comic, watching the frisbee as, panel by panel it soars closer and closer to him]. After contemplating the approaching frisbee for two silent panels, Philip begins his thoughts: Unloosed, unheralded, You soar toward me Across the dying afternoon. bright disc of childhood, Long since thrown wide Of Youth's green imaginings, Your slow declining arc Figures a sky-written truth: We will all succumb, and soon To earth's hard oblivion. [The frisbee hits Philip on the head with a resounding DONK. He falls backwards, to the ground. [Ends]

Landays. I had no idea.
“Bright moon, for the love of God,
Don’t blind two lovers with such naked light.”

@charlayn.eurosky.social long term memory vs working memory: it’s just that your short term memory isn’t very used to working lol Nothing (or less than feared) to worry about

Read some good news on that front the other day. Wait, I might find it

Vintage trains

ok here you go @theotheralice.bsky.social
It's about twenty years old now
Creaky

So you remembered it too! Means either your memory or the poem must be excellent. Possibly both :)

Yes, thx! That’s the one! :))))))
Still like it very much. Twenty years you say? That’s young for a poem

Grise, a longish time ago I read a poem of yours about trains and stations. I liked it a lot. If you know which one I mean: would you consider reposting it? Or dm-ing it to me? Would really appreciate that

Cinematic and linguistic delight: Bergman would’ve surely ROFL-ed watching it, and speaking Swedish turns out to be a piece of cake (take that, Duolingo)

Did I ever tell you about the time

Of course you know the end of the tale

100%👍

Flying: essential skill. The rest is relative. Very personal POV obvs

Oh noooo- that’s your incognito flying out of the window then @wildobliquities.bsky.social. Wow didn’t know Graham Annable also had detective qualities. Hope you don’t mind too much 🫣

Drawing of a woman in a spiffy pink suit reading a wall of negative comments in speech bubbles, with a large caption: Nevertheless, she persisted. What war in reproductive rights? Feminists are annoying You’d be so pretty if you made an effort. Stay-at-home mom? Get a job. Frumpy You’re too old to dress like that. Why are you getting so emotional? Your husband is totally whipped. He picks on you because he likes you. Working mom? You’re neglecting your kids. You just haven’t met the right man. You run like a girl. Over-secretive You’re wearing THAT? That time of the month, eh? Girls can’t do that. Why didn’t you just leave him? You’re going gray. You should dye your hair. You’re formula feeding? That’s not good for the baby. Whoa, take your meds! That’s a man’s job She was asking for it. Your clothing is distracting the boys. Dyke Slut Who’re Frigid Feminist Bossy *Catcall* Calm down. Smile! May I speak to th le man of the house? What are you wearing? You’d be so much prettier if you wore makeup. Women will complain about anything. You’ll want kids someday. You need to lose weight. For your health. So many kids. Keep your legs together. You’re wearing too much makeup. You look like a clown. You’re too skinny. Eat a burger. Aren’t you cute? Your biological clock is ticking. You’re too fat.

Happy (?) International Women’s Day. #KeepFighting

His most famous/cutest, arguably:
Dynamism of a Dog * on a Leash.

*I used to know this dog (read as: his descendant) personally. His name was Eric, and he was the terror of the neighbourhood (as reported by our dog who was 3x his size)

Mr Oscar-nominee should at least wait until his hypothetical win before putting his head above the parapet with similar assertions lol

Took me only 24h to understand your post lol - stumbled on an article about this T. person (whom I didn’t know from Adam until 5 mins ago) and his preposterous assertion *eye roll*

Hello from Warsaw, dear all! Playing Rachmaninov 2 with the Warsaw Phil and Krszystof Urbański at the wonderful hall of the National Philharmonie

I did both the reading and the watching, and guess which is the only one I remember. I’m a bad person. Döblin didn’t deserve that.
