Queen Jadwiga’s Oath (detail), Jozef Simmler, 1867

https://youtu.be/2GyTAi0rVCA

"Mary who mattered to me, gone or asleep
among fruits, spilled
in ash, in dust, I did not
leave you. Even now I can’t keep from
composing you, limbs & blue cloak
& soft hands. I sleep to the sound
of your name, I say there is no Mary
except the word Mary, no trace
on the dust of my pillowslip. I only
dream of your ankles brushed by dark violets,
of honeybees above you
murmuring into a crown. Antique queen,
the night dreams on: here are the pears
I have washed for you, here the heavy-winged doves,
asleep by the hyacinths. Here I am,
having bathed carefully in the syllables
of your name, in the air and the sea of them, the sharp scent
of their sea foam. What is the matter with me?
Mary, what word, what dust
can I look behind? I carried you a long way
into my mirror, believing you would carry me
back out. Mary, I am still
for you, I am still a numbness for you."
Mary Szybist, Hail

    That article has some gold in it though
    For the anniversary of the boycott that gave rise to RAR, the group planned another boycott, on September 25. In the intervening year, the Reed administration had met many of RAR’s demands, including new hires in the Office of Inclusive Community, fast-tracking the reevaluation of the Hum 110 syllabus that traditionally happens every 10 years, and arranging a long series of “6 by 6 meetings”—six RAR students and six Hum professors—to solicit ideas for that syllabus. (Those meetings ended when RAR members stopped coming; they complained of being “forced to sit in hours of fruitless meetings listening to full-grown adults cry about Aristotle.”)
    Bwahahahahahahaaaa

    So y'all motherfuckers are saying you don't like being forced to listen to some asshole blather on about something important to him? Hmmmmmmmmm

    I am only saying that it is morning, not trying to mislead you good people into thinking I slept

    I'm about to conduct a fun experiment on whether or not boiling water will make a weakened french press carafe fail catastrophically

    Oh you have no idea.

    A super important tip is to mostly just not go in for getting that one specific thing because it might just kill your entire enjoyment of the game

    I've got a goal to get the last piece for the Braton Prime and I know I should stop but I can't give in now

    doing low tier defense missions is killing me

    I'm soon running out of podcasts to listen to while I do it, too

    but if you just putter along and take things as they come you will have a much better time because that kinda works better

    Have not tried it yet; I just played some extremely aggressive support Zyra games instead. Comet is *excellent* and with Sorcery+Precision I am pretty sure she does more damage than before.

    You shouldn't make coffee with completely boiling water though

    Almost boiling, but not quite, is the sweet spot.

    95 degrees celsius is the optimal coffee water temperature

    I just have an electric kettle which has a 'coffee' option, along with 'green tea'

    I try to go for closer to 85, usually

    but anyway, I need STRONK coffee now. Also, I'm curious to see if my french press will explode.

    once you get to the boss of Jupiter, Alad V, you should do him again a few times, and get the parts for the Valkyr warframe, because the Valkyr is the best.

    Shooting out a hooked line that pulls her up makes getting around real easy and lovely

    and the 4th ability has you invulnerable, clawing everybody to shit, and regaining health with your damage

    also valkyr's armor is stupid high
