#grammar #silliness It's not an injunction, just a label, betraying a wee bit of confusion over irregular verb tenses

In the blue gray light
day settles into quiet

Whenever I see fungi growing on my lawn or in my nature preserve rambles, I wonder. I don't check, and for some reason I don't try them without checking, but I wonder.

@donaldleiva A core value proposition, I'm afraid, is to boycott youtube, as a platform that welcomes misinformation.

@sand I can offer you a few little pieces:
1. When I've a worry chewing at the edge of my consciousness, sometimes I ask . .
a. what's the worst possible scenario I can imagine?
b. what's the best possible etc.?
c. what's, in my judicious best guess, most likely?
This lets me consider my worst fear, without letting it anchor my thinking.

I've used this to frame multiple sources of anxiety that coexist.

2. Fear and anger can exhaust me. This means I have less energy to do the good things, the worthwhile things that fit my values; even the fun things.

So one thing I do is engage in things I do value, as distraction and also as affirmation and energy-builders. Beats the hell out of self-harming ways of dealing with frets--even, in my case, such self-negations as eating healthy food beyond what my body asks.

@JesseF8693 I get too much of that in the political news

@DamonCrowley Thou hast a problem with ineffabilty?

@perlucidus Zat was zen.

@Vampykitten Try oatmeal? It's pretty soothing, and glycemically kinder.

@Ericdh My, that's queer.

@CommonSparrow I'm so sorry to be the one to tell you, but to the best of my knowledge, IA and its aliases have never paid a publisher for library privileges.
He can say "borrow," he can say "download," he can say he's doing good works. But if a book is under copyright, if IA/ZLib/NatlEmergencyLib, or I, or you, or anyone else who has not paid for the right either gives OR lends an electronic copy, that's theft.
Example: I volunteer on the committees responsible for a few safety standards. The people who own them (NFPA, ULSE) give me e-copies to use in my attempts to improve the standards. If I gave copies of those copies to other people--even with the best of intentions, even if I said "erase after one reading"--I'd be stealing.
I can steer you to documentation on the pirate "library"sites.
I urge you to stick with Project Gutenberg, and your local public library, which does pay the rights-holder for authorized lending copies, perhaps through Hoopla or Overdrive. Creators don't earn all that much anyway, with very rare exceptions.

@CommonSparrow If the book was published in 1945, the odds are high that it remains protected by copyright. I urge you to remove the suggestion that people download the Archive's pirated copy, out of respect for the author, and their right as a creator to enjoy the proceeds of their efforts and pass those on to their heirs.

@bethroots It might have been. It also might be that he was a good neighbor, or mentor, or with his wife a model to others of how to be family. But given his period, his basic wish may be one you help him fulfill: "Let her [awright, his] name not be lost to the mem'ry of men . . ."
I've no children, and will beget none at 75, but I have made the world that bit different by teaching others, caring for them, writing books and columns, keeping homes from burning . . . though my name be lost, some day, and the people I affected directly be dead as well, the world will continue along a different path than it would have without me. In some ways, I hope a more humane one.

@otterX What did amaz do with its own competitor to whm, started, if I understand right, after they bought wfm?
