Pression

Sais-tu mon père

Que je recouvre mes plaies

Avec du fils vermeille

Et me coud des ailes

Seulement pour plaire

Aux êtres que je hais

Good news! I managed to find the last dandelions of the season :) I really thought I'd missed the window to harvest them this year; it's usually a late-April activity for me but it rained so much in the past couple of months, it just ruined my flower-harvest schedule.

The only dandelions left where I live are all in their wish-granting puffball phase, but I thought I'd try my luck at higher elevations—yesterday I called a neighbour who lives 150 metres higher, it went something like "Hello I would like to inquire about your dandelions and what stage of their life cycle they have reached." Neighbour told me if I hadn't introduced myself first she would have assumed I was a salesperson cold-calling to pitch a product ("You sounded so professional.") But she confirmed that she saw a few still-yellow dandelions during her last walk! Pandolf and I were immediately on our way.

Neighbour also told me that the cows were out in one of the pastures I was about to cross, but I didn't tell Pan, it was a surprise. He was so happy! Look at him bouncing his way towards them:

I was ready to call him back if the cows looked nervous, but instead more cows arrived to meet this visitor, to Pandolf's extreme delight (I had to call him twice before he deigned to stop greeting cows and join me on my dandelion search.)

Usually I just sit in a pasture covered with thousands of dandelions and I barely have to move to fill my basket, but in late May the harvestable dandelions are few and far between, so I had to walk long distances to find a couple here, a couple there—and I had to really inspect the tall grass, where they are much better-hidden than in April grass.

And guess what else I found in the tall grass?

A lion!

Worse! it's Texas :) I guess he is officially a recurring character. (Here's Texas' memorable introduction, for those who missed it.)

He makes Pandolf look small and scrawny!

I went to say hello to his owner but she wasn't home, so we returned to our dandelion field, followed closely by a suspicious Texas.

Sure, I'd scritched his ears and it was nice, but he's a diligent guard dog and unlike Pandolf he doesn't think friendly ear-scratching and malicious intent are two circles that can't overlap. But once I showed him my harvest he lost interest in us. Catching dandelion thieves is not in his job description.

Another animal I had to negotiate with were pollinators, who were clinging to the last few dandelions even though there were other wildflowers for them to feed from. They probably thought I was being similarly unreasonable with my single-minded focus.

I also found an adorable tiny spider in my harvest—she was dandelion-yellow and perfectly camouflaged to hunt insects in there! Here she is giving me a tiny spider high-five (or maybe angrily shaking her fist at me as I deprived her of this ideal hunting ground)

I let the llamas out to eat the weeds in my (still not planted) vegetable garden, like last week, as I started the long and meticulous process of destemming 400 dandelion flowers one by one. It started raining at some point but I had to stay outside to keep an eye on Pampe—it wasn't cold at all, and after the initial "oh no! rain" reaction, it started feeling pretty nice and meditative, sitting outside in the soft spring rain with the animals while preparing flowers.

I proudly told my mother that despite being one month late I managed to make 5 jars of dandelion honey just like last year, and she complained about shrinkflation seeing as I used significantly smaller jars than last year. I'm sorry but that's just called making clever use of packaging to meet unreasonable customer expectations in difficult times. Plus, I used 1 more lemon than usual in my recipe, so what this product lost in quantity it gained in quality. ("That's what they all say," she tutted)

(If my hen looks grumpy it's because she was sheltering from the rain under the table and I unceremoniously caught her and dropped her on top of it to enliven my photo. Not only did she get wet but she felt used, like a mere prop. She's back in her sheltered spot and it's been over 10min but you can still hear muffled resentful clucks when you walk past the table.)

still thinking about New Orleans in late spring, which prompted this impromptu improvisation of our favourite vampire lullaby during this stormy night, pardon its loudness through the open window (Daniel Hart, your chords are absolutely delicious)

La vidéo de HBomberguy sur le plagiat a un impact jusqu'en France, y a des gens qui se demandent si les vidéos de Squeezie, Seb etc où ils racontent une histoire sans vraiment donner la source, ce serait pas un peu..... limite.

La sirène

Au commencement étais une ville parfaitement illogique,

Dans un monde retourné à la poussière.

Dans cette ville impensable: un être à la voix de sirène.

Elle se baladait dans les lagons et les sous-terrains.

Douce et tendre, dite à croquer.

D'après les gens bien pensants.

Elle fut dévorée par la berceuse.

Et la ville suivit au purgatoire,

Jusqu'à la chute d'un étoile.

Dans sa chute, elle se brisa une aile.

Et la sirène en prit possession.

Quand Mélenchon parle de deux tentatives d'assassinat/attentat et que la journaliste, dans toute sa supposée neutralité, sous-entend qu'il exagère, ça devrait toutes nous inquiéter. Qu'on l'aime ou pas, il n'a jamais rien fait qui sorte du "cadre républicain". Il ne propose rien de révolutionnaire, il n'appelle pas à l'insurrection, il n'exhorte pas à la violence. Il a eu quelques phrases condamnables et à condamner, mais pas particulièrement pires que les sorties répétées d'autres politiciens à qui on ne fait pas un procès médiatique.

La seule chose qui le distingue du reste de la troupe des bavardeurs, c'est qu'il défend des idées de gauche avec cohérence (et, à mon sens, avec conviction), là où la gauche acceptable ne propose que des rustines sans aucun lien et sans vision. Et malgré ce que peuvent crier les médias, il les a défendues avec assez de verve pour séduire beaucoup de personnes en un temps assez court comparé aux autres partis de gauche.

Et donc parce qu'il est le seul à gauche qui soit une "menace" crédible pour le statu quo actuellement, il est urgent et nécessaire de le diaboliser, quitte à prétendre que des tentatives d'assassinat pour des idées politiqus somme toute banales, ça ne vaut même pas une mention.

no but im giggling to myself because étoiles has been pushing the “POV tu parles avec le fou dans le train pour pas qu’il te tue” meme (below the cut) for weeks and has been adapting it to various different situations with various different people to a point where the meme has become a staple with both the fr fan community and the fr streamers themselves (today they were talking about how kenny is le fou du sable, mynthos le fou du thé and étoiles le fou des bibliothèques iirc) . and now QUITE LITERALLY étoiles had to speak with the fous du purgatoire in order to not be killed and it is sending me so fucking bad, the meme came full circle and manifested into mcrp reality

Votre bibliothèque, vous la mettez/mettriez où ? On parle d'un idéal, même si vous vivez dans 20 m2, chez vos parents ou si la config actuelle de votre logement ne vous permet pas de changer (moi la bibliothèque était déjà dans le salon dans mon appart et elle était collée au mur donc j'ai pas eu le choix mais bon ça m'arrangeait)
