Yep.

I'm doing mine with swimming sessions. I assumed I would be never able to climb the hill to my house without panting and feeling pain in my lungs, and one year later I was "...dang, I won't be able to stop this without feeling horrible, will I?"

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

[gherkin-saute]

Your art makes me want to listen to hyper russian songs and sit on an abandoned train track on a cold day (without snow) and smoke a cigarette (i dont smoke and then get out of there and go order a hamburger with vanilla ice cream and after that it's for home, sleep and dream that I found a lost house inside my school after a zombie apocalypse while I go down stairs climbing a hill in Brazil and then take a plane to the USA and buy a hamburger and fries at McDonalds listening to Jazmin Bean and with A pink Peppa Pig blouse with "Make your dreams come true" written on it

Nyctosaurus is a genus of nyctosaurid pterosaur which lived throughout what is now the Midwestern United States and possibly Brazil during the Santonian to Campanian of the Late cretaceous some 87 and 82 million years ago. The first known remains of nyctosaurus consisting of a fragmented skeleton was recovered from the Smoky Hill River site in Kansas and were described in 1876 by Othniel Charles Marsh. Marsh referred the specimen to a species of his new genus Pteranodon, as Pteranodon gracilis. Later that year, Marsh reclassified the species in its own genus, which he named Nyctosaurus, meaning "night lizard" or "bat lizard", in reference to the wing structure somewhat paralleling those of bats. In 1881, Marsh incorrectly assumed the name was preoccupied and changed it into Nyctodactylus, which thus is now a junior synonym. In 1901 H. T. Martin recorverd a remarkably complete specimen which was described by Samuel Wendell Williston who assigned it as nyctosaurus giving a much better picture and understanding of the animal. Since then several additional specimens have been recovered with there being at least 2 species: N. gracilis & N. nanus. Reaching around 1 to 2ft (30 to 60cms) in length, 4-6lbs (1.8 to 2.7kgs) in weight, with a 6.6 to 9.5ft (2 to 2.9m) long wingspan, nyctosaurus sported many similarities to its much larger contemporary pteranodon such as a comparatively small body, long wings, large heads, and elaborate head crests. In nyctosaurus the crest is composed of two long, grooved spars, each as long or longer than the body, with one pointed upward and the other backward, arising from a common base projecting up and back from the back of the skull. Fairly unique amongst pterosaurs nyctosaurs lost most of the wing fingers except the "flight" digit. As a result, nyctosaurus likely had a hard time walking let alone climbing and likely spent almost all of its time on the wing.

Still Searching for Their Loved Ones, a Week After Hurricane Helene (NYT) The last time Drew McLean’s parents saw him, he was marveling at the power of Tropical Storm Helene as it washed over their home in the mountains of North Carolina. He and his mother found that a large tree had split in the front yard and another had been pushed by surging water into Mr. McLean’s car, tipping it on its side. Amid the chaos, Mr. McLean, 45, offered his mother a comforting thought: “God is still on his throne,” he said. Mr. McLean has been missing for a week now, ever since he apparently walked off into the storm last Friday. Sitting on the back porch of their secluded home in the hills of Black Mountain on Thursday, his parents were holding out hope that he would be found, even as they wiped tears from their eyes and increasingly feared the worst. The McLeans are in a fraught and fragile state shared by many across western North Carolina and other regions crushed by Hurricane Helene. The vastness of the devastation, coupled with a lack of phone and internet service after the storm, has left families unsure of what happened to their loved ones. The storm’s death toll has climbed past 225, but many people remain unaccounted for and searching for them is complicated. Their families are desperate for answers.

U.S. Wiretap Systems Targeted in China-Linked Hack (WSJ) A cyberattack tied to the Chinese government penetrated the networks of a swath of U.S. broadband providers, potentially accessing information from systems the federal government uses for court-authorized network wiretapping requests. For months or longer, the hackers might have held access to network infrastructure used to cooperate with lawful U.S. requests for communications data, according to people familiar with the matter, which amounts to a major national security risk.

Brazil drought sinks Amazon rainforest port river level to 122-year low (Reuters) The river port in the Amazon rainforest’s largest city of Manaus on Friday hit its lowest level since 1902, as a drought drains waterways and snarls transport of grain exports and essential supplies that are the region’s lifeline. Below-average rainfall—even through the rainy season—has plagued the Amazon and much of South America since last year, also feeding the worst wildfires in more than a decade in Brazil and Bolivia. Scientists predict the Amazon region may not fully recover moisture levels until 2026. Last year, the drought became a humanitarian crisis, as people reliant on rivers were stranded without food, water or medicine. This year authorities are already on alert. In hard-hit Amazonas state, at least 62 municipalities are under states of emergency with more than half a million people affected, according to the state’s civil defense corps.

Is Europe Becoming Ungovernable? (WSJ) At a recent debate, a German voter had some pointed criticism for Chancellor Olaf Scholz: The German government is unable to govern and its ministers are bickering like children. Instead of pushing back, Scholz conceded the point. “The truth is: You are right,” he said. “But what would be your solution? I mean, I’m asking for a friend.” The exchange triggered little controversy in Europe’s largest economy, once considered a paragon of good governance. It is now all but taken for granted that politicians can agree on little here, and implement even less. France, which for decades has been the engine of the European Union along with Germany, has found itself in a similar state of political paralysis after elections in June left Parliament divided between a multitude of parties. Political fragmentation and polarization have tied the hands of political leaders, who can govern only in unwieldy coalitions between left- and right-leaning parties. Governments have struggled to find common ground on even basic issues, much less some of their most acute problems, such as handling growing numbers of immigrants, the war in Ukraine and stagnant economies. As a result, the EU and its governments have been failing to fulfill their commitments to voters and risk falling further behind competitors such as the U.S. and China.

Macron urges countries to ‘stop delivering weapons’ to Israel for war in Gaza (Washington Post) French President Emmanuel Macron urged countries to stop providing weapons to Israel for its war in the Gaza Strip and expressed concern that the civilians of Lebanon could face a similar fate as those in Gaza. “The priority is that we return to a political solution, that we stop delivering weapons to carry out fighting in Gaza,” Macron said in an interview with France Inter, a public radio station, that aired Saturday. France itself, Macron said, was not delivering any weapons. Macron’s call comes amid mounting public scrutiny of the high death toll in Gaza and the widening regional conflict to Lebanon. At a summit for francophone leaders in Paris on Saturday, Macron appeared to take a jab at the United States, by far Israel’s largest supplier of weapons: “If we call for a cease-fire, consistency is to not provide weapons of war,” he said. “And I think that those who provide them cannot every day call for a cease-fire alongside us and continue to supply them.”

Russia retrains ex-soldiers heading back to the battlefield (Reuters) Nearly 20 years after he last served in Russia’s army, “Mara” is back in uniform. The bearded ex-driver and foundry worker, who identified himself only by his call sign, signed up with the army on Monday. By Friday, he was going through his paces at a training ground in Russia’s southern Rostov region, practising firing from an automatic rifle and simulating the storming of a building. Two and a half years into its war with Ukraine, Russia is offering one-off bonuses of up to 1.9 million roubles ($20,000)—22 times the average monthly wage—to men prepared to sign volunteer contracts as professional soldiers. Being able to attract people like Mara is crucial to Moscow’s ability to replenish its forces and avoid resorting to another round of compulsory mobilisation. The drafting of 300,000 reserves in October 2022 proved hugely unpopular and prompted hundreds of thousands of people to flee the country.

International rescue teams arrive in Bosnia after devastating floods and landslides (AP) Rescue teams from Bosnia’s neighbors and European Union countries on Sunday were joining efforts to clear the rubble and find people still missing from floods and landslides that devastated parts of the Balkan country. Bosnia sought EU help after a heavy rainstorm overnight on Friday left entire areas under water and debris destroyed roads and bridges, killing at least 18 people and wounding dozens. Officials said that at least 10 people are still unaccounted for.

Ukraine in security limbo (Washington Post) More than a week after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky presented his “victory plan” for how to end the war with Russia to top U.S. officials, details of the strategy and how it was received remain hazy. The trip, which was viewed as a key opportunity by Ukrainian officials for Zelensky to sell the United States on how to support Ukraine going forward, failed to resonate in Washington. Biden held his stance on prohibiting U.S.-provided longer-range missiles to strike inside Russia and Zelensky found himself caught in a political crossfire as influential Republicans largely criticized or snubbed him. Zelensky’s U.S. swing reinforced the sort of unsettling limbo Ukraine now finds itself in going forward—reliant on the United States as its main ally to arm it against Russia yet unsure how long that support will continue as attention on the war fades in its third year and with the new escalation in the Middle East.

‘My dreams are about bombs’ (NYT) The Israeli airstrikes are worst at night. By day, residents walk the city with haggard faces, trying their best to fight fatigue and calm their nerves. Empty cigarette packets pile up in handbags and in the footwells of cars. Anti-anxiety medication is shared among friends. “When will this end?” the 7-year-old daughter of Farah Choucair, an economist who spent 14 years working for the United Nations, asked her mother last week. For the child, the pounding Israeli strikes are a flashback to the deadly Beirut port blast, which ripped through the Lebanese capital just over four years ago and destroyed entire neighborhoods. Ms. Choucair, who now works for a media technology company, said it took years of psychological support for her to process the trauma, but her daughter never did. For many in Beirut, the continuing conflict is just one in a long line of human catastrophes. The city’s bullet-ridden apartment buildings serve as a daily reminder of Lebanon’s bloody 15-year civil war, which ended in 1990. A crippling economic collapse that struck decades later has left much of the country in poverty, and residents are still grappling with chronic power cuts even as the capital is bombarded. Many residents say they loathe the stereotype that the Lebanese are resilient. “I wish sometimes that we could just sit and cry our eyes out and not know what to do, but we always know what to do—what to pack, what we need,” said Ms. Choucair. “It has nothing to do with resilience or any positive trait. It’s a natural survival mode that we have been trained to automate.” She added: “This is how it is living in Beirut. It will never change. I am 41. It has been like this for as long as I remember.” “All my dreams are about bombs,” said Heba Jundi, 36, who was staying at a friend’s house in the mountains above Beirut with her cat, Benji.

Health workers in Lebanon describe deadly Israeli attacks on colleagues and fear more (AP) Israel’s military struck outside the gates of a hospital in southern Lebanon without warning on Friday, killing seven paramedics and forcing the facility to close, the hospital director told The Associated Press a day after one of the most deadly attacks on health workers in the weeks since fighting escalated between Israel and Hezbollah. The account of the Friday airstrikes that flung hospital doors off their hinges and shattered glass was the latest to detail attacks that Lebanon’s health ministry says have killed dozens of health workers. Marjayoun hospital director Mounes Kalakesh said that even before Friday’s attack, ambulance crews in the area were so reluctant to operate that the facility had not received anyone wounded for days. Friday’s attack came hours before Israel’s Arabic-language military spokesman accused the Hezbollah militant group, based in southern Lebanon, of using ambulances to transport weapons and fighters, and warned medical teams to stay clear of the group. The spokesman provided no evidence.

A year of fleeing across Gaza (AP) Ne’man Abu Jarad sat on a tarp on the ground. Around him, canvas sheets hung from cords, forming the walls of his tent. For the past year, Ne’man; his wife, Majida; and their six daughters have trekked the length of the Gaza Strip, trying to survive as Israeli forces wreaked destruction around them. It’s a far cry from their house in northern Gaza—a place of comforting routine, of love, affection and safety. A place where loved ones gathered around the kitchen table or on the roof on summer evenings amid the scent of roses and jasmine flowers. The Abu Jarad family lost that stability when Israel launched its campaign in Gaza in retaliation for Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. They did exactly as the Israelis ordered in the devastating weeks and months of war that followed. They obeyed evacuation calls. They moved where the military told them to move. Seven times they fled, and each time, their lives became more unrecognizable to them, crowding with strangers in a school classroom, searching for water in a vast tent camp or sleeping on the street. Israel’s campaign has displaced nearly the entire population of Gaza—1.9 million of its 2.3 million Palestinians—and killed more than 41,600 people. Like the Abu Jarads, most families have been uprooted multiple times. For this family, the journey has taken them from a comfortable middle-class life to ruin.

King of the Hill. Class and community

"The courtship of Joseph's father" is one of my favorite episodes of the later seasons. Of course it's funny in a 'Dale takes it too far again' kinda way, but I think it says something interesting about the characters and setting as well. 

Joseph gets his talent as a quarterback recognized. Spencer Academy, a prestigious school, offers him a spot, in the hopes that he'll be a part of their team for football season. The kid doesn't want to leave Tom Landry, but Dale chooses for him,  sends him there, and later goes to great lengths himself to fit in with the rich families.

On the surface, it seems that Dale is interested mostly in the aesthetic the academy allows him to indulge in. And sure enough, he enjoys wearing elegant outfits and taking his Nancy out to enjoy a fancy dinner. 

But at a gala, he gets a harsh reminder that his wife and him don't belong with the upper class. Joseph himself has been struggling to connect with his peers: despite sharing a language and nationality, the class gap creates what is effectively a cultural difference. Dale speaks with Hank, and after his friend tells him he should do what's best for Joseph, he draws the natural Dale-conclusion and leaves his son at a rich family's door in the hopes that they'll adopt him. 

What strikes me about this episode is that it functions around class struggle. For starters, Dale knows what it's like to be an outcast. As a child, he spent his days talking to baskets and eating bugs. As an adult, he's too scattered to hold down a job and his family struggles financially as a result. He's also a gun fanatic with bad aim and an expert in conspiracies no one else takes seriously. 

But, if he had means and power, all of his weirdness would be forgiven as harmless eccentricity. His Nancy would stop struggling with the bills, and Joseph would escape the class his parents were born in and secure a stable future for himself. Dale senses that climbing up the social ladder is the key to success and happiness, but is naive enough to believe a mimicry of the elite's behaviors and mannerisms is enough to gain a place among them. 

Of course, his plan doesn't work out, and Joseph comes back home. Dale is initially horrified ("I just saw Joseph at the Hills'" Nancy tells him. "What?! He can't stay with them! They're worse than us!") but eventually realizes he loves his son too much to send him away. He decides to bring him back to Tom Landry, and, as he now owes Spencer Academy money, his neighbors help him organize a gala of his own to raise funds and pay them back.

In the end, we're left with a sense of injustice. The Gribbles deserve nice galas, fancy dinners and trips to Brazil, but their class prohibits them from accessing these experiences. Power and money are distributed unevenly and unfairly, and class mobility is unattainable. 

But there's also a sense of hope. I believe one of the key themes of King of the Hill is community. Dale, Joseph and Nancy are back where they started: no money and no fame. But their friends (this flawed and weird set of people) have banded together to get them out of trouble. Perhaps they'll never reach the top of the ladder, but they have each other. And that too might be a good place to be.

had a fun little dream last night

I dreampt I was hiking along a trail of Chuchilla Grande, (what I was doing in South America I have no idea) when I came across these mole hills which alarmed me because I realized these were the type of mole hills that zombies lived in, and soon the zombies started popping out of the ground, so I let them chase me until I led them off a cliff, and I dived over the cliff grabbing onto the side, and watched as all the zombies jumped over the cliff to their deaths, then I took my fae form and spread my wings and flew off, and started following a river until I came across a set of train tracks and a platform, so I land there, and wait for the train, when I get on the train I sit next to this older woman, and strike up a conversation with her, and subtly give her a fae boon of luck. when we reach Montevideo I get off the train, and walk through the city, until I get to an apartment building, I climb up the side of the building and jump off, spreading my wings again, and start to fly north, my intent is to get back home, I manage to fly all the way to the Itaipu Dam on the Paraguay/Brazil border, when my wings start to give out, and I begin to dip lower, but I use a boost given by an updraft at the dam, to glide the rest of the way to the southern border of the Amazon Rainforest, there I find the ruins of a giant statue, it is 4,000 feet tall, twice as tall as the Burj Khalifa, so I use my fae magick to take posession of the statue, and use it to walk through the Amazon, until I reach the border of Panama, and that's about when I woke up.

Após o corrido uma referência de endereço do pintor é à Rua Doutor Rego Barros, nº 65, no Santo Cristo, na entrada do morro da Favela do Morro da Providência.

As metamorfoses vividas pela cidade são narradas nas obras de Gustavo Dall’Ara, algumas de maneira mais explícita como a temática favela que, a partir de 1910, torna-se recorrente, com luminoso cromatismo, beleza e dignidade, retratando os excluídos numa sociedade pós-escravocrata, com negros, sem direito a terra e fora do mercado de trabalho, ocupado por imigrantes, a quem restou a habitação nas favelas próximas à região central onde faziam “Bicos”.

Antagonicamente no Salão Nacional de Belas Artes de 1913, Dall’Ara, expôs telas da Favela:
