News about the kids in Idaho, news about London. I have been allowing myself to listen to one cycle of news in the morning and again in the evening. Sometimes I just don't have a lot of faith in humanity. It doesn't help that Magnus self-weaned last week and I was already mourning those quiet moments in the morning and at night. And now the sad hormones are kicking in. Picked up Overlord and found it so dense at first, and then so strangely comforting. Here is some more:

the death sentence for Amina Lawal, condemned for the crime of adultery August
19, 2002, to be

Do you feel good yet? Here is some more:


Morality
leads the soul to the frontiers of the Absolute and even
gives it an impulsion to enter, but this
is not enough. This
movement of Freedom cannot succeed unless there is
equivalent movement within the Absolute itself.
I am waiting. I am copying. Equivalent movement within the
Absolute.
