Ohhhhhhh that's where I know her from. She tried to kill John Wick.
 
Nothing like random bleeding in your cat to add some zing to a morning. Never had a cat with a nosebleed before.
 
There are some days you wake up knowing that it's not going to be easy, in fact it will be measurably more difficult. It will be frustrating, maddening, test all of your patience and then some. All you want is to go back to bed with one giant Fuck This Bullshit. Unfortunately that can't happen. Instead you have to steel yourself for the inevitable shit storm that will be your day - and many days ahead - and just deal with it.

Welcome to my day.

Fuck.
 
We will be treated to spring-like weather in the mid 50s today, followed by a bitchslap of 8-12 inches of snow tomorrow. My loins are girded.
 
here it'll be almost 60(maybe) with rain then drop to below freezing overnight and stay that way tomorrow with a bit of snow, so, basically, it's gone be slick out there for a bit. what fun.
 
Me either. I hope everything is okay.

Thank you :)

I'm sure he's fine. Of course, as soon as I got past the "Aaaagh, my cat is bleeding!" moment, I googled it. Cats can get sudden nosebleeds just like people, from bumps on the nose, upper respiratory issues, etc. He's not acting ill, breathing fine, no sneezing or anything. He was very nonchalant about his nosebleed. I'll be keeping an eye on him, but I don't think it's anything to worry about.

I’m glad to hear that.

I'm crushing on the emoji ad girl, Alana Greszata. (Yes, I actually googled to find out who emoji girl was)

The Impossible H.L. Mencken
by Marion Elizabeth Rodgers
New York, New York 1991.



from the Forward
by Gore Vidal:



... A babble of words that no one understands now fills the airwaves, and language loses all meaning as we sink slowly, mindlessly, into herstory rather than history because most rapists are men, aren't they?

Mencken is a nice antidote. Politically, he is often right but seldom correct by today's stern standards. In a cheery way, he dislikes most minorities and if he ever had a good word to say about the majority of his countrymen, I have yet to come across it. Recently, when his letters were published, it was discovered that He Did Not Like the Jews, and that he had said unpleasant things about them not only as individuals but In General, plainly the sign of a Hitler-Holocaust enthusiast. So shocked was everyone that even the New York Review of Books' unofficial de-anti-Semitiser, Garry Wills (he salvaged Dickens, barely), has yet to come to his aid with An Explanation. But in Mencken's private correspondence, he also snarls at black Americans, Orientals, Britons, women, and WASPs, particularly the clay-eating Appalachians, whom he regarded as subhuman. But private irritability is of no consequence when compared to what really matters, public action...


***​

... Matthew Arnold wrote that a "style is the saying in the best way what you have to say. The what you have to say depends on your age." Mencken certainly said what he had to say about the age that he had been assigned to. When asked why, if he could find nothing to "revere" in the United States, he lived there, he replied, "Why do men go to zoos?"

Religion as generally practiced by the Americans of his day, he saw as a Great Wall of China designed to keep civilization out while barbarism might flourish within the gates. He himself was a resolute breacher of the Great Wall, and to the extent that some civilization has got through, he is one of the few Americans that we can thank. Plainly, so clear and hard a writer would not be allowed in the mainstream press of today, and those who think that they would like him back would be the first to censor and censure him.

As for Mencken himself, he wrote his own epitaph in 1921 for The Smart Set: "If, after I depart this vale, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner and wink your eye at some homely girl." I realize that he has, viciously, used the G-word and, even worse, the long-since-banned H-word. But there he is. And there we are, lucky we.
