It would be interesting to get the perspective on this from death professionals; hospital chaplains, hospice workers, other clergy and healthcare workers who see people reckoning with the end of their lives.
Perfection.
Bleak.
So jarred spaghetti sauce does not exist in Portuguese grocery stores (at least in Continente and Pingo Doce).
(I know, I know. I made my own.)

"Syreeta Gates, an archivist from Jamaica, QNS, founded The Gates Preserve, a digital record of Black youth culture media so complete that the photographers + writers... from that era often hit her up to ask for clips of their own work. Gates has dedicated her life to the [clxn] of this history..."

Look what I found at the grocery store today.
A black and white dog with an orange harness stands in front of a grey sofa on a grey rug and curtained windows.
Some excellent luck. We managed to score a sofa, two beds, vacuum, and some other household goods from a couple who were letting their apartment go. Also, my husband arranged for movers on short notice.
It seems so disrespectful to me. Like would he have told her if he hadn't been seen by her friend?
So sorry that's happening. Maybe encourage them that they can bond over shared activities like cooking together or drawing that don't require a lot of verbal communication.

Actual exchange we had on the record today:
Me: Your Honour, may I have a moment to help my client open his crayons?
Judge, solemnly: Yes, Counselor. And if your client would prefer a Paw Patrol colouring book, the court has one available.
I am a real attorney.
Why can't we just have a few nice things? 😞

Observations from Aveiro, Portugal today:
The barber shop had CNN coverage of the war on the TV, and then overheard discussion at the coffee shop, "All they do is destroy everything." Then all the televisions at the burger place had CNN coverage with the focus on Spain's refusal to participate.
One was a farmer and papermill worker and the other was an accountant who survived working in a forced labor camp during WWII.
Tree growing through the window and the roof of an abandoned house.
The trees will prevail.
Weathered brown door with a broken window and a plant hanging down in front of it.
Looking through the broken window into the house where you can see broken furniture.
Fully through the window. There's a broken green door next to broken periwinkle cupboards. There's an open blue door to the left.
Come into my little house.

An intricate octopus cut from a single piece of paper
Japanese artist Masayo Fukuda hand-cut this life-sized octopus from one sheet of paper. Known as Kirie in Japanese (translated as “cut picture”), the art form involves cutting intricate forms from a single sheet of white paper and then contrasting it against a black background to reveal the design.
Congratulations! Gorgeous cover!
