@GeoffreyGevalt Hi -- yes, those are mine! KUAC is a subset (a radio segment) of Katexic -- the newsletter/site.
I've read Hamlet at least 30 times, probably closer to 50, since I was 14. And only a few minutes ago thought about Horatio's name containing "oratio" and what that might mean given 'oratio's (usually drastically under-appreciated) role in the play. #shakespeare #literaryshowerthoughts
@cremullins They were a significant part of the depiction of Santa as a heavy, jovial figure, though, iirc.
@ontploffing Interesting...thanks! I'm pretty much all paper these days, but that script could be handy.
Do you keep a #journal (or more than one)? A #diary? What are your #journaling practices or habits?

@solitarywalker My vote would be: yes and go with the standard suggestion of _Fathers and Sons_ ... and if you are into short fiction, then _Sportsman's Sketches_!
I updated the Katexic WORD archive to include a half-dozen new pieces including the latest, which is, if not the best piece I've done, certainly one of the most important to me and my community, still/always reeling from loss. → Read and/or listen: https://katexic.com/kuac/

@wion I might do that! My work took me deep into the WordPress woods and I haven't had time to use much else for a while. But that is changing. I'm glad to head Txp is still going.
@wion Indeed and thanks! I take it you were a Txp-er too?
@wion when editing your profile you can verify that a site is yours by putting a tag on that site, which enables the check mark —> “You can verify yourself as the owner of the links in your profile metadata. For that, the linked website must contain a link back to your Mastodon profile. The link back must have a rel="me" attribute. The text content of the link does not matter.”
…And then, too, I had learned early to assume something dark and lethal hidden at the heart of anything I loved. When I couldn't find it, I responded, bewildered and wary, in the only way I knew how: by planting it there myself…
