Looking forward to a long Paschal holiday. Our national day of military mourning, Anzac Day, falls half a fortnight past Maundy Thursday.

"La Disparition, a lipogrammatic classic, turns 50 today. You probably know who it’s by; if not, you can look it up to find out why I’m unwilling to say who did it." https://www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2019/march/a-common-policy?

Oh, Paris.

Just saw visual confirmation of a vast singularity, hiding within a horizon from which no light can fly, in a distant galaxy, M87. Amazing.

An oulipian task or artistic habit I took up a month ago: I draw illustrations of what my bot, @GLOSSATORY, outputs. It's an artificial synaptic array which mimics a dictionary, usually in dumb or funny ways. I only post drawings I find amusing, although I'm not much of a cartoonist. Warning: contains that glyph. Its account is at @GLOSSATORY

Might fuck around and post a lipogram

Also piling up clothing to discard, a la that inspirational lady from Japan, Mary Kondo, who is a bit of an oulipian, now that I think about it. Which glyphs do not spark joy?

Doing a lot of tidying and vacuuming today as it rains and rains outdoors

Holiday locations: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Washington DC, San Francisco

Happily planning a holiday in NYC in Autumn, that's right, Gotham, Tha Big Fruit, old Nova'boracum

Good morning!

Happy Gay and Sapphic Mardi Gras!
