🔮 Runes:
➀ Mannaz – shared minds 🤝
➁ Thurisaz (rev) – inward thorn ⚔️
➂ Ansuz (rev) – tangled tongues 🌀
📜 Hexagram 41 – Decrease:
To gain, release.
Less is not loss—it is focus.
The mountain bows; the spirit sharpens. ⛰️🌬️
#Runes #IChing #Divination #Hexagram41 #Occult #MysticSigns
⚖️ Decrease is not deprivation—it’s devotion.
Cut away what no longer serves.
Old truths fade so new wisdom may rise.
Miscommunication calls for stillness, not noise.
Let insight return like breath. 🌬️🕊️
#IChing #Runes #SpiritualWeather #EsotericWisdom #Hexagram41
🜂 Three signs align:
– The self seeks unity
– Protection turns to friction
– Insight dims, awaiting silence
Let the wheel turn.
What is shed clears the way.
The soul, newly honed, steps forward. 🌑➡️🌕

Strange little archive
[Verse 1]
Cut-up days in a coffee stain
Tiny notes in the margin rain
One more link in a paper chain
(keep clicking, keep clicking)
Flat cat stares from a JPEG frame
Inside jokes with a hundred names
Pocket worlds in a scrolling lane
(it’s nothing, it’s everything)
[Chorus]
Strange little archive
I lose my life in your sidebar sky
Strange little archive
Brain taking snapshots every time I slide
Strange little archive
Can’t look away from your restless mind
Strange little archive
(strange little, strange little)
[Verse 2]
Postcard dream of a thrift-store god
Mascot mask and a hotel lobby dog
Half-typed thought in a colored fog
(so specific, so terrific)
Old cartoons in a lunchbox glare
Time-stamped ghosts in a folding chair
You were there
I was almost there
(we were never there at all)
[Chorus]
Strange little archive
I lose my life in your sidebar sky
Strange little archive
Brain taking snapshots every time I slide
Strange little archive
Can’t look away from your restless mind
Strange little archive
(strange little, strange little)
[Bridge]
[Spoken
Tight over bass and drums]
One tab open
Two tabs open
Seventeen tabs open
Is this a map
Or just a mood?
Is this a diary
Or a door?
[Chorus]
Strange little archive
I lose my life in your sidebar sky
Strange little archive
Brain taking snapshots every time I slide
Strange little archive
Can’t look away from your restless mind
Strange little archive
(strange little, strange little)
Quick file renamer
Wrote this to clean up data from OUT-prefixed image files that I mistakenly saved without an extension on my tablet. I’m keeping my hand in to stay on top of Python for the hell of it. Since I was too lazy to rely on something else to do the job, I figured I could write something faster than a search engine would give me solid results.
I’d guess it took me longer to write comment lines than the code itself.

Day 20,623 doodle
Watching the Manila and Guatemala episodes of Somebody Feed Phil, scribbling on the tablet.
Speaking of Thundarr on a recent podcast I was listening to (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/swords-and-scrolls/id1740596089?i=1000718152383), it seems there is about a 4% of that one asteroid hitting the moon
Theoretically big enough to create a mile wide crater and raise enough dust to upset some of our satellites for a bit. No word if it will split in half and usher in a new world of savagery, super-science, and sorcery.
Watched midway through the second season of Poker Face. I really liked season one, but two is kind of sucking for me right now. Maybe I’m in a bad mood, or maybe it just isn’t good this season?
I love 70s detective shows like Columbo, Rockford, etc., and it had that vibe with a modern sensibility in season one. Season two feels like it dropped the ball.
Day 20,622
While I like all the Superman logo variants, this is the one I first discovered back in the 70s, and is still what I think of rather than the current movie Alex Ross “slash” or golden age “police shield.”
I like the S as kind of bold, condensed, with a distinct top serif and a bulb at the end.
Superman always knew the wealthy
