I see crows seldom enough that it’s a treat for me when I do see them. They’re so smart! And they’re not pigeons! I am a crow fan! Team corvid! 🖤🖤🖤

Ooh, I like this a lot. And I see the A24 store has other Midsommar goodies.

Alas, the tree topper wouldn't arrive by Christmas:

This, all of it.

Here’s a poem by Thich Nhat Hanh (Vietnamese Zen Buddhist guy) that I like. Maybe it comes across as a bit … corny? I don’t know. I like the simplicity of it, and find it consoling.

I especially like that this is described as a “crisp, fresh salad”. Does that refer to the sad, wilted scrap of iceberg lettuce upon which this creation is plopped?

(I assume that when lettuce is called for in this kind of recipe, “sad”, “wilted” and “iceberg” are implicit.)
