"Of all flowers: you."
– Kim Addonizio, from "You Were", Wild Nights: New and Selected Poems
A fallstreak hole is a large gap, usually circular or elliptical, that can appear in cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds. Such holes are formed when the water temperature in the clouds is below freezing but the water, in a supercooled state, has not frozen yet due to the lack of ice nucleation. When ice crystals do form, a domino effect is set off due to the Bergeron process, causing the water droplets around the crystals to evaporate: this leaves a large, often circular, hole in the cloud.

gentle reminder: your voice and your presence is a comfort to someone; maybe a friend, maybe an animal, maybe to yourself; even if you don't notice.
Wait, isn't that the high king of the Noldor?
the thing about the silm is like. you realise everyone was always destined to fail and through the text they realise they were all always destined to fail and the fabric of the world itself is against them but they still keep trying and hoping while knowing they probably won’t be alive to see whatever brightness the future has in store
Playing around with more options for my starry creature series
The beast marched through the labyrinthine streets of the city’s old town accompanied by a 42-foot spider for the group’s latest production The Guardian of the Temple. The pair of machines performed an operatic interpretation of the myth of Ariadne, a Cretan princess who helped Theseus overcome the Minotaur, to live music. These impressive kinetic sculptures are La Machine’s latest project from their oeuvre of mechanical bestiary which has operating worldwide since 1999.
