“I don’t understand Roomba design,” Martin says.
The Roomba’s “?” LED lights up.
“You have a dirt light,” Martin says, “and that’s fine. And the ‘?’ I get. But why would you need an LED for ‘Evolution occurs over the course of multiple generations?'”

Martin looks rueful.
“Ah,” he says.

Originally commissioned and performed by Houston Ballet in 2019, Reflections was written for two pianos and eleven dancers. A studio recording of the seven movements is now available; engineered, mixed and mastered by Ryan Streber with performances by pianists Timo Andres and Conor Hanick. Released via Asthmatic Kitty Records, Reflections is, in Stevens words, about “energy, light and duality.”

agreed I was just really confused about what was going on with Western MA and was hoping someone could figure that out.

03/05/2023 Rumbled! In our defense, if the chaotropic tumblr hivemind had voted for the Eight Foot Tall Jagged Iron Torus, Constructed For Unknown Purpose, Free To Good Home, but we'd been unable to procure it, tumblr might have been Very Disappointed In Us. So I put the poll in while the torus-bearing crane truck was pulling up the driveway.

Details photographed the next day, in fog.

While we were cleaning out the cracks, we found dried out little segments of rose cane, and beneath them, twisty honeysuckle tendrils. Apparently the Eight Foot Tall Jagged Iron Torus, Constructed for Unknown Purpose, Free To Good Home instills in everyone who sees it the intense desire to grow climbing plants on it. Some dark day perhaps we will all finally know and rue the Purpose of the Eight Foot Tall Jagged Iron Torus, Free to Good Home. But in the meantime, it sleeps under a curling green blanket and dreams of blossom and berry, lifting sunwards.
