   I Ain't Got No Body: Amos Tutuola's "The Complete Gentleman" - ReactorWelcome back to the Lovecraft reread, in which two modern Mythos writers get girl cooties all over old Howard’s sandbox, from those who inspired him to those who were inspired in turn. This week, we’re reading Amos Tutuola’s “The Complete Gentlemen,” first published as part of his novel The Palm-Wine Drinkard in 1952. Spoilers ahead. […]Reactor

   highly praised and little read (@hannah@posts.rat.pictures)Markdown support would be cool but what i really want is to be able to illuminate my toots with elaborate uncial capitals of gold leaf and vermilionrat pictures

4. had to “Draw a bunny" for a work training thing and there weren’t any rules so I printed someone else’s garfield sonic chimera, placed the paper out over my ipad, and used an apple pencil to trace their illustration into a notes.app note.

5. people double park in the center turn lane between chavez and 22n on Sundays mostly, to go to https://realitysf.com or when the lot overflows at the https://www.driscollsmortuary.com

   afaik there is no legitimate other reason for the center lane to even exist. Lefts from Valencia are not causing traffic jams like lefts off of east bound Cesar Chavez do

   Given they can just as easily double park on the new death-lane, why didn’t the city extend the death-lane to Mission??

   the center lane should instead be an overhead-wire trolly (modern or historical, w/e) that just bounces between mission and market all day long, back and forth, back and forth. I wonder what the headways would be with such a short route and where the shunting or passing spots might fit?
