perhaps it is an infants version of this https://hell.twtr.plus/media/dc5a3fca8ba393d8949ceacecb6f1aa628cee1ee07e7818b7bf147349e83a0a3.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/9ab1d626e0fdaaaa8213a72abe73d41c23a24c255c5efec997ae670097f11876.file

looking at the linked products for my stuff on amazon i think with no context for what this is, the look of this item is really noteworthy. baby’s first panopticon. its looking at me. unblinking. does it contain a mechanical soul? feels like a kid in 3000 AD might play with this https://hell.twtr.plus/media/9f383151342a25dc10bcb07288c25651a18550f213dd4413d32ec10b54fb2ecd.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/3f7eb8458c56f792d8033920e065c867c8864b624853077752e4f32f54e69131.file

this has been the most unexpected aspect of the last few years of my life. a kitten, a baby girl, i never would have connected them over to men in battle, men going to their limit and beyond. but they have no choice. to grow and survive, they enter the domain of cosmic conflict.

an adult man has so much power: if theyre giving their all to something, its a wide vista. its hard to stand anywhere to see it. the small beings are like a microcosm. you can see it all: they push themselves to their limit constantly - real struggle. they are noble, in this way.

as a man (i do not know what its like to be a woman), you enshrine and imagine these life or death struggles. you sense the nobility of giving everything you have to something difficult - but its rare to see a grown man in this state. this is a state small being are often in.

there is a notion in some masculine spheres that to care for small creatures: infants, small animals, is feminine. i can say: its unique to be outside looking in on a being engaged in a total struggle - it becomes irrelevant what the struggle is: climbing, or buttoning a jacket.

fun fact: this eleanor farjeon rhyme refers to an actual event and specific tree. i heard that in some places they still celebrate a holiday called ‘royal oak day’. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/e4333bb610e2793d3fd25ed0424a310cb1aa2cc5e337d93c762002952eb58293.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/4e21d74d30ba56d997ec98272513a39eb2e0f0dd0e4f31c627fe021735e42dca.file

UK review: total approval. i assume this man is qualified to speak for the entire country. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/aafc58aba0de005fd35a839f75d9d0de243b779c9dff6acdf82a0362c1e65d99.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b1e79d1655546ed2e57525eaa525c6cb8930bf3c8e6713bc217e04ff260a26d1.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/81e689eada5a4911ed4a5bac0eb9a9b9a8342acb510512d8fdde79fa9f1f260e.file

my friend had his wedding a few years ago on the winter solstice. now he got in a fight with his wife about if their anniversary is the date the solstice was that year, or the solstice itself (which moves). this is like a 3000 BC ‘our civilization just got a new calendar’ problem
