yes I said yes I will Yes

Happy Bloomsday!

Y'all don't have to write nigh-unreadable stream-of-consciousness novels about it, but do try to pay attention to the world and people around you today. Look for the strange details and, if you want to get really heavy, ruminate a bit on how little human sentience seems to have changed since we first achieved it, making it possible to liken a day spent walking around a familiar town to Odysseus's trip home from Troy, and to do it brilliantly and beautifully and without a trace of irony. In short, pay attention today: life is wondrous and mythical and it's going on all around and inside you.

That's what I'm going to do….
