This is the time of year for a favourite Old English word: the leaves are 'fallowing', from the verb fealwian, 'to turn yellow-gold'. In Anglo-Saxon poetry fealo (fallow) is the pale golden shade of fire, linden shields, sword hilts and autumn leaves. They fallow, then they fall.

@thefrogjester same, my mom needs no convincing and it's great

@bolobeii yeah i can carry my luggage but it's the lifting it above my head and onto a shelf part that seems to pose a challenge...

@bolobeii meanwhile i remain such a noodle that i needed to ask for help stowing my suitcase on an airplane yesterday

@bolobeii i'm also a relentless side sleeper and i just slept on my hand so my ear was elevated lol, but ik some ppl also use those donut pillows to get around it

Many did not consider barnstorming a suitable role for women but Pancho Barnes was truly a woman who knew no bounds. Read a new blog about the daring racer, stunt pilot, and entrepreneur: s.si.edu/3GDDdIV

@bolobeii going home is somehow both for me ... so comforting but also chock full of mental regression 😵‍💫

it's been ages ... what journals are open for poetry submissions?

@beowulfbbi when I don’t get As on my anthropology essays and realize that I don’t immediately excel at a style of writing I haven’t been practicing since high school 😭😭😭
