tl;dr the verdict from my doctor is that between the construction and its complications, the sleep deprivation of this summer has been so severe that my body actually has gotten out of the habit and needs to be reintroduced. Fortunately she believes it can be done. Have some links.
1. Canadians! Per my previous post about the sudden move on the part of the Canadian Coast Guard to destaff two crucial light stations in British Columbia, there are now two petitions which can be signed in support of reconsidering the surprise decision, one to the House of Commons and the other to the Union of Canadian Transportation Employees. For people of whatever nationality who wish to spread the news on Tumblr, sanguinarysanguinity has done the good work. Please sign if you can, signal-boost if you can't. Relevant people were not consulted and that stretch of coast hasn't been called the Graveyard of the Pacific for its offhand navigability.
2. When Alain Delon died, nearly every obituary seemed to refer to his trenchcoat in Le Samouraï (1967) as Bogart-inspired. This is blatant Alan Ladd in This Gun for Hire (1942) erasure.

selkie: "Goodbye gender studies; hello, Greek literature." Does the entire ancient world have bad news for New College of Florida. Aristophanes will have to take a number somewhere behind Athene and Axiothea and we haven't even gotten to the Bacchae.
I couldn't get a good scan of my favorite photo of Donald Swann out of Robin Muir's John Deakin: Photographs (1996), so I took a picture and am telling myself that the generation loss only adds to the scuffed-up Deakin aesthetic.
