I thought this was just beautiful. Kurt Vonnegut takes a walk to mail a letter:
She calls out, “Where are you going?” And I say, “I am going out to get an envelope.” And she says, “Well, you’re not a poor man. Why don’t you buy a thousand envelopes? They’ll deliver them, and you can put them in a closet.” And I say, “Hush.” I go next to the postal convenience center down the block at the corner of 47th Street and Second Avenue. The woman behind the counter says, “Thirty-nine cents for a stamp.” I say, “I only brought thirty-seven. When did that change?” She looked at me a long time. “Thirty-seven isn’t enough.” “Well that oughta be enough for one envelope,” I said. The line was getting longer. The lady moved her hand into her coat. I knew this routine. I backflipped behind the man behind me in line, wrapping my elbow around his throat as I landed. By the time the stamp seller had unloaded her clip, I had full cover. The gentleman’s body dropped to the floor, six holes smoking. The package he was carrying fell to the floor with a heavy clunk. Whatever was in there, it would do. I rolled my foot over the cardboard and did a “flick up” as they call it in soccer. I bounced the package once or twice on the back of my foot as the mail lady reloaded, then I launched it high and spun 360 to deliver my patented “Rising Phoenix kick”. The package caught fire as it shattered through the protective plexiglass window and struck the woman’s head with all the force and hatred I had learned to channel in my grueling tutelage under five fallen Wudang masters in my youth. The lady’s body exploded off of her bones, leaving just a blackened skeleton spinning in her office chair. “So it goes,” I said, but no one laughed. I guess they weren’t big readers. And I go home. And I have had one hell of a good time. We are dancing animals. How beautiful it is to get up and go out and do something. We are here on Earth to fart around. Don’t let anybody tell you any different.

“The Shape of Stories” began as the basis for Kurt Vonnegut’s anthropology master thesis at University of Chicago in the late 1940s. It was rejected as the committee felt Vonnegut’s theory was too simplistic; He felt the committee thought his theory was “too much fun"

Here's this from #MotherNight by #KurtVonnegutJr: (the #book / #novel)

by the way, I'm still getting used to how this whole #alttext thing works, but I am trying to include a general description of what the passage in each image contains
A passage from Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut Jr with a section highlighted of the main character reprimanding a side character for living their whole life focusing on who/what he hates A passage from Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. where the protagonist tells a side character how foolish they are to hate someone/thing so much that he convinces himself God must hate that thing too. The foolishness of viewing oneself as wageing war with pure evil and thinking themselves virtuous

Dr. Kevorkian
Dr. Kevorkian was a controversial figure in the 1990s when he began providing unsanctioned assisted suicide service to terminally-ill patients. Kevorkian believed he was helping put an end to pain and suffering for people, but doing so without approval from governing bodies and medical boards, which landed him in a lot of trouble. We review his life and controversy as well as the top of medical aid in dying in general. We'll share our thoughts and perspectives on this complex topic.  Recommendations - Abraham: Shrinking (season 3; https://tv.apple.com/us/show/shrinking/umc.cmc.apzybj6eqf6pzccd97kev7bs) - Shane: The Silo Series (https://hughhowey.com/books/) Holidays (4/15/2026): - Anime Day - Banana Day - Income Tax Pay Day - Jackie Robinson Day - Microvolunteering Day - National ASL Day - National Griper’s Day - One Boston Day - One Day Without Shoes - Rubber Eraser Day - School Librarian Day - That Sucks Day - Titanic Remembrance Day - Universal Day of Culture - World Art Day - Canada Book Week - Holocaust Remembrance Week - International Trombone Week Links and References:  - https://www.biography.com/scientists/jack-kevorkian?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=mgu_ga_bio_md_pmx_prog_mix_us_23714526419&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23709185673&gbraid=0AAAAApTwOX01mKncxazFbedZzW3FKJnvL&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkMjOBhC5ARIsADIdb3cDx891VSAYDiwrS-NA6xusSRJuVnDalBpeVTVHca8Bd7dRO2NQJ6gaArVWEALw_wcB - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9588508/ - https://www.mydeath-mydecision.org.uk/key-statistics/ - https://www.dignityindying.org.uk/why-we-need-change/the-facts-about-assisted-dying/ - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8655630/ - https://www.heritage.org/health-care-reform/report/four-problems-physician-assisted-suicide - https://aul.org/physician-assisted-suicide/history/ - https://daily.jstor.org/history-euthanasia-movement/
