“Portrait of Princess Tatiana Alexandrovna Yusupova” (detail) (1858) by Franz Xavier Winterhalter (1805-1873).

Not mine, but this is what came through Moore this afternoon. Apparently it wiped out neighborhoods, killed a bunch of people, and hit both an elementary school and a very nice movie theater that served food to your seat. Unfortunately it’s not the first time they’ve had something like this; Moore tends to experience the bad storms. I used to live nearby.

Oh, okay.
If NPR reported on a city trapped between the Twilight Zone and H.P. Lovecraft. Simultaneously eldritch and mundane.

What I want is a necklace that has a single vintage mahjong tile with a “7” of some kind on it. It shouldn’t be hard to find, but the internet is turning up nothing.
