This and That

[da]

It's quite shocking to me that in something like 9 hours, melted_snowball and I will be in Italy. Yow.

In honour of sitting in an airport, for reasons that will become clear if you follow the link: this is one of the best science-fiction short stories I've ever read. If you like "Castle in the Sky", Epistemology, or steam-punk:

Biographical Notes to ‘A Discourse on the Nature of Causality, with Air-Planes’ by Benjamin Rosenbaum

My favourite line from it, which is also the line that caused me to track down the story online (from eeyorerin's profile): "We are bodies. But we are also the stories we tell about each other."
