Aircraft lavatories have a pipe to discharge waste, so it's technically a sewer. The Latin word for sewer is cloaca. Therefore, an airplane is definitely a type of mechanical bird.

I'm going to be disappointed when I have to retire this jumpsuit until next spring. #FineFemmeFriday

"Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow."

The Seikilos Epitaph is the world's oldest surviving complete musical composition (including notation), from the 1st or 2nd century AD. This Ancient Greek musical notation was found inscribed on a memorial monument in a Hellenistic area of what is now Turkey.

An English translation of the lyrics:

"While you live, shine
have no grief at all
life exists only for a short while
and Time demands his due."

And this same sentiment has carried on in song through to the 20th century:

Lawful good: September 1st, because a season starts on the first day of the month

Neutral good: When the leaves turn colours/The night of the Harvest Moon

Chaotic good: When pumpkin spice drinks become available

Lawful neutral: After Labour Day

True neutral: Autumnal equinox

Chaotic neutral: Hoodie weather

Lawful evil: 40% off Halloween decor at Michael's in August

Neutral evil: Fall is October only

Chaotic evil: April 30 Halfoween

You, a pedant: Fall starts on September 23rd.

Me, a spoopy: If you can't appreciate the poetry of starting the Halloween season with the full moon falling on Friday the Thirteenth, leave now.

The moon isn't visible from my window because another building is blocking it, but it's very close to passing into the open part of the sky – what I can see is a long and foggy section of brightness streaking out from behind the shadow of high rise balconies. Eerie moonlit clouds are one of the best things about the autumn night sky.

"Bioluminescent Mermaids" can be sung to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tune, and would also make a great cartoon.

The colour looks best when my hair is a mess (and in mixed lighting)

Pink clouds? And the sky is just giving them away?!

🎶And it's a hot one
Like seven ninjas from the midday sun🎶

@Alamantus It's adorable, but at smaller sizes the bee on the book isn't going to be very clear

Just noticed I pose pretty much the exact same way every time I take my picture with a mirror.

Ready for more fall colours, please

"The Torture Victim's Backside Hymnal" – music transcribed and played from a sheet music inscription on the butt cheeks of a torture victim in Hieronymus Bosch's "The Garden Of Earthly Delights."

The piano arrangement is surprisingly plinky and cheerful (The Ice Cream Truck Of Earthly Delights?) and there's a Gregorian chant version linked too.
