have you ever written a PALINDROME song?

try reflecting letters ("if i dad a hi-fi" by william bottin) or whole words (“i palindrome i” by TMBG). perhaps invent a palindrome band name and make a track for it!

or use a musical palindrome, like a rhythm/melody/progression that’s the same forward and backward.

bonus points for multiple types of palindromes!

when you're done, post it to fawm.org 👈

"Lorsqu’on considère que la souffrance est une propriété du travail – la preuve : tripalium –, on laisse entendre qu’il y a là une fatalité, et qu’il n’y a donc rien à y faire, ce qui est faux."

www.penserletravailautrement.frTripalium, une étymologie populaire… mais fausseLe mot « travail » viendrait du bas-latin « tripalium », qui était le nom d’un instrument de torture constitué de trois pieux. Cette étymologie rencontre, chaque fois qu’elle est citée, un franc succès auprès de ses auditeurs. Trepalium est même devenu le titre d’une récente série française de science-fiction dans laquelle, dans une ville éponyme, la minorité qui travaille est séparée par un immense mur d’une majorité de sans-emploi. Mais cette étymologie, communément admise, est fausse ou, à tout le moins, fort douteuse, ce que ne laisse pas supposer l’assurance avec laquelle elle est maintenant reprise [1]. L’instrument existe...

We once saw a song cycle by a musician we love nigh-unreservedly, on the subject of dreams, called "At Night We Walk in Circles and Are Consumed by Fire."

Besides being evocative of dreams, the title is a translation of a Classical Latin #palindrome.

In Latin it's "In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni," and it's a VERY cool palindrome because the reflection point neatly divides the two clauses of the sentence.

4/2/24 — Open 6-9p Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.

Today's date is a palindrome. 4224 or 2442, depending on your standard. 42 is the answer to Life, The Universe, & Everything according to Douglas Adams in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Odd subjects for a numerically even Tuesday. Today I present 2 books sharing 4 aliterative adjectives about unusual inventions. Enjoy!

An image combining 2 photos of Jim Murphy books. Each cover has a bold, dramatic pulp-magazine style title in red letters with a white drop-shadow. A large, white ring around a yellow-tan circle highlights a central illustration from old patent applications. Three smaller ones are arranged clockwise around the central image, at about 2, 4, & 7. On left is, "Baffling and Bizarre Inventions," with a tan cover. The center drawing is a man seated inside scaffold frame rigged with bicycle pedals, directional fans, and a control panel. The purpose of this device isn't evident. Clockwise: 1. An armless, domed, metal protective suit. 2. A large listening device with a shoulder-yolk harness. 3. A single long-coat to be worn by two people at the same time, side-by-side. On right is, "Weird and Wacky Inventions," in a dull-yellow color. The center features a naked man, upside down, a bulky harness holding waist and hips. A shoulder-yolk with hinged elbows is connected to the harness by a body-length central pole. His legs are literally strapped to the pole. Clockwise: 1. A parachute helmet and padded landing shoes, I think. 2. Another helmet with a wire at the base of the neck and four uncomfortably large attachments on top down the center. 3. A Victorian ladies'-shoe-shaped, three-wheeled stroller with an umbrella above the occupants, who appear to be a grown woman and baby with two young children.
