Corsican vendetta knife with floral detail

“may all your wounds be mortal”

This is beautiful.

Though, it’s not “all your wounds” (tutte le tue ferite) but rather “May my wound” (la mia ferita).

It’s feminine singular and I do kinda love the personalization of the writing.

But it’s also … it’s kind of grammatically incorrect but it’s also very colloquial and dialectal.

Che la mia ferita sia mortale is more than just a saying … it’s almost an invocation.

It’s also less ‘may’ and more ‘that’ so it should be more like …

That my wound be lethal

the old-timers I played with back in Iowa used to say “it’s good enough for folk music” when we got tired of tuning and now it’s entered my vocabulary as an all-purpose useful phrase for beating back perfectionism. 

sure, i could make this closer to perfect if i put in more time and effort and there might be circumstances under which that’s a good idea, but for now i’ll get more joy and use out of it if i just accept the kind of wonky version and keep going.

Some variants of this I’ve heard, if folk music isn’t your jam:

  • Good Enough For Shakespeare (used to justify odd word choices, cliche’d plot devices, and putting Dick Jokes in the middle of serious work)
  • Good Enough For Government Work (Used when you can’t finagle the math so you round up and get on with your life)
  • Good Enough For Saint Anthony (used by my Catholic Grandmother, usually when something went wrong in the kitchen)
  • Good Enough For The Lutherans (Used by catholic great-aunt, usually when we were running late for something)
  • Good Enough For Fish And Biscuits (Great-Uncle Francis said this all the tie and I have no idea what it means but the man was an overwhelming sucess at life so I guess it works)

guys at my university I have a part time job where my sole responsibility is filling up the piano humidifaction systems with water

I literally am a piano waterer & tbh I kinda feel like I’m thriving

I feel like I need to add that I carry around this water jug that kinda looks like a regular watering can and when people ask me what I’m doing I just say “watering the pianos” and walk away
