a close-up of cave drawings and symbols

Ecury

n.
a conversation that spans huge intervals of time, kept alive by contributors who casually overlay their thoughts as if no time had passed, which effectively compresses it all into a poignant temporal mash—an online thread that waits years between replies, a constitution being amended by successive generations, or a cave painting fleshed out in sessions ten thousand years apart, by artists who might each have been using the same discarded piece of charcoal.

Basque ekurrikatz, a piece of charcoal used for drawing. Pronounced “ek-yuh-ree.”
