the answer is in another slice of cheese

i want to go home and read zadie smith #essays #writing

type it up & see what happens #writing

wonder what would happen if I didn't plan things. Like if I didn't plan meals or prepare my lunch for work. Would I wind up eating high-sodium instant ramen like some co-workers?

at a loss as to what novel to read. Been devouring poetry & short stories — L. Groff, L. Moore, Y. Li.; S. Heaney & R. Frost

satisfying clump of dust and #cat hair from the filter into the trash after a somewhat overdue vacuuming

Feb. rent should be prorated

beautiful clouds & snowy mountains today. And feeling quite northerly in terms of temps

@appletwigli.bsky.social just started Wednesday's Child and absolutely loving it 💙

hey #Olympics announcers— there's no such verb as"medaling"

Valentine's Day is asinine

in the new year, I am going to make more executive decisions about my own life #resolutions

absolutely beautiful morning, and it has nothing to do with #Christmas. Every day is special

Billie Holiday this morning while cooking #jazz #music

sunny side eggs, brown rice and asparagus has become one of my go-to dishes #meatfree #food #cooking #vegetarian

@exoacademian.bsky.social was wondering if you've yet read A New Science of Heaven? I'm only like 30pps in, but later in the book, it presents a theory that plasma accounts for the human spiritual experience & also "plasma people" whose intelligence exceeds ours. Pretty hefty topics & bold ideas

the Supreme Rubber Stamp Court

this sweetums is street rescue and is now a member of my household (as of a few days ago) #cats #catmom #kitties

who cares if the pope is American. This is not like a congressional seat or something. What fools.

I have robot neck

all the hypocrites are making themselves known today by wearing white.

2025 seems surreal to me

i guess at some point, going to the store becomes a social event you look forward to? I literally have grocery store friends now. Perhaps this indicates some imbalance in my social life

trying to adopt a cat and it turned out to be more arduous than I anticipated. Evidently people like taking home pets during the holidays, so currently shelters have little to no kitties. Eg. my local SPCA had only 1 cat on Saturday

my choices yesterday #books In the bird guide, nothing new, but it has cool field notes (which I love) and the pics are pretty good, too

today at the grocery store, someone thought I was a cop

had a lucid nightmare (if there is such a thing) of an ICBM launched at a country (not sure which) Not pleasant

when you buy stuffed animals does it mean you're losing your mind, or what does it indicate? 'Cause I just bought one.

resumed reading the news but canceled NYT subscription due to lax coverage. I could expound on the particulars but for now I won't. Will just say they are out of orbit in terms of being aware of certain realities news-wise

i'm taken aback that it's Dec. 1. I feel jaded and nostalgic, both, regarding the holidays.

I want to play jazz loudly but i live in an apt. Crazy trumpet jazz!!! Like Clifford Brown or Miles or Dizzy. Yes I can put on my AirPods, but it's not the same experience.

first attempt at cortado. It tasted pretty amazing #coffee

deactivated my X account for obvious reasons

waking from a nap, the phrase "I enjoy my magical journey" arose in my thoughts. In fact, I think that's what woke me up. It's a lovely sentiment

how do you have a happy holiday these days?

me last night being homesick and watching someone walk thru Greenwich Village #nyc via YouTube

gave up reading the news as of 11/6. Haven't yet fallen off the wagon

why does the song Starman make me sad

tip: you can't utter the word "nascent" and realistically expect that folks won't roll their eyes

does that logo on the phone in The Matrix (1999) look familiar?

urge for waffles

#espresso & Schumann on the Steinway recorded with warm acoustics #music #classicalpiano

from the 608-page tome "Mixing up the Medicine" #dylan #poetry #beatpoetry #music

I never thought there could be anything so equally reassuring and disturbing as geoengineering

just wanna shout out that (in case you hadn't already realized) that Starbucks is a disgrace to #coffee. If you're a true coffee lover, you shouldn't be anywhere near that joint

any Anne Sexton fans out there, check out the latest podcast by @backlisted.bsky.social 'Twas awesome, including clips of Sexton reading and even performing in her band 💜 #poetry #feminist #books #literary

happiness — someone abandoned a copy of the Sunday @nytimes.com at the coffee shop. Made off w/ Book Review section & mag insert featuring artists' residences

it seems like the worse someone's taste in #music is, the louder they play it
