i had a friend when i was a teenager who, is anyone ever asked why, would say either: 1. why? cos your ass is dry or 2. why? cos y is a crooked letter both as good a reason as any other, sometimes

just remembered that when my youngest was in preschool there were two girls named amy, and one was called big amy and the other was little amy they were both 3 years old and the same size what

well i do love the song but every time i think what is your DEAL, barbry allen????

after almost two weeks it feels like my emotions and my body are more or less the same size again but i appreciate that this is a *for now* development and as always pending further revisions

(I really, really hate the word "distraction" when used in politics. Most often, stuff COMPOUNDS. Power accumulates. Oppression spreads wider. Almost nothing is a distraction.)

when my son was 8 we went to the national gallery with the sketchbook and drawing pencils which he had received at christmas and he sat and sketched whistlejacket from the painting which hangs there, in one of the rooms i share this in honour of the Year of The Horse

Happy year of the fire horse [Mark Rothko, Red on Red, 1969]

esch day i drive past a field which is more of a vacant lot, it has that unloved look of an in-between place, & now that the snow is melting there are pools of water on it where it fails to drain & just once, once! i would love to see great water birds: cranes, ibis, flamingos, land, their feathers

yes frank ocean dismantle me slowly and tenderly

I've read every Tubman biography at this point. For those interested, the materials from teach-ins I've facilitated about her over the years are here: radicalblackwomen.com/harriet/

i am looking at the magnolia across the street and i think i can the the buds that will be blooms, much later. at this time of year they thicken as they grow, and are covered in a kind of fur, to endure. this is your sign today, okay?

mark rothko, untitled 1969

the funeral is today, pray for me friends and pray for my mother please

he also told me that his bedtime routine consists of saying the our father then counting backwards from a hundred then making up nonsense phrases (one was ‘bouncing blue banana peels’) until he loses consciousness

my dad handed me the obituary he has written which completely neglects to mention that my mother had any children at all but which names him as ‘the love of her life’ lol (editing commences tomorrow)

in lieu of flowers i am going to get some little plants which people can take home with them she loved gardening! this just came to me and i reckon it’s a good idea

i’m going to tell you one thing, when i went on sunday she was asleep and unresponsive so i read to her from the quijote and when i left i hugged her and told her i loved her and she stirred and whispered i love you baby

my mother is now at rest. she outlived the country she was born in, went to a school where she wrote on a slate, grew up hungry but read books instead, learned languages, crossed borders and now has crossed the ultimate one. vjećnaja pamjat this is your final nursing home update

i played her fernando by abba on my phone (which she loves) and no one came to tell me to turn it down, that’s where it’s at the beginning when the flutes are fluttering over each other has always made me think of water birds coming to rest on the surface of some great river

Sve vojske angelske, pretečo gospodnji, apostola dvanaestorico, svi sveti sa bogorodicom, molite se za nas da se spasemo

you do not have to hand it to robber barons either ok

next door is taking out his recycling in a fur coat and fur hat and he is so cute and chic god please bless him and his family forever

i thought of this tortoise today, the memory of this event somehow surfaced and i wanted to see him and here he is i hope it makes you happy like it made me happy. can a person gently and tenderly hold a tortoise? it seems they can, so beautiful

as i left i saw the same lady coolly smoking in her ankle length fur coat, just like yesterday i complimented her on it and she said her ex husband had bought it, and it cost him 20k at that and then she smiled to herself i think will never be tired of this world and all the wonders in it

May life be strong and strange enough to defeat all its enemies and all of mine and all of yours and yours in you and mine in me 🖤 My favorite toast for a tuica shot comes from this poem by Frank O’Hara.

"There Is A Gold Light In Certain Old Paintings" Donald Justice. 1 There is a gold light in certain old paintings That represents a diffusion of sunlight. It is like happiness, when we are happy. It comes from everywhere and from nowhere at once, this light,

we don’t have hymns as such, the liturgy is sung. i think this is a troparion? anyway, i like this, they are singing at the table, and they are so happy at the end they applaud their own singing to western ears the harmony may sound strange but to me it is beautiful youtu.be/lZFqyMgP1LM?...

i made another giant tray of wontons this is a more accurate read of how much more winter there is* than some groundhog *how much? all of it baby, all

no evidence to cite for this but i am pretty sure that maintaining an ironic distance from your painful feelings (or pleasurable ones too, most likely) is an unqualified Bad For You thing

"average archivist eats 3 documents a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average archivist eats 0 documents per year. Documents Georg, who lives in the strongroom & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
