When you're alone and life is making you lonely Ye Can Always Go - Ach!

I am going to entertain the fiction that if I work nice and hard today, 5 o’clock will roll around, and I will be able to Log Off For The Weekend

“An old teacher asked my parents how I’m doing” is a classic reason for crying

electricliterature.com/your-duck-is... This is an very good short story the fires have brought to mind.

This was great. It reminded me a bit of Marcovaldo by Italo Calvino, inasmuch as it is an episodic story about, among other things, the dawn of modernity in the lives of country people. Very funny and conversational. If u liked Laurus you might like this book

WITH HIM WHEN LIFE IS O’ER!!! ‘part from “Africa” this is my favorite Sacred Harp tune FAR AND AWAY!

The vocal melody from “Tractor Rape Chain” is so nice to sing

I was just telling a colleague how much this calmed me down when we got bad air a few summers ago

Lots of men suck but J-P is awesome

me getting increasingly worked up and heated on the pnin podcast I’m doing tomorrow with james wood: and they hated him because he had the ideal male body type … and they hated him because he had hoes

I keep thinking about that show Midnight Gospel from a few years back. Probably Adult Swimslop, but I remember enjoying kt

You know it’s all over when Keen and Merrell start making sneakers for you

Raffi you’re so right

Just had to ask my Uber driver to stop scrolling Youtube while driving :)

Awesome!

I do not want anyone to hurt Amy Coney Barrett or her family but good Lord I do not feel bad for her

@jakeall.bsky.social witchery is such a useful concept. Looking out at the wildfire smoke and thinking “yeah… this is some witchery bullshit”

I may have posted it before but in case you haven’t seen her here is my capybara pebble. She had fallen out of an old flint wall in Linton Cambridgeshire & was lying on the pavement 🤎

The last few days have felt pretty bad, because of writing insanity, but I also literally did not lose sleep at any point. No insanely late nights or insanely early wake-ups! That’s not typical for my writing process and I feel really happy about it

There is not enough time to admire the world. There never has been. Do not delay!

“Be well, do good work, and keep in touch” is a goated sign-off

This is one of the weirdest New York things to me. Don’t you guys know that you’re COOL??? You don’t gotta do stuff like this!

I love my raggedy ass cuticles but I would also love for my nail polish to sit down right…. Tricky tricky……

Reminder if you are not Catholic do not say top o' the mornin'

I have so much less to do today than I thought. I am so glad about this

gofund.me/ca6fb9ca9 Hey: this creature and her owner are really dear to me. I will hold you in high esteem forever if you help them deal with these medical expenses/issues. Irma is an incredible being with a generous heart, and so is her owner, and they deserve many more years together.

Ok, we are starting “the clock.” How!!! Many!!! Woooooooords!!!

Think I wrote about 3000 words today

The intensity of yearning the mind can produce during a period of being deeply locked in is sort of astonishing. I can’t tell you how badly I want to go to the beach

Benoit Blanc (incredulous): Is this nominally august chamber even fully cognizant of how many of its number have slipped the veil?

This is what my father-in-law looks like whenever he falls asleep on a couch

I showed a VERY grumpy 5 year old my sparkly nail polish today, and it made her smile

could not unhear this. sorry

I disclaim all participation in dead senator discourse. I just want my friends to look at pinnipeds

I made some strawberry sauce last weekend (strawberries, strawberry jam, sugar, water, lemon juice, and a tiny bit of creme de cassis) and eating it with yogurt this week has been revelatory

I just remembered how delicious really fresh apple cider can be

I didn’t freak out but I did cry about a scenario J-P brought up, which is what if I was a loaf of bread but we were still married Him: I’d probably keep you in the freezer, and take you out sometimes to say hello Me: I’d miss out on so much of life 😭😭😭

Dudes rock? No. We cannot say this. But it is in the soul of the dude to rock, if only he will listen to the Spirit.

Kind of a terrifying thunderstorm here atm

I feel, physically, like I am going to freak out today

oh, this old thing? It’s just my one concession to glee

Lucky to have a job I don’t mind doing on a Saturday. So long as it ain’t too much Saturday…

Good morning

I’m a bad bitch, to be sure… but there’s sadness in my heart
