"Many years ago, I loved a man I would have to leave. (Or: I loved a man because I would have to leave.) (Or: Because I had to leave this man, I would always love him.)" Another stunner for a Sunday morning. Love the fracturing of time in this piece, how all these departures echo against each other

tonight’s moon 🤍

AppleCare but for the heart

This made me want to write my own version. From the author’s note: “Maybe it’s like this: if life is a series of leavings, love is the longing to return.”

i will never regret how everything i ever did was in pursuit of love

“If you ask me about love, I’ll show you late winter light on the farmland—some liminal thing.” Love the longing in this beautiful @dinalrelles.bsky.social piece.

This is lovely. “Maybe if life is a series of leavings, love is the longing to return”

Be on the lookout for the supermoon 🌝 rising in the east! It's the first of 3 consecutive supermoons to end 2025. AKA the Harvest Moon, since it's closest full moon to the equinox. Nice view of it from Ron Cohn/Flickr this morning.

“Drive” was released on this day in 1992 as the lead single from Automatic For The People. In a 1992 Melody Maker interview @millsish.bsky.social said, “‘Drive’ is just telling kids to take charge of their own lives. Among other things.” Video directed by Peter Care. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UE7...
