Heather Cox Richardson for Maine Senate. If she is willing to do it.

Who up watching Will Richard and Yaxel Lendeborg balling out in summer league and allowing themselves to feel hope?

looking forward to staying inside reading books and watching movies this weekend instead of looking at an idiotic light show in the clouds

Fights! By Scott McClanahan can’t get here fast enough

It feels like things are finally, slowly changing

Not having a great summer but finding the melancholic novels of WG Sebald to be a lovely companion through these warm months

Short stories are not only the coolest thing and fun to write and fun to read, they also seem to be an inherent part of our nature as humans if you think about the bible being lots of short stories, Gilgamesh being on tablets, the Iliad/odyssey having chapters, the 1001 Nights etc etc

Every book I bring on the train gets a little beaten up and ruined but that’s ok it makes me love them more for sharing this experience of riding the train with me

Well, the city of San Antonio knows what it has to do if it wants to win: first, get yourself a Muslim democratic socialist mayor

Reading for the rest of the year mapped out more or less: reading Don Quixote, Leslie Marmon Silko, Willa Cather and Donald Barthelme this summer. Reading Lonesome Dove in the fall, with a friend. Going to pick up volume 2 of Proust again at the end of the year. And reading Lord of the Rings daily

Yeah sooo update… this might be one of the greatest novels ever written? And definitely a new best book I’ve ever read. Jesus Christ

Woke up at 5 due to my cats screaming to be fed. And started reading this, a book that’s been recommended to me for years and which is (shocker) amazing. Thanks, loud cats

how can you not be happy for Wemby???

If you’re wondering what it’s like to be a writer I just out loud said “oh, I know!” immediately followed by “eh, I don’t know.”

You are like an annoying freak to me

I miss Marc Maron’s podcast so much. His particular blend of political talk, comedy, mental health and sobriety was so comforting and consistently improved my week. I guess there’s lots of episodes I can re listen to. But I miss hearing his new take. Anyone have anything like this they listen to?

The emotions from Victor Wembanyama

Spurs / Knicks finals. Life can still be so beautiful.

Before the game even started, I said Wemby’s about to win his first conference finals… I don’t know, what made me say that…

Go spurs go

Writing an essay about Don Quixote & Islam which I expect to take many years, and that’s great actually. This will be fun.

Will only be watching the Columbo channel on Roku this weekend

Rainy in dc today, people are walking, getting coffee, stressed from work, trying to get to the gym, I don’t like it here, still, but I hate it less, because now it’s familiar, familiar is ok, or less bad, I keep writing poems and my friends and family back home are still asleep which makes me smile

Bout that time

I want too many stupid things so I made a list of all the stupid things I would like to buy and whenever I have extra money I’ll buy one of them. This is better than saving money!

Reading Ada Limón at the airport. See you in 5 minutes Albuquerque

Michigan, one day, one day the sun will shine again

I'm the LeBron James of making coffee in my woke little French press

Very grateful yesterday I got to hear Ada Limón, former poet laureate of the US speak at Santa Fe literary festival with Jake Skeets. Words about home, “why poetry,” and service. I need to keep poetry in my life. It’s saved me more times than one.

Telling my parents my heretical thoughts about Don Quixote this morning

Dear god it’s Franco please forgive me for eating 3 breakfast sandwiches today on my day of travel

Waiting to read those gigantic Robert Caro books about Lyndon B Johnson until i die

I didn’t watch 4 movies this week. I’m a failure.

Me rereading my own writing nodding in agreement.

Misheard “I hate to lose” as “I hate Deleuze”

Just discovered Borges described Kafka’s work as “a parable or a series of parables whose theme is the moral relation of the individual with god and with his incomprehensible universe” my god what a bar

You should cancel your Sunday plans to read the warm, picaresque fiction of charles portis

Ate 1 bagel and 1.5 croissants today

‘I cannot see what flowers are at my feet, Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs, But, in embalm’d darkness, guess each sweet Wherewith the seasonable month endows The grass, the thicket, and the fruit-tree wild; White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine…’ ~ Keats for #BookWormSat 1/2

Wake up babe we’re going back to Detroit for game 7
