Many thanks to @burialmagazine.bsky.social for giving this poem a home!

Went to the shore for the weekend and since we're not drinking at the moment Nathan very smartly suggested reappropriating our usual wine budget to our ice cream budget. I am not able to disclose how much ice cream I consumed this weekend but I can endorse this as good marriage advice.

Starlings are making a buffet out of my baby veggie plants 😡

Can’t believe baby boy turns six today 🥲

Getting mixed messages from my dentist who told me about all the urgently broken things in my mouth and then scheduled me to get them fixed at the "soonest available" appointment, which is in the year 2027

short poem in @havehashad.com yesterday --

There's a lot of drugs I've never done but I can't imagine any of them feel better than overhearing passerby comment on how nice my garden looks.

Really happy that my rose is blooming :)

Is it possible to placebo effect yourself into feeling more awake by pretending your decaf coffee has caffeine in it? Asking for a (sleepy) friend

This #BandcampFriday let me recommend the new Tendrills album, Thrills, Spills, & Chills: tendrills.bandcamp.com/album/thrill...

"“I think we should go now,” I say." Delightful, eerie story by Daniel & such a great journal design.

Googling during Dead Poets Society (I saw Lara Flynn Boyle's name in the credits and wondered how I missed her: real blink-and-you'll-miss-it part) I found this great relic of a purer internet: www.peterweircave.com/dps/index.html

What if we bought an original EPFL branch 😍🫣🥰https://thebatoffgroup.com/home-search/listings/839911393436732154-1401-LIGHT-STREET

hope she’s having a good day 💖

1800 words on why landlords suck coming next spring :)

Going insane because I'm craving a specific food but don't know what it is

Just finished rescheduling my dental cleaning for the third time, after a nine-month waitlist and botching the paperwork twice. Hope springs eternal.

I wish I spoke bird. I'd like to offer feedback on some of the nesting locations I'm seeing this spring.

Ahoy!

🚨 New Solvej Balle day!! 🚨

Edouard Boubat, Stanislas at the Window, France, 1973.

I consider myself relatively well-informed on bookish/lit news and events around town, but for the third year running I've only seen a CityLit brochure/schedule roughly 24 hrs before the event is supposed to start. Maybe I'm just ootl or not following the right people, but idk

on a scale of 1 to 100, my support for democracy and protecting everyone's right to vote is 99. but i admit it used to be 100 before reading some of your tweets

"“What if other things change though?” “Well, everything is always changing,” I reassured him, in that way only fathers can fail at."

This sounds REALLY cool and I'd love to learn about something like this in Baltimore:

Late afternoon in the neighborhood

These are just wonderful: "She opens the door and sees a small white cat with a black spot on its head resembling parted hair and black markings on its feet resembling boots. It walks in and fixes itself a martini."

Driving in Baltimore must be so fun if you're stupid. Walking into work I watched a retired cop car drive the wrong way up the Cathedral St bike lane, turn onto Franklin, and then turn the wrong way down Park Ave.

Reading Jenny Diski’s “Stranger on a Train” and we’ve got a Peter Weir’s WITNESS mention 🚨

My adjoining neighbors mulched their garden and it looks so nice and I am seriously debating a sign or something so people know I am leaving the leaves On Purpose For The Pollinators and this is why my garden looks Like This and it is GOOD, REALLY

Had a really annoying morning, decided to treat myself to a pastry, and ended up spending more than $5 on a pain au chocolate that could fit in the palm of my hand. Surely this is grounds for France to consider my asylum case.

For a few weeks I've been working on a short essay about my first job and ever since, all of a sudden, I've been getting multiple spam calls a day from that same small town.

Daffodil report: CODE YELLOW @ CYLBURN and a lovely day for it!!

Hell yeah I've read Mavis Gallant, all my homies love Mavis Gallant

Happy Friday, cry with me about a nice whale and nice excavators.

I don't follow sports but I am feeling a sudden hot dog craving that I suspect is due to ambient opening day vibes

Saw bdot workers ticketing cars in the Charles Street bus lane today

This is not actually going to happen so I'm not going to get too worked up about it but this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Poe is so unhappy I’m trying to work at my desk. He sits behind me, just out of arms reach, mewing sadly until I get up and follow him to the bedroom rug for pats. Repeatedly!

ICYMI: start your week off with disgruntled locals and a little bit of hunting-based ethics:

Love the movement and sinister local color pulsing through this short story by @cpasko.bsky.social. Great read for your Sunday.

Daffodil report: not quite peak yet, though a fair amount in bloom. Perhaps a few days/next weekend if these temps continue?

This is lovely:

Delighted to share that my short story "The Flatlander," about central PA and black powder, is up at Grist today! gristjournal.com/2026/03/the-...

Ever since my car was stolen last fall State Farm keeps sending me letters telling me how much money I'd save if I just kicked that irresponsible Courtney Pasko off my policy.
