On my bike ride into work this morning a hawk swept over me in the sky, landed on a lamppost, and then took a dump. I never realized I held assumptions about what hawk poop would look like, but this moment absolutely defied them. If this wasn’t the Kantian sublime, I don’t know what is.

this thread will record my first watch ever of Dawson’s Creek with my husband, a long time fan

It’s been four years since Gaby passed on the equinox, but she is often in my thoughts and her magic still touches me. She was my Kira of Xanadu. I wish we could have another skate at Moonlight, another song at the Smog Cutter, another all night hang with another flip of a record.

I finally caught the sourdough bug! my starter is named Luka Doughcic 🏀

I just unearthed a doc file that has a ton of messages I saved from my 2003 friendster profile days. Social media messaging used to be fun, like being a character in an irreverent epistolary novel.
