I love Edward Gorey’s theory of art: “Art…is presumably about some certain thing, but is really always about something else, and it’s no good having one without the other, because if you just have the something it is boring and if you just have the something else it’s irritating.”

I remember listening to the Mountain Goats' "This Year" in 2016, the year I got divorced, and thinking, "This song is especially relevant to me now, in this year," and I've thought that again every year since.

Just referred to myself as an "Augustine girlie" in the group chat

Kids made the mistake of saying they were bored.
