A red-winged blackbird waves his tail at the top of an evergreen tree, backed by a beautiful blue sky.
Even though we’ll soon be overrun by these screeching attackers, it seemed special to see my first red-winged black bird of the year.

...the armfuls of arum lilies that filled my bedroom in great glass jars…lilies with the heavy pollen that powders your fingers as if you had dipped them in turmeric. The lilies I always associate with him; that are white.
And stain you.

Oh wow. There may finally be accountability for the psychopaths who joined the siege of Sarajevo for sport. The so-called 'Sarajevo Safari.'

If you Google “Michael B. Jordan”, a little button pops up that gives him virtual flowers when you press it.

Kiki’s letters sound wonderful!
To quote Ted Lasso: “Living in the moment, it’s a gift. That’s why they call it the present.”
It’s a balancing act, though, isn’t it? You have to plan for the future, while still living in the present.
Great to support and engage with local artists. ❤️
The Jag? My guess: probably someone from out of town…
That’s so cool! What have you received so far?

Hi @mrmuleman.bsky.social 👋
I was on Twitter for the writers and the book recommendations, the essays, the poetry, the community. I am here now for the same. I’m a nerd. Please reply with a favorite recent essay or poem or story or book recommendation, and thank you.
Milton’s treatise is about free will.
Saunders’s seems to be about the lack of it…or questioning people who say they have no choice.

Black and white cover illustration of Milton’s Theology by Tobias Gregory showing an angel, presumably Lucifer, as he falls from heaven to Earth.
Black and white (sepia tinted) cover of George Saunders’s Vigil showing a woman falling through a dark and stormy sky. Compare and comment.
For a brief moment yesterday, I starting thinking about Milton’s Paradise Lost in connection to Saunders’s Vigil. Then I forgot about it.
I woke up to see this image this morning. Couldn’t help comparing the book covers.
