WTF is wrong with them???
THE DARK HOUR The dark hour came in the night and purred by my ear. Outside, in rain, the plush of the mosses stood higher. Hour without end, without measure. It opens the window and calls its own name in.
Jane Hirshfield
Some of my favorite writers are in there (George Saunders Marie Howe, Hanif Abdurraqib, Ann Patchett...) but also lots of people who are new to me. So it's giving me future reading ideas!
A brightly colored book cover, like swirls of paint, with these words: New York Times Bestseller THE BOOK OF ALCHEMY: A Creative Practice for an Inspired Life SULEIKA JAOUAD Author of Between Two Kingdoms
Sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine and this wonderful book: brief essays about journaling from a wide variety of people, each followed by a prompt. Easy to read in spurts, and prompts that are helping me get back to the page without pressure.
I'm hoping we retire him in November!
I really hate having bigoted assholes as my senators.

No. Gu and Liy haven't turned it into a debate. Others have
JFC.
This is exactly what I was thinking!
government
should never involve non-human oversight in any capacity that affects living, breathing people
education
should never involve non-human oversight in any capacity that affects living, breathing people
art, literature, creativity

Oh, yeah, I read this! Forgot his name.
I remember watching it. I was 12, watching with my grandmother in Ohio bc my mom and dad were in DC where the Army sent him for back surgery at Walter Reed before we moved there that fall. We ended up living down the street from someone who testified: Jack Caulfield, took clemency offer to McCord.
And why in the world would I want to read writing that never breaks rules for effect and never does anything surprisingly strange with syntax? I don't know who Kevin Roose is, but he seems like a ridiculous person.
The "wisdom of the ages" about coffee orders.
Such a ridiculous person!
You mean it's not satire? Because if it were satirizing assholes complaining about kids these days, it'd be hilarious 😂
from now on, whenever i get bored of something, i’m going to say it’s “very complete, pretty much”
Note: McBride is actually an ordained Presbyterian elder in the same denomination as Talarico.
Talarico is in seminary. But unless he is also an elder like McBride (more common than you'd think), she's currently in a higher office than him in local church polity. religionnews.com/2024/11/25/b...
As an Ohioan, I gotta say, OSU is really f'd up.
I just assume those people are historically, culturally, and politically illiterate, block and move on.
Resharing because everyone needs some Mary Oliver at one time or another.
Condolences to your family. And thank you for sharing Elizabeth's clear and heartfelt words.
The first person plural here is an interesting choice. Is it standard for this kind of statement? It strikes me as inaccurate.
"conservative influencer"??
JFC. There's nothing conservative about Lang. Stop using "conservative" when what you mean is far right extremist or white nationalist, or more concisely: bigot.
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game
My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/iran...
has there been any other photo of Rubio smiling so smilingly since he became Sec of State and adopted a permanent mask of utter depressive obliteration?
Oooh, thanks for sharing! I just ordered the Maggie Nelson.
In his regular weekly newsletter, @repgreglandsman.bsky.social went full Orwellian Newspeak trying to explain his vote for Trump's War on Iran. It's astounding how stupid he must think his constituents are.
🤢🤢🤢
Rereading my favorite Mary Oliver poem, one I've shared often with friends, and came across this Devin Kelly essay I read when he posted it but had forgotten about. So good.
Mary Oliver's "In Blackwater Woods"
