It’s okay, Jays. You’ll get ‘em in game four, which starts ten minutes from now.

One of my favourite poets has a new collection out. Pick up a copy of Randy Lundy’s “Something for the Dark.” It’s so good; he’s one of the best.

It’s a thing
when blurbs have the opposite-from-intended effect: there's a book you really like and then you see they've slapped a blurb on the cover by someone you don't want your taste to be associated with so you don't really want to post about it

"The horizon, Georgia O'Keeffe reminds us, is an idea, a perception, and not a literal or physical line. O'Keefe's watercolors ... captured this quality by leaving a thin horizontal gap of open paper not colored by pigment."

Thankful we keep listening to business/fossilfuel companies, not scientists & environmentalists; grateful for being unable to go out on a summer day b/c can’t breathe the air. What a future for the children and non-humans who didn’t make these choices & didn’t need all this crap to live a good life.
