Super-early RFA procedure tomorrow. Technically quite minor; emotionally my body files any medical under “ugh, not again.” 🙄
So…tonight I’m wide awake, fidgety, & will likely click ‘Checkout!’ on a 3AM insomnia book order.
📚What have you read lately that I should add to my must-read list?

The final part of Merwin's poem to poet John Berryman
Berryman
I had hardly begun to read
I asked how can you ever be sure
that what you write is really
any good at all and he said you can't

“To try to express one’s position in regard to the universe embraced by consciousness, is an immemorial urge. The arms of consciousness reach out…while the scientist sees everything that happens in one point of space, the poet feels everything that happens in one point of time.”

I recently used a utility to move everything over to Apple Music and Classical dream stream IDAGIO. Surprisingly easy.
With my heavy early-adopter Spotify habit, the change has taken a bit to get used to—thanks for a good reminder that default should be some other platform. 🎵

Spotify has done so much over the last decade to make life harder for musicians. Whatever your reason, it’s a great idea to boycott it.
Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.
We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

yes, you have a right to privacy in the library! the mission of public libraries is to afford everyone, in the broadest sense of the word, free access to the products of culture, in the broadest sense of the word—where “free” means both “you don’t have to pay” and “you are left the fuck alone.” 📚
