art, stories, poems, some horses, books, plants, movement, meditation. in my Bartleby lifestage.
I… like horses very much but plot wise this was. A lot and somehow not enough?

Characters didn’t bode super well for attempts at writing outside of one’s identity lane.

I signed up for a science newsletter thinking that would be some sort of reprieve and the first article is “1 in 50 chance asteroid collides with earth in 2032.”

And you know what? A novel horror is a reprieve.

This was an odd one made v good by a superb narrator.

Uneasy book about a poet who works with an AI to write a long poem. Michaels worked with an AI to write parts of the book.

It felt a bit unsatisfying. I wanted the younger generation to lash out at the poet.

First time seeing Come From Away. Cried through the whole thing basically (mostly
happy tears). Why do hospitality and kindness feel like historical artifacts?

I have a suggestion for you. In times of trouble and strife, there is therapeutic benefit in being among trees and in physical contact with them. So if you can, go hug a tree today, the bigger the better. This huge old chinkapin oak is known as The Great God Tree.

Well, at least today I learned there is new Karen Russell
Opened the new Karen Russell novel, The Antidote, and it sucked me right in, even now I am trapped in its jaws. Not sure what it is about yet but I don't know that I care.

Literally bought a horse because the orange one got elected, and since the weather has deigned to get above 15*F for the first time since Monday, I’m about to go test my theory about how I’m going to make it through this administration.

Submitted to @eventmags.bsky.social for the first time. Actually showed a modicum of personality in the cover letter. Now very self conscious, of course. Is this the way of all writers or just me?

Did not cream butter and sugar together. Butter was cold and chunky. Was sure this would be a failure. Best cookies I’ve ever made.

Finished #DESPERADA by Sofia Mostaghimi. Reminded me of MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION but add in grief, travel, sex addiction (v. hetero). Annoying but funny narrator. Some v. fresh images. I liked it. Will *never* recommend to my mother. Beautifully narrated! #books
