Here I am, 41 years old and living at home, listening from my childhood bedroom to my 73-year-old mom and her friend in the living room discuss the mechanics and diction (sic!) of romantasy sex scenes, and I'm happy for them but really wish I weren't here right now.

Climate change is driving up peak summer temperatures across the country. Las Vegas broke temperature records last summer. Now, the region is fighting the heat with a simple solution: more trees. via @knpr.org

relistening to Steve Jobs' Stanford '05 commencement speech, consistently ranked as one of the all-time greatest and one I was miraculously present for the first time, and his nasal tenor floats back to me over the score of years gone more than his exact words, although those ring for me too.

sometimes while dissertating I look up a book in the university multi-search just for bibliographic details and see it's already checked out and not due back for months and feel a stab of deprivation—"book hog!"—until I realize I'm the borrower 📚🐽 and have already had it for months

For the record, this should embolden you to want to vote in every single election not just every two years or every four years. The way we change the party to what we want is by voting the people we want in.

Awwww! Thanks, Gen! I hope it has something to say to our current moment. I think the embrace of capitalist nihilism traced in the book is a global phenomenon that makes us pretty vulnerable to the vindictive nihilism coming at us from all angles these days.

Saw an older woman on the street. maybe early 70s, wearing a wide black silk tie, houndstooth trousers and shiny silver stiletto boots.
I said "Madame you look amazing"
She said "I like to think I'm a little in the space of David Bowie"
