Amazingly in its first day Songs for the Unadapted Ones is #32 in Rising in Literature in @substack - kind of in shock over here. I guess there is an audience for embracing neurodiversity to counter late capitalism as literature. Who knew?

Current Status. Indexing penultimate chapter of shaggy draft of hybrid/researched memoir...many colors in the weave. I can weave in many many strands to create a whole. But realized I needed a map this time, a colorful one. This is a many headed hydra/rhizome living at the edge of water and land...

In the midst of all the chaos of fireworks and loud music last night, I ended up taking a module on shape of memoir and solved for that. Anyone who knows me will already know what shape it is, but I Saw it hiding in plain sight. Incredible gift of autistic hyperfocus even during sensory trauma.

A glorious day. Topped off by coming back from beach walk to a knock on door from my host offering me homemade scones still warm from the oven.

He did it! He broke the record! Thank you @booker.senate.gov this is the most inspired action I have seen in so long. We needed this. He's still talking! (No sitting down over 24 hrs or anything else... amazing)

Rumi's excellent FOMO advice:

Don't sit waiting by every boiling pot
to have your plate filled!
Not every boiling pot
is cooking what you want.

This is why I live in NYC. This is our Mt Rushmore and also the sunsets are nice too. There is life here that even the Current Horror can't kill. Such a breath.of fresh air to get outside go downtown and walk around. Find art and life bursting everywhere.
