when you survive a very rough bout of airplane turbulence this list looks especially good.

It’s time for the 2024 Christmas Calendar of Jazz, and we start with a classic from 1985: “What Child Is This” from Ray Charles’s The Spirit of Christmas – surely one of the all-time greatest seasonal records. Freddie Hubbard guesting on trumpet. open.spotify.com/track/5u7scF...

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: "I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two -- And see what worms are eating At the rind."

nice/ feel-good American poem summoning the ghost of a sharp-as-a-scalpel Shakespearean sonnet.

I've probably read this poem 100 times, but when the world seems particularly gone to hell, it still brings me to tears.
