I only took this screenshot to see what he was reading—now I’m stuck with a shirtless therapist!
A shirtless Pedro Pascal, reclining on a lounge chair in a beachy-looking hut, looks up from reading Olga Tokarczuk’s DRIVE YOUR PLOW OVER THE BONES OF THE DEAD to smile slyly at the camera.

Top-tier late-December vibes in Anne Waldman’s “Seasonal Poem” (from the Dec. 13 issue of JSTOR Daily daily.jstor.org/merry-christ...)
*********** * * SEASONAL POEM * ********** Wake up little fingers! it's Christmas! you fumble with the keys it is so cold & you are frozen like the toes inside your boots numb& angry at the rest of you for being warmer than THEY are - Are you thinking? no thoughts but these you see and they are not thoughts anyway fingers don't think But, if you have some well, if you have some... well, if you do, WHAT OF IT? I'M BORED WITH THE NEW PRESIDENT THAT'S FOR SURE ! A sudden chill comes up behind me, brrrrrrrrrrrrrr It's the new President! Hello, you creep! CLOSE THAT WINDOW! you want THE FLU???????? when you ask a question like that you know the answer already it's irritating shut up GO AWAY (He does) Now that Christmas is here I have nothing new to say What a drag I'm sorry I wanted to... Wwwwell....• what I really wanted to do is DAZZLE you with my new poem ha! still reading? I'm still awake just had a hot cup of tea for a quick pick-up, try it!

Best think I saw today: this painting of a slice of lemon meringue pie by artist & author Elizabeth Schoonmaker. (That jaunty pompadour of meringue!)
A RICHLY TEXTURED PAINTING OF A SLICE OF LEMON MERINGUE PIE WITH A TOASTY BROWN CRUST, THICK LAYER OF YELLOW LEMON CURD, AND A TALL, SQUIGGLY PILE OF WHITE MERINGUE ON TOP
