Bought so many teas and worked out and the sky was filled with my favorite kind of puffy clouds and the air was crisp and filled with drifting leaves! A breath of fresh air kind of day, much needed

A cup of Murchie’s London Afternoon may have single-handedly cured my cold. Absolutely heavenly tea and perfect for a fall day ☕️

I had no idea icebergs could be so clear and blue until one flipped in front of me to reveal this. Fun fact: the black stripes you see are layers of ash deposited from past eruptions in the region.

I’m only a little over 100 pages into Neil Price’s Children of Ash & Elm, but it’s already a standout for historical surveys. It reads more like a cultural history of Vikings, an approach that makes it faaar more engrossing than a recitation of historical events would be

Pre-order Anthony’s book! I’ve been obsessed since he wrote this article a few years ago, the touchstone for his upcoming novel. He’s brilliant and wonderful and his prose is delicious 💙📚

I could fully believe César Aira came up with the Goncharov phenomenon on the basis of his *Conversations* alone. Because the former certainly proves the themes of the latter 💙📚

Cold has descended into the chest BUT I made some delicious Chile Colorado anyway (courtesy of Pati Jinich). Nothing like a hot meal to help the body feel better

Watching Sixth Sense and didn’t catch before that the three people hanging in the hallway of Cole’s school are an interracial couple. A momentary visual that demonstrates how this kid is haunted by American history as much as individual ghosts (it is set in Philadelphia after all)

I only discovered Louise Glück’s poetry a couple years ago, but she single-handedly revolutionized my understanding of the genre. I feel so sad to hear of her passing but also so blessed to have encountered her work and shared time on this earth with her.

It’s truly annoying how my brain descends into anxiety-induced dreadpanic as soon as the sun begins to set and then I do one (1) gym workout and suddenly the world is a good and vibrant place and I feel alive and I can breathe
