I hadn’t read any of Baldwin’s poetry before but of course it makes perfect sense reading these that he should be a poet, too. I like how expansive these poems are, at times trumpeting, at times tender, often funny. bookshop.org/p/books/jimm... #BookThoughts 📚💙

Tonight’s turkey was good but came out a little drier than the first time I made a turkey, and I’m pretty sure the difference was that the first time I roasted it breast side down. It made for kind of an ugly roast because the rack left dents in the breast, but it was much juicier and more tender.

My youngest just said that "Led Zeppelin is the only band to musically capture the feeling of arrows thudding against your shield" and first of all, how does he know that feeling?

Yes. And if someone leaves you, it is okay to be hurt by it. It is okay to say mean things about them to your friends or therapist. It is okay to be angry. But it is not okay to hurt the one who left, or to try to coerce them.
Your feelings may be out of your control. Your actions are not.
Your feelings may be out of your control. Your actions are not.
It is okay for people to decide to leave. It is okay to decide you do not want to be with them and for you to leave. It is okay.
It is not okay to punish people who leave you, simply because you have unhealed abandonment wounds.
You can choose to be fair.
And you should.

My nextdoor neighbor has been playing loud Christmas music all morning, and normally I’d be predisposed to being annoyed about this, especially since my primary experience of him is every six months when he revs his boat engine in his driveway for 45 minutes. But you know what, it’s fine.
