Day 14. Some will only talk about Brokeback Mountain (a miracle of a story) but every story in here is gothic, surreal, otherworldly, sometimes campy. I’ve read this book a million times. Listening to it on audio while driving through Wyoming while in love, top experience

Day 13. Not a day goes by where I don’t think about Heather Lewis. I wish she were still alive and still writing books. Her characters suffer so tremendously but they’re still alive, full of agency, sensuality, wanting. Fewer ppl have had greater impact on me, though I never met HL

Day 10. I don’t care if it was fake, this book rocked my world. When I recently read an excerpt aloud Hannah was like “oh…. that is still your syntax”

There’s a lot of important journalism in the Atlantic article; some content that made me cry, some that enrages. But I’m glad they outline the below for ppl who don’t know or refuse to know; “Supporting local” on a Hawaiian vacation is not helping us Kanaka (Hawaiians). It is feeding billionaires

Day 3. Animorphs series by K.A. Applegate. Peak drama and delight growing up. + All my books are lowkey in response to Applegate’s theories of ongoing inner-wars after the literal war ends

this morning, warm from bed, I got to watch one donkey bite the halter of the other donkey, latch on for dear life, while my freezing wife wrestled to dislodge them. 10/10

Fine I’m gonna play the “20 books” thing. My constraint is they’re not necessarily my ‘favorite’ 20, but 20 books that changed my life in a profound way

Made this shrimp last night using Middle Brook Mill’s polenta. You can order their grains online (this bag of polenta was $4!!!) to support a local farm and have a real nourishing treat. Not sponsored just very impressed
