“I took a steam bath with Freud and my towel slipped. He glimpsed my rather generous John Thomas and shouted ‘Eureka! Penis envy!’ Or as I call it, ‘the wanting of the wang’”

I would read a plotless book about nautical shit and tennis I am WRITING a not-quite-plotless book about nautical shit and cooking

A hybrid remix novel of Moby Dick and Infinite Jest, but just the parts about tying knots and playing tennis. It is 900 pages long.

Dem weirdos dreaming up tournament-style solutions to Joe Biden being the nominee and Catturd-grade reactionary types crying about cheating in the French election have one crucial thing in common, which is that they transparently lack the emotional maturity and patience required to be sports fans.

So much to process here but the courage in telling this story is off the charts.

My stepfather sexually abused me when I was a child. My mother, Alice Munro, chose to stay with himwww.thestar.com In the shadow of my mother, a literary icon, my family and I have hidden a secret for decades. It’s time to tell my story.

seeing a huge uptick in places asking to "round up and donate to charity" remember that the grocery store, or the movie theater, or wherever has already made their donation they want you to subsidize their donation

There’s parking at Pratt beach (post may expire)

For the morning crowd

Wish this place had polls so I could ask this would you rather: - be Janelle Monae in the GLASS ONION scene where hot sauce rolls up her eye - be Mia Goth in the X scene where the old lady crawls into bed

Posts expressing this idea got me thinking about one of my favorite James Baldwin passages from The Fire Next Time www.newyorker.com/magazine/196...

…the dramatic sweep or bang of a March on Rome, it’s gonna feel a lot more “normal” than that and therefore easier to dismiss by many elite pundits 2) ask an older Black voter if it’s hard to believe that America may no longer be a democracy at some point in its modern history.

Life’s tough for a whole lot of people & I try to temper my optimism for the future with the realities many of us face. Yet I still want to say that forming community that uplifts no matter how small does move the needle forward. Joy IS an act of rebellion and is fuel that helps us face adversity.
