This tattoo, by InkedMongoose on IG, is perfect. No notes.

A tattooed knee, I think, featuring Richard Scarry's Lowly Worm in an apple car. Text reads: You got a fast car. I got a plan to get us out of here.

Took half an edible and accidentally hyperfixated on Shrike by Hozier. Help.

This, from South African poet Genna Gardini's "Considering the bathroom scale, which might be fucked", blew the top off my head. The whole thing is in the new Amsterdam Review.

Listen, we are all soft brains straining to translate whole worlds. Who amongst us couldn't, suddenly, just break?

The dog wanted a salt and vinegar crisp so I gave her one. She licked it, looked at me like I'd kicked her in the ribs, and has gone to hide in another room.

This meme has been making me cry-laugh on and off throughout the day. Thanks @thejessness.bsky.social

Meme of a woman, tagged as "other languages", screaming "Why can't you just be normal?" A kid in the back seat, tagged "Hebrew" is yelling "Scrms", with the vowels beneath the word, because Hebrew vowels are absurd.

I take this approach with myself too. Ice cream is a good dinner.

This is what happened when she wanted to try pickled ginger a few years ago.

A stripey brindle dog, eyes closed in horror, her tongue sticking out, trying to understand what she's just tasted.

Mine is 4,000 years old so I let her try whatever she wants unless it's toxic for dogs. Sometimes that doesn't work out so well for her...

Matched perhaps by Doris Lessing’s response to winning the Nobel for literature: a tired look, ‘Oh Christ’ and a dismissive hand wave. youtu.be/vuBODHFBZ8k?...

Do you even live in South Africa if you've never yelled "shut up" at a hadeda?

One's an author, one apparently just won the Nobel Peace Prize 😂

I was so confused because "peaceful" is among the last words I'd use to describe her prose.

Read a headline about the Nobel Peace Prize winner too quickly and wondered how Carmen Maria Machado managed it.

October folklore includes traditions surrounding the thinning of the veil between the worlds during Halloween and the Celtic festival of Samhain, the importance of the Hunter's Moon, and the symbolism of harvest. Hares are associated with the moon and liminality.

Found this pic of me and my honey back in 2022, a little tipsy at a rooftop bar in Nashville after a show at The Ryman. Amazing where striking up a conversation with a stranger on the internet during the early-ish days of a global pandemic can take you.

Two dorks smooching in front of a lit-up sign that says Nashville.
