"The brilliance of the people in Chicago and the people in Minneapolis: they run towards the whistles, which is a scary thing to do. After two people have been shot, they run towards them and they start recording, and they've made it impossible for the administration to lie about what's happening."

I have a pair of lavalier mics that are in a nice protective case. Protected wherever they are 😅. At least that.

Danez Smith, Kathleen Norris (The Cloister Walk and Dakota: A Spiritual Geography aren't poems but they are poetry), Andrea Gibson, Christian Wiman

Dusty's has a vibe, you can say that 😅

I appreciate their menu offering Impossible versions of most things. And the tiny dance floor, where even if you were the only one out there it'd still feel pretty full 💃🏼

I still tear up every time I read just this small piece. It brings back the emotional experience of the whole collection, all that inseparable pain and beauty ❤️‍🩹

Thanks for sharing such a deeply personal experience. I'm so glad you're still here ❤️‍🩹
