I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.
men’s loneliness gets “more airtime”?
baby I have lived the past three decades of my life witnessing corporate media elevate men’s loneliness into a full-blown balls-to-the-wall CRISIS once every 4-5 years
“more airtime” is hilarious

It’s incredibly frustrating that our representative acquired grant funding for west Alabama street and the city is deciding it’s not going to build any bike lanes but will use the grant money to repave the street anyway. I just don’t see how this won’t make the city look like a terrible partner

I don't want to bring back smoking, but I want to bring back ashtrays. They were so marvelous. My dad had this blue cut crystal looking glass one that reminded me of the Cookie Monster's fancy grandma.

Now that I joined the Central City Co-op again, I get things like pumpkins for cooking. Just ate one in an uninspired way tonight. This, however, is on the list. Mebbe minus the raisins. It seems a very pre-sugar is everywhere recipe. #whatscooking #food

Today I Olga Tokarczuk's Nobel speech with my adult students. It is more difficult than what I usually give, I thought there would be haters. But her words, hanging on the idea of the tender narrator & a new kind of 4th person story, knocked everybody's socks off. It's a good read for right now.

I opened two open writing mornings at my studio and can't believe how much more writing I'm doing, and how much happier I feel. We talk 5 minute an hour, and write the rest. Community matters, even if you are all mostly ignoring each other and immersed in other worlds. Houstonians should come join.
