When I got a lymphatic massage, the lady told me that according to Chinese medicine, we house grief in the lungs.
Now, full of mourning with a light cough, I keep hearing someone sing “Grief is in the lungs” to the tune of “Groove is in the heart” and it’s fun but also why is my brain like this.

Been seeing a lot of this genre of critique and I would like to point out that we’re still assuming his approval matters but maybe this is actually an indication that our say in any of this doesn’t actually matter anymore (and honestly maybe never did)

The greatest gift a graduate degree gave me is that sitting in front of a blank page, I can ALWAYS start writing, even if it’s absolute garbage, because I know that this is not even close to the last time I’m gonna look at it. What a freedom to know you’ve got Future You as an editor.

This gave me great joy, like seeing DJ Pauly D live in person, when my friend remarked that he just seemed so happy to be there. May we all love it every time.

Have never felt so old as when I read this quote and realized that rigor is exactly what I’ve been mourning the loss of, without having a word for it.
"Colleges illustrate the seepage of rigor from American life."

My martini recipe:
2oz Kyro Gin
.75 oz Grassotti Dry Vermouth
Stir with ice while you chill a glass.
Get distracted by other tasks until you forget you were making a martini.
Remember & pour the martini, panicked the glass will overflow. Garnish with four castelvetrano olives.
Enjoy.

Would be great to have a fun, great night and not to come home to see that some fucking country had bombed some other fucking country in an escalation of aggression that has simmered my entire fucking life. Why are we *starting* wars? Is there not already enough fucking bullshit happening??
