East of Eden on Netflix is GORGEOUS and Florence Pugh is magnificent, chilling, believable evil. Hard not to binge watch, it’s wildly alluring.

I don’t know if you’ve ever caught the fragrance of someone standing near you in an airport and thought that is the best thing I’ve ever smelled and it makes you imagine a tent in an ancient market selling scented oils, and dewy, thorny gardens, and smoldering ash in a library fireplace but you

Oh, Annie Dillard, don’t go. This book was so important to my understanding of the world, life, and writing. Thank you for the unforgettable image of your neighbor skating down frozen streets in the night, and all your beautiful words.

Rest in peaches, Wendell Berry. And because I am not as well adjusted as he: God dammit, cosmos, take the destroyers and leave us the artists.

A Meeting

In a Dream I meet
my dead friend. He has,
I know, gone long and far,
and yet he is the same
for the dead are changeless.
They grow no older.
It is I who have changed,
grown strange to what I was.
Yet I, the changed one,
ask: "How you been?"
He grins and looks at me.
"I been eating peaches
off some mighty fine trees."

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

I joined Amanpour & Company to talk about why "working homeless"—a term that should be a scandal—has become an ordinary fact of American life. 40% of officially-counted homeless people have jobs. And that's before we get to the millions who are rendered invisible, who are never counted at all.

Also highly recommend attending meditation sessions in person, playing ultimate frisbee, mountain biking, or hiking, talking to your neighbors, and going outside to look at the full moon. It’s still pretty gorgeous tonight.

I do not like reading digital versions of magazines and newspapers. I like reading physical copies of them that I hold in my hands. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
