hanging out with a fifth grader for two hours (childcare fell through so he’s stuck with me!) he doesn’t have a book or anything else to occupy him, so I took pity and asked him what his favorite dessert is now we’re co-authoring poetry inspired by tetanus shots

it’s funny bc if you just crop noem’s confusingly verbose quote (a lesson here in sentence construction) she says something true!

I read THE BEST little graphic novel today at work (very few kids showed up to after school library) called DOGS OF WAR and its three beautiful stories inspired by real dogs in real wars — WWI, WWII, Vietnam. Themes of compassion, connection, companionship. Not shy on suffering. I cried a lot!

From Henry’s stranded with her siren: the heroines life changes, her two hopes come true: 1. A publisher wants her poems, 2. She finds her ancient husband, product of an arrange marriage, dead in his armchair! Best night ever, basically, for her

it’s a good thing Celia is small-medium because if she were bigger she would be vaulting her way into the playground — she LOVES kids :,)

FIRST of all... i was looking for reviews of the new film, satyricA.... second of all, lol someone didn't do the reading and it shows
rotten tomatoes review of the satyricon "Overall, Fellini Satyricon is a disappointingly aimless film that had potential but becomes lost in a lot of filler and story points that come out of nowhere."

I’ve missed my little leather notebooks, my simple cypher, my own sweet voice. It’s time I returned to myself.

I love having a personal brand. I walked into my tiny local stamp shop today to finally pick up my custom order (see below) and was met with a grin and “did you read the Mendelsohn piece in the New Yorker, on Catullus? I saw it and immediately thought of you!”

there’s a rather good Italian restaurant nearby called LUPA with excellent graphic design — the U is a teat! — and Ovid on the menu (although I wish they’d put the Latin on) HBD Rome :)

puppy daycare trainers said (paraphrase): “Celia is what the Soviet Union needed, but never got, in a leader—you must do all you can to educate her towards benevolent tyranny.” 😈😈😈😈😎

Anyway can we all enjoy the fact that, in an old textbook, I seem to have marked a page of Catullus with a page of Catullus? lol
