FINISHING TOUCHES by thomas tessler — the squeamish should be thankful that CRIMES OF PASSION-era ken russell never got a galley of this immensely fucked-up horror novel. a descent into the blackest kind of affluenza anhedonia, utterly captivating.

gertrude stein, cow enthusiast.
gertrude stein hugging a small dogan excerpt from ‘daily rituals’ - “Miss Stein has an outsize bathtub that was especially made for her. A staircase had to be taken out to install it. After her bath she puts on a huge wool bathrobe and writes for a while, but she prefers to write outdoors, after she gets dressed. Especially in the Ain country, because there are rocks and cows there. Miss Stein likes to look at rocks and cows in the intervals of her writing. The two ladies drive around in their Ford till they come to a good spot. Then Miss Stein gets out and sits on a campstool with pencil and pad, and Miss Toklas fearlessly switches a cow into her line of vi-sion. If the cow doesn't seem to fit in with Miss Stein's mood, the ladies get into the car and drive on to another cow. When the great lady has an inspiration, she writes quickly, for about fifteen minutes. But often she just sits there, looking at cows and not turning a wheel.”

blame the state/federal divide. it’s harder to attribute what’s your local government at work versus what’s controlled by the feds (air quality regulation in california vs arkansas, etc.). once it becomes clear an issue is a problem everywhere, it’s easier to focus anger.
