"Such a minute fraction of this life do we live: so much is sleep, tooth-brushing, waiting for mail, for metamorphosis, for those sudden moments of incandescence: unexpected, but once one knows them, one can live life in the light of their past and the hope of their future." - Sylvia Plath

"To drill one hole after another into it [language] until that which lurks behind, be it something or nothing, starts seeping through — I cannot imagine a higher goal for today’s writer." - Samuel Beckett

"Me asombra la poca cuenta que me daba de que cada presente, una vez pasado, me dejaba un bagaje para el futuro. En el después ya no importaba nada la diferenciación entre pasado y presente." - Herta Müller

“…todo relato surge de suspender una exclamación de horror o de maravilla, y ahí, en el claro momentáneamente abierto por la ausencia del grito o del llanto, deslizar unas palabras antes de que se extinga la expectación general.” - Fabio Morábito, Un idioma materno

Called my parents in Lithuania about the dates of a potential visit. Dad texts me saying they are in class. A few hours later we confirm the trip and I ask him what class it was. “One where they tell you how to prepare your backpack for emergency.” Yes, emergency=war, in case of doubts. They are 70.

The intensity, the brilliance. “I wonder why I don’t go to bed and go to sleep. But then it would be tomorrow, so I decide that no matter how tired, no matter how incoherent I am, I can skip one hour more of sleep and live.” - Sylvia Plath, 1951 (she was 18)

A friend working in a national park in Lithuania shared this note with me, written in a guest book by visitors from Spain… “Visitors from Baeza, Jaen, in the Baltic countries, wish you a prompt integration into the USSR.” A tastless joke or…?

“The word 'freedom' gives rise to an important enticement, perhaps the most important enticement that can be expressed. We always wish to get away, and when there is no name for where we want to get to, when we do not know and there is no border in between, then we call it 'freedom'.” Elias Canetti

In case you had doubts about ChatGPT getting dumber.. got this comment today on a text that mentioned Saturday, July 26th. “Just one small detail: "Saturday 26/07" should be "Saturday 26/07" only if July 26 actually falls on a Saturday. But in 2025, July 26 is a Saturday, so you're good!”

“I feel a troubling kind of opacity in my brain lately—as if reality were becoming illegible, as if language were a vessel with holes in the bottom and meaning was leaking all over the floor.” Jia Tolentino writes about how the internet broke her brain.

My Brain Finally Broke

Much of what we see now is fake, and the reality we face is full of horrors. More and more of the world is slipping beyond my comprehension.

#poemoftheday #poemadeldia INVOCACIÓN Raquel Lanseros Que no crezca jamás en mis entrañas esa calma aparente llamada escepticismo. Huya yo del resabio, del cinismo, de la imparcialidad de hombros encogidos. Crea yo siempre en la vida crea yo siempre en las mil infinitas posibilidades.

Con lo que está pasando en el mundo, no es fácil dar con una lectura que nos recuerde que el humor (y el amor) puede sobrevivir a los años y tiempos difíciles. No es simplemente un intercambio de cartas entre Szymborska y Filipowicz: se cuelan también alter egos, personajes inventados.. y mucha luz.

#poemoftheday EVEN NOW Tomasz Różycky (tr. Mira Rosenthal) Winter doesn't want to end in some familiar place. The meadow past the river creaks, in the tunnel there's ice, even beyond the warehouse where time collects dust winter is still holding out, most fiercely inside of us.
