Why Wendell Berry Didn’t Worry About the Future

His life as a writer and farmer was informed by a simple, clarifying idea: Forget tomorrow, and work toward what is good today.

Listening to Fredrick Douglass’s thoughts on the 4th again this evening. Who’s picking up that torch this year?

The difference between the Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics is that if I competed at the Summer Olympics I would humiliate myself while if I competed at the Winter Olympics I would die.

Back in the day the triple-whatevers were impossible, now the oohs and ahhs are all for quads. Let’s just agree to skip the quints and go straight to hex-lords and septons.

After 5 days without power, I’m pretty sure my house will reach equilibrium with the freezing outdoor temperatures today. No communication from NES or Nashville about whether our lines will get attention in an hour or a week.

It’s irresponsible not to provide any ETA on electricity repairs. If you’re at the end of a 3–4 day repair schedule, you deserve to know that things probably won’t improve on day 1 or 2.

Friends, I’m glad my non-dairy friends can get mediocre eggnog beverages on demand. But I miss good, non-high-fructose, real dairy eggnog options. Time to make my own. Recipes appreciated.

I don’t know what to make of the fact that Spotify seems to really get me, especially when I ask for seasonal instrumental music.

It’s hard to describe the weight of always having to fight to get your kid a fair shake in school. It’s even harder knowing that there are *so many* kids who must be written off because they don’t have the scariest possible dad. We’re failing in some important ways.

The pop ballads of the 1980s will eventually stand beside Shakespearean sonnets as high-water marks in English-language articulations of romantic love.

A question, friends: the exposed bass clarinet line in Steven’s Last Night in Town—is it the best use of the instrument ever or just the best use in a pop song?

This. A hallucinated case is much easier to detect than a misinterpreted case that made it into the memo you found in the system from 2018. Here’s the tell: when you pull the case to cite check it, it doesn’t exist.

If you’re a newish parent, you have well-meaning old folks constantly telling you to treasure the early years. I’m here to tell you that some things get better with age. I always loved my kids, but every year they’re more interesting than they were the year before.

Nicole’s work has been a great public service and a good example of informative writing that benefits from a clear, fully human voice. I’ll miss reading the council meetings through her coverage, and I look forward to learning new things from her in the future. Thanks, @startleseasily.bsky.social!

The stakes are too high for me to want you to fail electorally in a general election, but if you’re still pushing “send” on these, please know that I want you to get a bad parking spot and bump your toes and elbows on all available surfaces. Please just stop.

I wonder if Tennessee is the only place where both parties are so toxic that a squishy moderate party could win. Dollars to donuts (a full dozen), I think a party committed to Dolly Parton’s song lyrics would out perform the democrats in the Tennessee midterms AND pick up a GOP house seat or three.

Weird request: Does anyone know where I could get a ye-olde-style powdered wig that I could safely burn? I want to make a writing statement (about distracting formalism in legal writing), not a fashion statement.

Guns are the leading killer of children and teens in America. If we truly care about protecting America’s children, we must enact evidence-backed, common-sense gun safety measures that are proven to save lives. #JointAddress #SOTU #StateOfTheUnion
