My step-mother drew this and sent it to me. #AnnieDillard
A cartoon-like drawing of a grave, Tufts of grass, the horizon, and sunset. The grave says "RIP Annie Dillard who could hear the grass grow."

Ah, yes. I was thinking of the capturing of the traiters in RII. Julie Taymor's Titus is fantastic.

The Geek and the Ballerina I'm still a geek, tbh. Shout out to my sister.
B&W photo of a young boy in a suit and tie, kid sunglasses, unkept hair; next to him is a young girl on a telephone (probably rotary), long hair put up, and a ballet outfit.

Um holy shit?!? This middle school IN MY HOMETOWN had an AI-generated student planner made & printed for all kids It called Kentucky “Venecky” The map’s wrong. The periodic table’s wrong. Everything’s as wrong as you expect. Each student had to pay $10 for this. It’s also their hall pass

Tell ex if he doesn't come by this evening, his stuff is going to the basement. That way he has a choice in the matter, and can't get too pissed off because he was warned.

I agree, and yet it's hard to open up to someone you only know through social media, which is how too many of us know each other in this modern world. I'm an open book, but I'm probably only going to let someone in so far if I don't even know their real name.

I started and stopped writing a response to this because I want to show my support, but nothing I write feels right, so I'll say this: Let me (us) know how I (we) can support you and help you process, and process however you need to process. I see you. 😃 🙏🏻

I don't know which is worse: watching a ridiculously small eclipse or seeing no eclipse at all due to overcast skies.

These posts of yours about loving others they way you want to be loved, and that you are genuine in your feelings of love for others, and now, that love remains after all else fades -- these make me so happy to have "met" you! You're amazing! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.

Purple grapes are the best for us, but the least consumed. I love a good bunch of red grapes though.

The trauma I endured in my mother's womb is itself cray cray. Not to mention afterwards. Definitely brain changing.

Flannery O'Connor, Annie Dillard, Emily Dickinson, EH Wilde, Kelly Agoden are just a few of my favorite writers. Not to mention a bunch of female international poets. I'm pretty sure I read mostly women writers, so it seems like a lot of men are missing out on great literature.

On Sunday we had our first family meeting in years. My son called the meeting. He's now 24. We discussed and planned. Then went to see The Odyssey. As a family. A family of 4 adults. A beautiful full circle moment.
