I haven’t been posting about soup but that doesn’t mean i haven’t been making it. (This post both 100% is and 100% is not about soup.)

I only took this screenshot to see what he was reading—now I’m stuck with a shirtless therapist!
A shirtless Pedro Pascal, reclining on a lounge chair in a beachy-looking hut, looks up from reading Olga Tokarczuk’s DRIVE YOUR PLOW OVER THE BONES OF THE DEAD to smile slyly at the camera.

Top-tier late-December vibes in Anne Waldman’s “Seasonal Poem” (from the Dec. 13 issue of JSTOR Daily daily.jstor.org/merry-christ...)

SEASONAL POEM

**********

Wake up little fingers!
it's Christmas!
you fumble with the keys
it is so cold & you are frozen
like the toes inside your boots
numb& angry at the rest of you for being warmer
than THEY are -
Are you thinking?
no thoughts but these you see and they are not thoughts anyway
fingers don't think
But, if you have some
well, if you have some...
well, if you do, WHAT OF IT?
I'M BORED WITH THE NEW PRESIDENT THAT'S FOR SURE !
A sudden chill comes up behind me, brrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It's the new President!
Hello, you creep!
CLOSE THAT WINDOW!
you want THE FLU????????
when you ask a question like that you know the answer already it's irritating shut up
GO AWAY
(He does) 
Now that Christmas is here I have nothing new to say
What a drag
I'm sorry
I wanted to...
Wwwwell....•
what I really wanted to do is DAZZLE you with my new poem
ha!
still reading?
I'm still awake just had a hot cup of tea
for a quick pick-up, try it!
Everything's pretty much the same in this city otherwise
Strikes
Hassles
No Heat
Angry Citizens
I have no special feeling about anything EXCEPT I DON'T VANT TO GET SICK 
have my nose drip 
sore throat 
chest pains 
bad mood 
freak out 
stay in bed 
read news 
play radio
get me some soup 
ice cream 
too cold 
head aches 
take pills 
sleep a lot 
talk on the phone 
think things over
recover
& get a grip on life by New Year's

This is an incredible piece of journalism, and another reminder that healthcare should not be for profit (and neither should news).

TV on the Radio’s incredible Tiny Desk Concert prompted me to revisit some other faves. This one always leaves me covered in goosebumps: youtu.be/z1Lh06y6Z1Q?...

Best think I saw today: this painting of a slice of lemon meringue pie by artist & author Elizabeth Schoonmaker. (That jaunty pompadour of meringue!)
A RICHLY TEXTURED PAINTING OF A SLICE OF LEMON MERINGUE PIE WITH A TOASTY BROWN CRUST, THICK LAYER OF YELLOW LEMON CURD, AND A TALL, SQUIGGLY PILE OF WHITE MERINGUE ON TOP

Best thing I read today: Heather McHugh’s “Sound as Fundy, Fundy as Sound,” a limited edition broadside poem designed & hand printed by Andrew Steeves of Gaspereau Press in Kentville, Nova Scotia for the Tides Institute in Eastport, Maine. www.tidesinstitute.org/collections-...

Tonight’s “soup” was pinto bean chili (no recipe, just vibes / corn chips on the side).

Best thing I’ve seen today: video from artist Pilvi Takala’s THE TRAINEE, a monthlong art intervention in which “an initially normal-seeming marketing trainee starts to apply peculiar working methods.” pilvitakala.com/the-trainee/

My dog turned 12 yesterday. She celebrated by eating some deer poop. I’ve been trying to make a “party pooper” joke ever since but can’t quite stick the landing.

I really do make a lot of soup. Tonight’s was French green lentils, carrots, potatoes, Redbor kale, & thyme with a cheddar-herb biscuit on the side.
