May as well dive right in. Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball? According to a Sumerian proverb, “The dog understands ‘Take it!’ It does not understand ‘Put it down!’” Source: cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/artifacts/34...

I had no idea that the phrase “Back to the old drawing board” comes from this Peter Arno cartoon from March 1st 1941’s New Yorker. It’s rather splendid to be able to date the birth of what would become part of everyday speech with such precision.

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

This is monstrous, evil shit "Cemetery officials confirmed to Task & Purpose that the pages were unpublished” to meet recent orders by President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth targeting race and gender-related language and policies in the military."

This so rarely happens, but the New Yorker recently had a poem I like a lot. Morgan Parker; “Meanwhile It Rains for Two Weeks and the Heat Never Breaks”
Sometimes I text my friends I'm crying and they reply lol.
It's not their fault. My lack of tact and legibility is divined.
On Wednesday I resolve to be friendlier with myself, more encouraging.
Thursday I call myself a stupid cunt before breakfast.
It's almost funny how much
I'm actually crying. It's kind of funny
how I know exactly what Gordon Ramsay is like when his kids don't clean their rooms, but I don't know my neighbor's last name. I don't know any attorney generals offhand.
I almost never know my login on the first try.
I don't know if I'm taking the right medicine for the right disorder. I don't know if I'm being who I really am from day to day if the priority should be me or all of us and what if any distinction there is and why.
I'm either asking or answering the wrong question here.
I like how the dog knows when I'm about to cry.
I like how the record player never asks me to log in.
Sitting at the typewriter there is no notification.
No one is laughing at me but myself.
It gets old, but I get used to it.I get older and more used to it.
I am hanging in there, I keep saying, clearly meaning something different
than what we all have decided those words mean or more precisely what they demand.
Society and community and that stuff.
Whatever instructs me to say "Don't worry about me."
It's nobody's fault,
but today the last line of my horoscope was
"there is no such thing as a soul," so maybe horoscopes have gotten out of hand.
I wonder if I could heal my own energy eventually, for free.
I just need to be reminded which moon makes me bleed and which moon
makes me want to. Let me preface this and
everything after: I'm not joking.
There is no such thing as my soul.
Remember when Heidegger said, "All distances in time and space are shrinking"?
I know, right. I could be drowning, and all my friends would be laughing
at my impression of me drowning, like oh yeah You would totally drown that way like with your face just like that

From
“The God Who Loves You” by Carl Denis:
“It must be troubling for the god who loves you   
To ponder how much happier you’d be today   
Had you been able to glimpse your many futures.
It must be painful for him to watch you on Friday evenings   
Driving home from the office, content with your week—
Three fine houses sold to deserving families—
Knowing as he does exactly what would have happened   
Had you gone to your second choice for college,   
Knowing the roommate you’d have been allotted   
Whose ardent opinions on painting and music   
Would have kindled in you a lifelong passion.   
A life thirty points above the life you’re living   
On any scale of satisfaction. And every point   
A thorn in the side of the god who loves you.”
