We've had this on cassette, vinyl, CD, and prob even 8-track. All lost to the spirit of overplaying borrowing lending moving. Today, my love came home with this. Shinny like a brand new Lincoln penny and as clear as if we were listening to it for the first time. Monumental. #TomWaits #music #albums

Once again, Elena Ferrante blows my mind. I giorni dell'abbandono (The Days of Abandonment). I wish upon a star that some day I may have a fraction of her sharp eye, her incisive mind, and her magic with words. #books #ElenaFerrante

Understanding Birdsong, beautiful CNF by @youbigtalker.bsky.social is nominated for a #BestoftheNet award! Great news for a great writer. I'm lucky enough to work with Eleni as part of the secretive #Atelier23 #writingworkshop so I get to see some of the behind the scenes creative magic.

Hit halfway point on WIP. I think, cause all I have is a scribbled map and I spilled coffee on it, then it caught fire, then it got crumpled and thrown in the trash, and after i dug it out, the dog ate part of it. But this chapter I finished feels like it's halfway there. #writingcommunity #wip

Dolly Parton on vacation in Ireland ..walks into a pub in County Kerry and is asked to sing a song. What a beautiful lady. The guy on the guitar is Steve Cooney. I do believe the year was 1990. For all you people out there the name Séamus is Irish for James. (Look up Séamus Begley Singer/Musician

Some connections are so strong they are immune to time. We became best friends half a century ago. During formative years, 4-8yo. Half a lifetime at the time, a lifetime ago. A family tragedy separated us and in pre-internet days, being children, we lost all contact. ⬇️ #friends #BFFs

Just saw my 2nd bobcat in the wild in NC. The first one crossed the road in front of my car months ago. This time I was walking my dog in our neighborhood (which is surrounded by woods) and my dog turned around suddenly. #bobcat #northcarolina

This book will be living in my head/heart for a long time. One of those rare occasions when an author does something with the novel format that seems impossible. Like Bolaño, like Atwood, like Garcia Marquez. We Do Not Part by Han Kang #books

An amazing trilogy by Roberto Minervini about the southern USA. I have a lot of questions about the process, but the documents are there. Often difficult to watch, but well worth it. Stop the Pounding Heart (2013) The Other Side (2015) What You Gonna Do When the World's on Fire? (2018) #film

One of my favorite things about fiction writing is getting to know the characters I am writing. In longer works, sometimes in short stories too, but always in longer works, I get to a point where the characters start revealing secretes about themselves. #writingcommunity #writing

I'd have given it 1 star if they'd had the sense to show, among all the secret gov footage, a clip of Richard Dreyfuss climbing on a spaceship or anyone's finger lighting up like ET. As it is, ugh. Hard to find anything redeeming in it. #movies My expression throughout ⬇️
