Apparently I'm growing papaya and musk melon by accident (seeds left in the compost last year).
A very important fundraiser for a very important book! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bir...
Ah the fart of July
Trendy summer footwear
Damn Tom is such a proud papa this season.
Left town for three rainy days and my babies had a growth spurt!
Just wept through that Top Chef semifinal. Ant fucking togarashi on cabbage. Tom going "I love my job."
Hahaha, I love that!
Something I am realizing is that when people say "I just need an hour of your time," what they mean is "3 to 4 hours" and because I work at the snailiest of paces, that's anywhere from 6 to 12 hours of labor from me.

I'm so so sorry, Anselm!
Desperately need an ad blocker extension but for AI. An AI blocker extension. Does this already exist?

I have translated a book of poems from French! It is appearing from Roof Books in September! The poet is the wonderful Baptiste Gaillard (baptistegaillard.com)!
Also blooming: wild geranium and wild hyacinth
Came home (five days later) to columbines in full bloom!

Everything sucks about my university except we have a great reading series. Personal heroes Julie Carr & Gillian Conoley will read tonight at 5.30 pm.
Never call me a creative.
I would like to punch someone very hard for claiming my punctuation is inconsistent when I made an actual document with a list of rules to follow and then read the text aloud three times to check against the rules.
Trying to send "energy" to the poet I translate from French ... does not seem to work en français ...
OK, this piece hit them HARD--in a good way. Hard-recommend this essay for writing students who are struggling for any number of reasons. Also for being a writer in a neoliberal institution where everything is "what's the deliverable?" There are no fucking deliverables!
