"After reading this book, I’m energized by it. In a world of faux pluralism and filtered, glassy, false surfaces, it’s exciting to be a little ugly." @dirt.bsky.social on UGLINESS @moshsky.bsky.social @ninarenataaron.bsky.social

saturday (the hedva is so good!)

Listened to Sinead O’Connor’s memoir (in her voice) and learned so much — that she volunteered with vets, wanted to be a health aide, that Peter Gabriel treated her like “weekend pussy,” that the barber who shaved her head begged not to do it. Adore her forever & even more

good morning from hell

Reading All-Night Pharmacy by Ruth Madievsky, Dykette by Jenny Fran Davis, and Kafka’s Diaries (slowly). And writing with this lucky charm by my side

I loved The Cook by de Kerangal. Eastbound is on my list!

look at this american airlines drink menu tucked in my bf’s copy of hegel’s encyclopedia logic and weep for civilization

FC Gold Pride: the rise and fall of women’s soccer’s forgotten dream team The San Francisco Bay Area was once briefly home to a powerhouse including Marta, Christine Sinclair, Camille Abily and Kelley O’Hara. But nobody cared enough to keep the club afloat

the Women’s World Cup was “once a niche event that Fifa branded the M&M’s Cup so as to not tarnish the prestige of its main celebration” …

“To me, this book is perfect. I felt brave and held as a Jew reading it…and inspired to be more ambitious in my own work.” Moved to sentimental, Jewish tears over this wild endorsement from @jiordancastle.bsky.social https://www.heyalma.com/11-jewish-authors-on-the-jewish-books-that-shaped-them/

Still Life with Green Soup by Fernando Botera, a yellow tinged still life of a table top with bowls, bread, bananas, and a cat reaching for the soup. The cat has a weird compressed face.

This painting is called "Still Life with Green Soup" which I feel rather buries the lede

Just finished this. Very smart, sad, hot. Beautiful balance struck between agitation, loneliness, languor. Bravo K. Patrick
