going to trivia tonight i can’t wait to eat garlic parmesan french fries and get every other question wrong!

read some poetry today and decided my word of the day is “yearning” thank you bsky.app/profile/mich... for writing such a spectacular collection!

today was the first day of fall and i saw no signs of cinnamon spice or pumpkins or apple pie and there was no chill in the air. counting on the second day of fall to get its act together. extremely disappointing turn of events.

Order real books from your local bookstore OR ELSE IT WILL CLOSE AND YOUR TOWN / NEIGHBORHOOD WILL BE SAD AND BORING

every night I blow out the candle in my room like I’m a child in the middle ages getting ready for a deep slumber

i love people being people

For 22 years, a photographer captured the day-to-day lives of a Chinatown family.

been reading (and loving) ada limón’s collection, Bright Dead Things, lately and thinking about that one scene in The Notebook where Noah shouts “If you’re a bird, I’m a bird!” and although I’ve never been a fan of birds, I think it must be quite lovely to become a bird with/for someone.
