The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton. Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷

I have bad #travel karma. Recently to P-town for a reading: high winds, rough chop on the ferry; drenched walking to my (seedy) hotel; too wet & exhausted to eat. This is the moment everything changed. Brunch, a secret patio. A fabulous meal. Only got better from here. (See comments.)
In #Provincetown for a reading of Loosestrife for Porcupines. Even in the rain, loved it. Friendly folk. Commercial Street reminded me of The Venice Boardwalk. Here are gardens on the way to The Provincetown Bookshop. #travel #CapeCod #gardens #NewEngland
Happy 65th Birthday, August 4th, to the best President in US History. The black man "they" feared, led with humor, dignity & grace for 8 yrs scandal-free, has a beautiful & accomplished family, and is beloved by millions around the world. @barackobama.bsky.social #BarackObama #ThePeoplesPresident
LAND, by Maggie O'Farrell. If I'd read the tough reviews 1st, I migtn't have picked it up. But I did and loved it, as much as dark chocolate ice cream on a hot day, wonderful writing, rich world, a relief from the horrid daily ugliness, the powerless of living in America just now. #fiction
