I make dinner & swear too much. I think that's all you need to know. 'Chocolate Cake for Imaginary Lives' published by Deixis Press is available now She/her

Sad to see about Annie Dillard, a good writer. She used to live part-time on the island where I grew up. Oldtimers said she would often chop her firewood nude. They considered this unwise: there are splinters, and what if the axe hits a nail?

When I was in Berlin I went to this fantastic cook/cake decorating shop. (imagine a giant wall of cookie cutters.) I bought this hedgehog shaped cookie cutter and then it hit me.. the shape is also loosely Jimothy shaped. We may have to make some Jimothy cookies this autumn.

Reading the titles of some 19th century pornography. It is nice to know some things have not really changed. The Power of Mesmerism: A Highly Erotic Narrative, Captain Stroke-All’s Pocket Book! and of course, Experimental Lecture by Colonel Spanker

Macklemore just announced he’s donating the $1 million he made from Sheeran’s tour to 6 organizations to support Palestinians and he’s asking Robert Kraft to match it. This is just the first part announcing it.

With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom.
I will be donating the entire $1 million of my net earnings from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people. And I invite Robert Kraft to match my donation. Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth.
