Getting to tell loved ones about the ‘94 album “Kermit Unpigged” this week has been a gift. I didn’t realize my siblings and I had listened to it so much that I still know almost every word. Honestly the perfect intro to Ozzy Osbourne, Jimmy Buffett, and other musicians as a kid.

I have friends who, if you Venmo them for things like gas, will send you back more money than you sent. Really delighted to escalate by having their local bookstore mail them a gift certificate 😇

With poetry month and @tacobellquarterly.org opening for subs soon, it feels like the right time to share my TBQ rejection that found its way into the world. Enjoy this piece on love, illness, and discovering wonder in the world around you:

And Suddenly It’s Evening
by Salvatore Quasimodo, tr. Jack Bevan

Everyone is alone on the heart of the earth
pierced by a ray of sun: 
and suddenly it’s evening.

Brennan Lee Mulligan on Puppet History is the intersection I never dared to dream of, and I’m so happy.
