I always enjoy when Joseph Earl Thomas is on

Jean Thoresen, Sinister Wisdom, Winter/Spring '98 issue

First week of November. Good break from horror every day of October. Might do some Wuxia tonight.

I went to see Bugonia yesterday and it made me think of Adorno's astrology essay, Stars Down to Earth

Makes perfect sense to me. Somatic processing, like pacing while on the phone. Plus, hands are warm, you make progress that's tangible on each dish, you feel good about the time spent, etc. Self-soothing with chores.
