@printrunpodcast.bsky.social loved being challenged to think a bit more about cultivating literary culture. Great episode.

What y’all doing over here? Eating tacos and kissing in the mouth?

I had plans to do things today that did not come to pass. Welcome to the time of the year where you don’t even know what day it is.

Essay: Losing the Recipes There were crabs and there were Aunt Christine's dinner rolls.

“Summer cookouts, special occasions, and sadly funerals often led us from Philadelphia down i95 to the small town of Cambridge situated on the southern bank of the Choptank river. A place that always feels like coming home even though I’ve never lived there.” open.substack.com/pub/ashleymc...

Just trying to get through these next few weeks before the music industry shuts down for a bit. 😩

Mains goals today are to write a little, workout, and start this food.

Yeah, this one I’m working on has to be finished so … imma just scribble this other thought down so I don’t forget.

There’s nothing my brain loves more than coming up with a new book concept in the middle of trying to finish a manuscript draft.

Sometimes I still have to go to the mall. Like I know it’s an outdated practice, lol. But I like to look at things vs ordering and all the returning.

It was good. Eve is crazy but it was a fast and enjoyable read. And she’s a fellow Philadelphian so I had to support.

Introduce yourself with 4 albums.

I just had to buy it. Lol. Cause same sis.

Two things about LA. 1. You have to trust and believe that there will be an on ramp where it’s telling you to turn because why is it so dark? 2. Visiting friends in the hills is like an extreme sport because why are we doing this? This is a mountain friends.

This BigxThaPlug album has me in a chokehold. 😩

Joey Bada$$ was pleasant to hear on Syrup Sandwiches. And Cordae and Anderson might as well go ahead and bless us with an EP. Would have liked to hear Ye on the flip but 🤷🏽‍♀️

Current read.

It’s steal his hoodie/sweatshirt weather.

I just got here. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m Ashley, an author, wanna be cultural critic and music executive? (I hate saying that but it’s true.) Anyway, nice to have a fresh start. ashleymcoleman.com

Love is … 😩 all because someone was raggedy.

Let me finish listening to this Ab-Soul record.

Is it like riding a bike or …?
