Trying to remind myself that summer isn’t officially over until 21 sept isn’t helping me deal with this late summer heat.

So so great.

I just finished mother Mary comes to me and wow.

I just finished this today and wow. I’m speechless almost.

Ah, do I have — of course I have — beneath my raincoat; I have your photograph. And, the sun on your face, I’m freezing that frame.

This one made me lol

I often wonder what my outlook on life would be if I didn’t live in a society where people tried to exclude, deride and erase me and my LGBTQ folks out of existence. #fightback #lgbtq #trans

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.

Try as they might, we are here and we are not going anywhere. As Kim English told us: “Unspeakable joy; they did not give it, they cannot take it away.” (Try as they may.)

Lovely sunset with pinkish, orangish cirrusy cumulus clouds.

“She closed her eyes, dark-lidded, dark shadows beneath them; she really was older, not the glancing-eyed girl I had fallen in love with but no less beautiful for that; beautiful now in a way that less excited my senses, than tore at my very heart.”

Poor Bunny. This one definitely stuck with me. There’s a quote I’m trying to find from the end of that book that also stuck with me.

Love this. Have you read Day yet? It’s on my list.

I woke up today with a calm and powerful resolve to keep fighting. I read this and was further envigorated. #resist

The Last Showgirl was just what I needed today. #thastshowgirl

“…And that is just how it should be. That sense of loss is exactly what we must anticipate, prepare for and cherish to the last of our days. Because it is only our heartbreak that finally refutes all that is ephemeral in love.”

I’m reading A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles and it has me rapt in its beautiful prose. “Mishka would pine for Katarina the rest of his life. Never would he walk Nefsky Prospect—however they chose to rename it—without feeling an unbearable sense of loss.”

I loved this article.

Here’s to the marginal details.

That looks, as my grandma used to say, SCRUMPTIOUS.

The comments sections of NYT recipes are wild, y’all. WILD. #cilantro #coriander #cooking #nyt

I’ve always wanted to go to Bilbao! Been close a couple of times and just never have made
It.

The scene in the theatre with Rebekah del Rio’s “Llorando” remains emblazoned in my mind.

When I was in the East bay visiting family in late October we went hiking. I always love the smell of bay leaves when there.
