Tumblr post from every-lemon 
Sep 8

so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff.
they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed.
I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."

it was a smash hit.
a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud.
he was home by 6:30am.

Ok yeah the apple but now add a bit of roasted green chili. Not too spicy, must be roasted before, ideally from New Mexico.

As an educator of aspiring artists I feel this, particularly when they struggle to find work after graduation. Have zero regrets for myself, but ruminate about this regularly.

We don't hear much about the Texas 1836 project these days. Maybe because the 1836 Texas Constitution went to great lengths to write down how Texas is an explicitly white supremacist project, with slavery at the very heart of its founding.

Thanks. I know Xitter can seem like a requirement for journalists in Texas, but it’d be nice to avoid a self fulfilling prophecy.

I love Texas. We have the best food, the best music, the best culture, and an amazing diversity of people there. We have a shitty government, but it's, like, a third of the state that votes for it. You don't know Texas. I fucking love Texas. Stop shitting on Texas if you haven't lived there.

I think this singer is earnest, but I’m really not sure. Equal parts the worst I’ve ever heard, the strangest, and maybe kinda brilliant? Gives almost early Borat vibes.

This type of masculinity on parade is absolutely intended only for other men. Back in the 90s I read β€˜Male Fantasies’ and the last couple years I’ve been telling myself it’s time to read it again.

If you campaign on fixing the roads, once elected you might want to avoid claiming roads don’t actually exist.
