The WiFi is so bad at my mum’s that even her cat is buffering.

an orange and white cat appears alert and concerned, as if a door has opened and food is being provided for forest animals who deserve NOTHING

an orange and white cat appears alert and concerned, as if a door has opened and food is being provided for forest animals who deserve NOTHING

when we give any food to animals outside, Sandal seems to think it is indicative of deep, tragic, even dangerous naivete. he meows at me to tell me it is a bad idea.

i am neville chamberlain to this cat, foolishly proclaiming "peace in our time" with squirrels and birds who will surely destroy us

Don't Hesitate

by Mary Oliver

If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy,
don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty
of lives and whole towns destroyed or about
to be. We are not wise, and not very often
kind. And much can never be redeemed.
Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this
is its way of fighting back, that sometimes
something happens better than all the riches
or power in the world. It could be anything,
but very likely you notice it in the instant
when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the
case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid
of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.

Worst part of Thanksgiving is having to hang with that one uncle who killed your father and married your mother and then you have to put on a little play to make sure the ghost of your dad isn’t lying to you about the whole thing.

And candied yams.

I should also note for the many people who loved our wonderful Petra Mayer that the first Petra Mayer Memorial Fellow at NPR, Dhanika Pineda, worked on this year’s edition.

Clitoris

by Peggy Shumaker

Surely a man named it.

If a woman had chosen, we'd
have hawk tongue, pearl
of flame, olala berry, 
suck nubbin, jujube
tsunami.

Showed a movie in class today. Four out of five students were on their phones the whole time. In ten years of teaching, I have never seen tech addiction like this. We need more serious conversations about technology's effects on our children, especially where school is involved.

Anyone else spend part of Sunday morning refilling the pill organizer?
My life is so glamorous I can hardly stand it sometimes.
