i’ll read that

YOU WAKE UP COLD IN YOUR $3000/MONTH BACHELOR APARTMENT. IT'S LIGHTLY RAINING SO YOUR POWER IS OUT. YOU'RE SICK BUT WILL NEVER HAVE A FAMILY DOCTOR. YOU SKIP BREAKFAST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T AFFORD GROCERIES. YOU PUT HIKING BOOTS ON SO YOU DON'T FALL ON THE UNPAVED SIDEWALKS. YOU MOVE PAST THE 30 MINUTE WAIT FOR THE 15 MINUTE BUS AS STUDENTS WALK BY WHO CAN NO LONGER TAKE IT. IN FRONT OF THE CLOSED MUSEUM IS A PARKED CAR DESTROYED BY A POTHOLE. A TENT CITY WHERE UNHOUSED PEOPLE ARE GETTING READY FOR WORK IS BEING HARASSED BY POLICE. YOU ARRIVE AT THE HOSPITAL AND PREPARE FOR YOUR 27 HOUR WAIT, THINKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS YOU MISS IN HALIFAX.

i’m tired, boss

New issue of the paper out tomorrow online and in Atlantic News & @kingsbookstore.bsky.social.

This week's paper is all about mayor Andy Fillmore. We got a story about his hypocrisy, about his chief of staff making stuff up about a $13,000 speech and some land lords doing an astroturf campaign.

i haven’t stopped thinking about Ducks, Newburyport since i heard about it, do i know anyone else here who’s read it?

The book: Jack White Collected Lyrics & Selected Writing Volume 1

There are three artists that taught me who I am, and Jack White is one of them. My next book contains an essay about what I learned from the Third Man, so I had no other choice: I had to grab this beautiful volume from @thirdmanbooks.bsky.social.

Thanks for the assist, @kingsbookstore.bsky.social!
