A poem,

like trying

to remember,

is a movement

of the whole body.

You follow the

fog

into more fog.

it’s weird to mention yiddish just because the guy you hate is jewish

most references to a living language being β€œancient” get real weird real fast but talking about the ancientness of a language that’s barely a thousand years old feels like its own kind of weird

One of the things you learn as an ancient historian is that when you sit next to a white guy on a plane and they ask you what you do, you are going to to need to tell them that you are an accountant.

i believe there are about a hundred and fifty million people like me who would pay $17 to watch benicio del toro as sergio st. carlos plan and execute a tight sunday costco run before he has to man the barbecue after his niece's afternoon soccer game (run time: 2 hours 20 minutes)

Please take the time and see this on the biggest screen that is available to you. It was filmed for the cinema experience. It is so funny and thrilling and the final needledrop made me burst into open-hearted tears.

Have you heard of tactical frivolity?

It’s one of my favorite forms of protest.

Tactical frivolity is what happens when you use humor, costumes, and joy to make power look ridiculous. πŸͺ©πŸ”πŸΈοΏΌ
