Reads. Writes. Weeps. Drinks.
Tired: Hipster Barbershop
Wired: Hipster Barbershop/Surgeon as in days of yore. Millennials can come in for a haircut, a shot of bourbon and then have minor surgeries and/or dental work done. All procedures listed for a reasonable price on a chalkboard menu out front.
I’m on my way home to Colorado but before I head up to Creede, I’m excited to read at Inkberry Books in Niwot tonight at 7, so if the snow kept you at home a couple weeks ago when I was in Longmont, come see me a little ways down the road.
"Most of us understand voter suppression as the 1960s images of billy clubs," says Stacey Abrams. "But in the 21st century, voter suppression looks like administrative errors. It looks like user error...But it is just as intentional and just as insidious." https://trib.al/Ho1yJMQ
“Nourish yourself with grand and austere ideas of beauty that feed the soul… Seek solitude.”
200 years ago, Delacroix didn't have Twitter. But he had some fine insight into how to best resist social distraction in order to do better creative work: https://www.brainpickings.org/2015/04/17/delacroix-journal-solitude/
Smart, tough, fair piece.
“...there are no black presidents among the 14 universities in the Southeastern Conference. Almost all the universities in this powerful athletic bloc are located in states of the old Confederate South, where the majority of black Americans live." https://twitter.com/andreperryedu/status/1230609743078711296
I am amazed to find my collection, Sefira and Other Betrayals, on the shortlist for the Bram Stoker Award, alongside terrific work by lovely people!

People who hear "radiation eating fungi" and think "those will come in handy" watched entirely too few 1950s/1960s B-movies https://twitter.com/6point626/status/1230449800488853504

I’m going to congratulate you instead of Zoot. I’d go to her directly, but I have a feeling she won’t remember her old pals who knew her back when she was cursing sparrows.
Capuchin. Fucking brilliant.

Amazing, isn’t it, how much attention a six-pound animal with no ambition and fewer prospects can garner with a hissy fit?

Boss, Boss, cursing sparrows! Stop, stop, I can’t breath, I’m laughing so hard.

You may be but a lowly siphonapterid, F.F., but you have taste. Hell, you’d make a better president than Incurious George. At least you admit you’re not boss.

Oh, isn’t THIS just a lovely mutual admiration society.

Uh-huh, yes, and you’re above blandishments, Zoot, we all know. That page of fawning over your presidential endorsement proves it.

Boss, Boss, brilliant! You zinged her right where she licks! You’re like the Marconi of cat ripostes; the Tesla of feline rejoinders; the Edison of pussy put-downs.
