Reading Meghan O’Gieblyn write about AA threw me into old memories of my teen years and a 24-hour experience that cracked something open in me. https://t.co/0iYw4mHfk9

What’s the best use of a home appliance in a movie? Ok I’ll start: my pick is the KRUPS coffeemaker in Claire Denis’ Nénette and Boni.

The Hedley Twidle piece in @Harpers on his efforts to uncover who keeps chopping of Cecil Rhodes nose (long dead British imperialist of the nastiest order+diamond miner) reads like a Pynchon novel and taught me so much about South African history! So great https://t.co/l9z0rHRD40

What’s the right literary pub for a review of three Oregon women poets writing about soil and the force of relationships, like a triptych—young, middle, old?!

Do you bring the idea of sliding scale into your personal life? How? Here’s how I’ve begun playing with it https://t.co/IDL3kX6TrF

Kiese Laymon’s piece about 3x3 basketball helped me relive the ways that game had animated my life! Also, I am now obsessed with Allisha Gray. And finally, “Lil Horticulture” 🙌 Read it!

Because the time for chanterelles in Oregon is RIGHT NOW, and this year is especially bonanza, here are some reflections in my long-hibernating newsletter on one of the things that makes me feel most alive.

Confession: I watched and thought an enormous amount about Jackie Chan in the last year. Case in point: here is the 1st of 4 meditations on why he was the medicine I didn’t know I needed. https://t.co/vvDvmtxoN6

Gawd this article where @PhilippaSnow overlays Lars von Trier films on Britney’s life took my breath away!! Thanks for sharing Phil! Must read!!

[Phillip Maciak @pjmaciak]

To quote @PhilippaSnow: "wrote a long mad essay about two documentaries about Britney Spears — one of which is the Lars von Trier film Breaking the Waves" / This is it: https://t.co/ppjZMRi9Xt

I let my newsletter take a breather but I'm back with a very sweet story shared by JoJo Baccam about her grandmother's Phuc Choup--and the ways we continue the food traditions we learned as children. https://t.co/jw32lwDSYD

@Umkhozeli @Milkweed_Books Thank you so much! I love that you also see what you do in that light. I think there is value in illuminating things people may not have seen before 😊

[Lola Milholland @lolamilho]

I am incredibly excited to share the news that a book I am dreaming of writing has been acquired by the publisher I most longed to work with: @Milkweed_Books !! https://t.co/99P5hT66AD

This week's newsletter is a peek inside my book idea--about my experiences with communal living, nontraditional households, and the people who I love and have challenged me in those settings. In several years, there will be a book, which I will believe when I see!
