My #sundaysentence this week is Ani DiFranco contemplating the immediate outcome of writing: “I wake up to the fact that I have transformed my pain into something more beautiful and useful than it was in its original state.”

Maybe it was the owner's daughter's birthday that morning and the owner -- a truly gifted baker -- made a two-layer chocolate cake with buttercream icing, but they're flying coach-class to Thailand in the afternoon so they left half that cake behind.

So many Kings…

Am I making this up, or was Lily King part of our original #sundaysentence community back on twitter? I feel like i’m not making that up.

Back to Graham Greene again for my #sundaysentence this week: "Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic fear which is inherent in the human situation."

I’m talking like an expert here but in fact last time i ate puffballs was as a kid. Was a family hobby, mushrooms. The only wilds i’m comfortable IDing and eating these days are chanterelles (which are amazing)

Christian Bauman @christianbauman.bsky.social · 12d

You don’t want puffballs when they’re in their explosive stage, of course. But when they’re still solid, slice em like a loaf of bread, egg bath em, and saute.

Ever eaten a puffball?
