I’m doing research for a project and found out about the “don’t buy where you can’t work” movement during the depression, where Black people boycotted and picketed places that wouldn’t hire us. Shout out to everyone who’s not going back to Target!

Also struck by how, thirty years ago, I could read "September's coming soon" as "summer is drawing to a close" but that's not the likeliest of understandings for a new listener in 2025
On the way to work I was moved to tears by "Nightswimming" (you, I thought you knew me) so that's an auspicious start to November?
One thing that's helpful when I'm not sure how to abstract something is to look at origami
Morally and aesthetically repugnant in a way only accessible to the wealthy
The terror of ambiguity is the opposite of a creative impulse. However much this bathroom cost, that money could have paid for finesse or intrigue or daring or hell even comfort. Instead it paid for materials because it indisputably reads as costly

Counterpoint: he definitely lacks the confidence to be sexually passive
One thing about me is I will only read something with mostly correct capitalization or absolutely no capitalization

If You Think It's Cool to Capitalize Everything as Though It Were a Title or Something I Will Gloss the Fuck Over Every Single Thing You Write
Things aren't great but I did get to hear new work composed explicitly to help (lol) students in a Beatles course gain understanding of what alto flute/rhodes electric piano instrumentation sounds like
