With the Trump administration cutting off SNAP benefits, I think it's really time to pull together. I made a little donation to City Harvest, and if you donate to any food bank and tell me what your small problem is, I'll give you a pep talk in Monday's newsletter! (Send me your receipt too!)

Wow. I hope he’s having a great time and learning tons. Really loved The Rachel Incident (Caroline O’Donoghue) and thought Woodworking (Emily St. James) was interesting. Loved The Colony (Audrey Magee) and A Visit from the Goon Squad (Jennifer Egan). John & Paul (Ian Leslie) is great. So many books!

I’m so sorry to hear there have been tough times. Think of me next to Lin on your fridge, cheering you on! Gosh, the kids must be so big now! I’ve definitely been reading a lot. Been slacking on crafts, but I just bought a bag of clay to try and spark some creativity. We’ll see!

How have you been? I’ve been terrible at keeping up with everyone since Twitter fell apart. I’m adrift social media-wise, it feels like. 💜

May I suggest The Beatles? As a way of escaping into something else for a bit? Even better if you read from Ian Leslie’s wonderful JOHN & PAUL: A Love Story in Songs while listening. I feel like an exposed nerve, and this book and these songs are a balm.
Also, the cookies (pictured) are helping.

It is a black and white portrait of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Lennon is behind McCartney and appears to be resting his chin on McCartney’s head.

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in (my) life:

1. The click of my camera shutter
2. My niece giving me a 2nd (or 3rd, or 4th) hug before she goes
3. When my autistic student says, “You are my very good friend.”
4. The last pages of a good book
5. My gma’s ID bracelet on my wrist

Should I buy a half frame camera? It’s pink and costs less than 30 bucks.

Richard writes so beautifully and precisely about films and just being human.
I was so inspired by his review of CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, I made art of Elio and Oliver enclosed in a terrarium and sent it to him. (Because I’m a huge dork.)
I hate this push to get rid of critics. I love critics!

31. KIKI’S DELIVERY SERVICE, Hayao Miyazaki. Aforementioned niece just finished reading the book the film is based on, so we watched it (again) together. A small joy.
A young witch rides her broomstick over water. She has an orange messenger style bag with a black cat, and there are seagulls flying around her.

30. MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO, Hayao Miyazaki. Saw it this time with my brother and niece as part of Ghibli Fest. First Studio Ghibli film on the big screen, and it didn’t disappoint. It’s just gentle and beautiful and feels like childhood. And there’s a catbus.

29. 28 DAYS LATER, Danny Boyle. “Don’t wake up.” God, this movie! It’s great. Cillian is great. Naomie Harris is great. Brendan Gleason is great. Christopher Eccleston is great. All great.

28. MATERIALISTS, Celine Song. Oh boy, the ways in which I did not like this…Terrible ending. Also terrible beginning and middle. Not a rom-com, but also not a romantic drama. Just a hollow nothing that made me hate people a little (more).
Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal. They’re at a wedding, seated at the same table.

27. The Phoenician Scheme, Wes Anderson. I kinda feel sorry for anyone who thinks Anderson is just repeating himself. There are so many joys to be had here. Benicio! The after/in-between-life scenes! Michael Cera! The hand grenades! Plus, it’s just very, very funny from the first minute.
Benicio Del Toro, in a sling, pilots a plane. Mia Threapleton, in a nun’s habit, stands over his shoulder. Michael Cera, in a corduroy jacket and bow tie stands to the left, looking out the window, possibly alarmed.

26. OSLO, AUGUST 31st, Joachim Trier.
A film about depression and not quite being able to get your feet back under you. An ending that feels both inevitable and impossible at once. Anders Danielsen Lie’s face is a marvel.
