Apparently I'm in a contest pitted against "Men Don't Read"? Heads, as we say, will roll.

Doubly good morning
Kitchen counter, knife block to the left, bananas in a bunch middle-back of screen, two Duchess Mugs front and center, filled with coffee, whipped cream, and a generous helping of sprinkles. In the background, cream-colored subway tile backsplash, and to the right my maternal grandmother's green ceramic toothpick holder. No toothpicks inside.

My collection of connected stories is out today (paperback and ebook)! And published by the very cool @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social! There are much more important things going on everywhere, but it sure would be nice if you'd spent a little time in the tiny West Town of Yonder.

Good morning, all
Coffee mug adorned by the face of Duchess Goldblatt and topped with whipped cream and lively sprinkles. Mug rests on shabby wooden table near a dark window to the pre-dawn balcony. Coffee table books, 5 of them, in a blurred stack to the left, geode crystal sitting on top. To the right, one peek of a Cape Cod painting by our friend Edward. It is early. The time change hasn't helped anyone.

A belated good morning ☀️
Coffee (semi-sloshed at left edge) in a mug adorned by the face of Duchess Goldblatt. No whipped cream. White bookshelf. Some books lined up in a row. That face, that face, looks out at us, and we still have hope.

Good morning, all
Wooden coffee table. Festive Duchess mug filled to the brim with coffee and topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. In the blurred background, a cushioned window seat with pale green beachy pillows. A hearty good morning to marchers, ralliers, and friends of peace and freedom everywhere.

Out now: 37 new episodes of my podcast, all featuring me and the monks of Crooked Path as we sit in contemplative silence for hours. Bliss.

Home of the Brave launched a $1 million national ad campaign in support of the peaceful No Kings rallies on Oct. 18th.

The ads will run in over 185 local papers and The New York Times, USA Today and The Washington Post calling on Americans to “peacefully protest our false king."

My newsletter this week is short. It's about content, context, and chronic pain (kind of).

www.leahreich.com/this-medium-...
a screenshot that reads: We live in the era of content. Content! What the fuck is content? And what is all this content without its context? What are any of us without context? Without context, we can become divorced from the fullness of meaning. Sometimes we are even divorced from any meaning at all. I know that context isn't fixed, that the context in which I create something is not the context in which you will have your own experience of it. We all know that so much of what matters is unwritten, beyond view, out of frame, not gridworthy. But god, some days I feel as if I were drowning in an ocean and my only refuge a floating garbage island. Where am I even going with this? The drowning is how my context sometimes makes me feel, because of all the work that goes into dealing with it, because I deal with it alone, and because even if I didn't, no one else can see it. The floating garbage island is the assortment of shitty, half-baked content generating platforms—far less social, much more media—that make isolation feel so much lonelier. If you thought you and your problems were invisible before you unlocked your phone, boy howdy does that not compare with how you feel when you realize you're not even good at getting attention by shouting into the void.

Good morning, especially, to @duchessgoldblatt.bsky.social and all of her friends
White balcony. Classic Duchess Mug™️ filled with coffee, cinnamon, and light foam rests on the railing. In the distance, palm trees, homes, one with a metal roof nearby to the upper right. Farther back, you can see the early sunrise gradations of blue, pink, peach, and light yellow tones of a changing sky. Moon, not pictured, slightly less full than yesterday, sits high and to the left. Still bright.
