An Apprenticeship of the Book of Pleasures was the book that Anna was reading in her vlog yesterday. Anna said that Clarice Lespector is so good that her work should be read aloud like Shakespeare.

Anyway, it has got me thinking about reading out loud again. It doesn’t bother Emily. I only stopped because it was making my throat burn and I was using an app to make bullet point notes which stripped all the nuance. When I abandoned that app, which became immensely frustrating to me, I abandoned reading out loud. And I need to get back to that because I’m having a HORRIBLE reading block. Not writer’s block, clearly.

OMG THIS IS HYSTERICAL:

Oh man, this song is awesome, from a short a couple years ago. Great job, Alanna! I don’t think it ever made an album…

Great cover by Nicole Alexis

Baseball Card Stories had quite the experience with Whatnot. Crappy seller shipped it badly, but it was well worth the price he paid for the lots he won. It ends up being quite the win. Still, I’m staying the hell away still from the platform. But with his luck, Stephen will probably strike gold again.
Proof that I’m not crazy. Olivia truly is the savior of modern rock! Steph is great too.

Definitely keeping an eye on this young singer songwriter Sariah Sinay.

Tegan Quin is my hero. She hasn’t aged a day in like fifteen years when I saw Tegan and Sara live in concert at the Orpheum Theater in Boston. Awesome conversations here with Hesta Prynn.
And another one…

These journals Anna is posting on Substack are just… absolutely gorgeous to read. Her poetry watching habits truly shine through. I hope her and her partner have the best time ever in Europe.

There were many beautiful lines in those journals. But this one was so powerful that I restacked it:
“Sometimes, I see what people are making and I’m convinced they’re Earth angels casting spells to calm us all the fuck down.” – Anna Howard
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more beautiful way to look at making and creating.

I like Heather. Sarcasm is also my second language. Yet another great channel to follow for superb AuDHD content 🙂
Unfortunately she was just diagnosed with breast cancer! PLEASE GET THROUGH IT, YOU’RE AWESOME!
I commented: “Heather, I just came across your channel, and I love your mindset in the face of such a diagnosis. I feel like if anyone can beat the cancer, it would be you! As a cancer survivor myself (been over a decade in remission), I’m rooting hard for you!”

Lots of great Billie Eilish quotes in here. Great little video someone made.

Found this lovely Salem Darling through a YouTube short and really liked this song:
Bonus points for this cover of “drivers license.” she’s got a hell of a voice!

Speaking of voices, check out Mia Baron. WOW!
