so-soI found this at my local library and picked it up for its art deco style. These are three novels “told in pictures.” The artwork is beautiful. God‘s Man was solid, but the other two became a bit convoluted in terms of understanding their plots. It was a way to pass twenty minutes while waiting in line at the DMV. 😴👴☠️
I just received an email from LOA about a documentary about Gary Snyder, one of the last surviving Beats, & a character in one of the grimmest novels I have ever read in my life (Kerouac's Big Sur). This will be streaming this weekend. Think this will be of interest to you @leftcoastzen

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free
So thrilled to meet Nikki High, owner of Octavia‘s Bookshelf—California‘s only Black Woman owned bookstore in Pasadena, where namesake & beloved author Octavia E. Butler spent her life & writing career. During the recent California wildfires, Nikki moved all her books to the attic and opened her bookstore to neighbors who lost their homes and needed refuge. Let‘s #supportindiebookstores & community-minded sellers like Nikki!✌🏻❤️✊🏻

After work today I had to decompress at a cocktail bar down the street. The bartender made a Hammett reference, so I'm tagging this in... happy weekend, everyone! 🍷📚🍻
#MentalHealthMonday a day late !
1.every day is crazy day.I have much to do but the pain & cruelty coming down in this political scene is toxic.
2.music is always a great idea!
3. I was pretty edgy in my choices as a young adult, I find myself in this crazy time gravitating to the pop/rock of my childhood for comfort!😁I am diehard NPR usually, but can‘t take the ridiculous crap all day long.
