Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community.
Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.
I'm knitting in the corner at a party
and guys my age stop by to tell me I remind them of their aunt, of their grandmother. This is a compliment and I take it as such. They confess to having tried crochet once, and I smile. They get back in line for the bathroom.
I'm knitting in the corner at a party and a queer woman sits on the floor next to me, arranges her skirt, and smiles up at me. (I try not to blush.) She asks me all the questions on her mind about my craft and I answer them, hands still moving. We swap yarn sources. She doesn't stay, but she knows where to find me.
I'm knitting in the corner at a party and everyone knows where to find me when they need a minute, when socializing is too much and the music is too loud and they need to catch their breath. They pretend to be checking in on me, which is sweet, but I can see the relief in their eyes the moment they stop performing for a house full of people. They sit down and tell me things and all the while they never take their eyes off my hands.
The party has wound down and I'm still knitting and the hosts, two guys in their twenties, thank me for "helping to curate the vibe." I had no idea that's what I was doing. I leave the party having forgotten to drink anything and without that woman's number but with many rows added to my top-down raglan sweater. I call it a night, and a good one.

Mi fa schifo la Meloni e tutta la destra, non ho mai votato da quella parte da quando ho potuto votare e piuttosto che farlo mi taglierei una mano per citare Elodie.
Ma ogni volta che sotto un mio post di questa settimana ho dovuto leggere roba come "la censura meloniana" capisco quanto stamme accise pure a sinistra se pensate che si è potuto fare un Festival di Sanremo imponendo ai cantanti, ai musicisti e tutti gli ospiti come vestirsi e cosa dire.
Se pensate questo state dando dei deficienti a tutti quanti, compresi i cantanti che ascoltate e venerate perché secondo voi si sono messi un completo elegante non per compiacere una partnership con un brand che gliel'ha regalato, ma perché si è fatto piegare dalla censura.
Che poi è un attimo passare da questo a fare il pelo ad ogni politico di sinistra e passare il tempo in un circolo masturbatorio di seghe mentali e non votare neanche più a sinistra mentre l'elettore di destra tutti questi problemi non se li fa e ci ritroviamo col governo attuale.
day by day
I’m in love.
