Today I saw written in the dust of a back window of a car: Love you forever. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned here that I would like my next master’s degree to be in the anthropology of car dust writing. I went to Trader Joe’s by myself for the first time today. It went… Read More »

Those huge grapes I bought last night are really delicious. In fact, maybe I’ll go back for more. Part of their excellent is their crispness. I didn’t know I like my grapes crisp.

Animals and the environment are harmed. Money is wasted that could be used to help people and feed the poor. Mental health is compromised, art… Read More »
