I went from reading a few books a year to around one a week. I wanted to write down how I got there, how it involved rethinking my relationship to attention, and why I believe reading books can heal your brain. I hope this gives you something useful! johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/how-i-lear...
Also, keep your cat and their succulent head indoors! 😽
ever want someone to stop talking to you at a party, just say these three simple words, in any order.
Italian Absolution, just out, cover by Lorenzo Ceccotti.
Somehow pointing out that a cat's head may be the most succulent part so unlikely a coyote is a culprit given the head was left behind... is not making me very popular on NextDoor.
Two very cute dads-with-kids moments occurred just now. Dad 1 on bike with kid in booster on front: "Ooh, see that flag. Isn't it beautiful. Nice people probably live there." Dad 2: "Look at that great skeleton with the moss! You can go closer and peek, but be respectful."
Your moment of calm. @sallyfisherprice.bsky.social put up the new flag at our place.
Next time I want to be removed from an email chain or group chat I'm going to point out that a cat's head may be the most succulent part.
