You don't need to like that feeling
It took nearly another hour on the phone even with the unobstructive assistance of another customer service representative, but we have health insurance again and it will only cost slightly more than half as much again, which was of course too much to begin with.
I have not read The Outsiders (1967) or Rumble Fish (1975) since high school at the latest and yet as soon as I read that Mary Renault was one of S. E. Hinton's favorite and influential authors, it made such sense to me that I want to re-read to see the likeness, beyond all those beautiful doomed young men.
The eye-rattling industrial hyperpop of Sophie's "Ponyboy" (2017) was something extremely different.
It would be really nice to be able to read José Esteban Muñoz or Mark Fisher on the queer hauntological dancefloor of Midland's Fragments of Us (2024).
We lit the candle for my grandfather's yahrzeit.

"Mary Renault is the writer who’s influenced the way I think about things like envy and jealousy and nobility." Damn right, and I hope S.E. is on a throne of wrapped, sequential twenties enjoying her flowers, after all these decades. (Eli went banana-nut-loaf for the musical when the theatre department went to see it last year. The verdict was "not gay enough," but still.)
Your grandparents' memories are definitely blessings. *hugs*

It should really not cost a quarter of our rent which while we're on the subject is definitely not a third of our income.
(I got a paper denial today! It made me want a bird, and a cage to put the paper in!)
Balls! I regret that I cannot manifest you a parakeet. (I do not regret that I cannot manifest a parakeet around Jorts.)

I'll have to ask him about it!
She sounded from that interview as though she's doing well. And she likes the musical. [edit] And she reads and writes fic including for her own most famous novel, so she is probably living her best life.
