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.

I am glad you have health insurance again but not that you have to pay more for it. (My premium went up again, yet I just had to pay a ridiculous sum for a prescription my insurance won't cover.)
