Cat.

Sharing to revisit later in concert with Madison friends

Sometimes I mix up authors Jenny Offill and Jenny Odell.

I'M SORRY

I livestreamed this song cycle's 2022 premiere, but it should be experienced live. They played paper for fire and rubbed exposed piano strings for ice. Singers bending over the piano sang directly into the strings. "A man bowed chimes," I just typed for the first time in my life.

‘People are rooting for the whale’: the strange American tradition of Moby-Dick reading marathons For decades, diehard fans have joined together to read Herman Melville’s 600-page novel aloud in exotic locations

A man in glasses holds an orange cat named Raimi on his shoulder.

Two years ago I made one of my final threads on the Twitter. I'd like to reproduce it here, because this is the better place. On Oct. 25, 2022, I lost the best cat. His name was Raimi (after the director). He was 11. Cancer and a host of other issues that all came on at the same time.
