There’s something about sharing a cigar that makes the conversation last a little longer.
At Red Phone Booth, the ritual is part of the evening.
👉 Find your seat and stay awhile.

I love editing work, but I feel deeply exhausted when someone gives me something they’ve created with AI to edit for a human touch. Human touch-up is a whole new marketplace generated by AI. It feels like an evolution of ghosting. (Not that I’ve ever ghosted.)

POEM 368: "Adrift in the Age of Dictators" by Jude Marr
"ships are trees, bodies are water
heart songs are fire: we are, because liquid
this world our container
I take breath from the bottom of the sky
watch bodies fall"

I tell my clients this all the time: if someone in your family is cheering for your failure, you don't owe them access to your life.
And forgiveness isn't for them. It's for you, to put the weight down. That's the only reason to ever offer it.

Breaking my pause to share this incredibly beautiful review of @dylanmattingly work. Dylan is the Whitman of our time. It’s not more violence that will shock us into waking up but the pure beautiful joy of true art that reaches for what we must strive for
