Ten.Seven Hundred & Sixty-Nine

1. More sleep. Just want more sleep.

2. Lemon water. I slice up the avocado, drizzle extra-virgin olive oil, sprinkle Maldon salt and a little pepper.

3. Already time to go. I look in the mirror and set an intention.

4. It’s a humid morning, the fog is hanging around longer than usual. Gold and green and gray and blue.

5. “The edges, the very limited ways that our politics are organized around self-interested desires only; the things that “touch us at our homes,” but never, ever the other stuff, as if a Black Lives Matter march is not a queer project, as if Sakia’s life as a queer person is not also a part of what it means to fight for black liberation. And so, we do; we stop right there, which is why I like to be very clear, when I’m talking about love I’m talking about costly love, not cheap, Hallmark-ish love the way that we’ve come to imagine it.” - Darnell Moore, On Being

6. The upside is that I will be able to listen to more and more podcasts.

7. So many kids.

8. Weekend workouts at work.

9. “So I talk about un-becoming — not becoming a man, but what it might mean to un-become: our failing at this project, this cage, these ideas of manhood that have been mapped onto us. I think, to me, that is where our freedom lies.” - Darnell Moore, On Being

10. October is going to be good.
