...But then it didn't end

It's ninety-something (million?) degrees here and I'm spending my days with excellent, curious students and singing to Palace on the 405.  I'm also...

...imagining myself a ghost in Venice (Gia Tolentino at The Billfold).

...learning to be a better friend to women (Roxane Gay at Jezebel).

...considering birds (Anna Joy Springer at NAP).

...considering all of NAP, actually.

...revisiting Lydia Davis.

...remembering the fireworks (after all, it still feels like July).  (Leesa Cross-Smith in Juked).
