"If someone from LA says the went to Joshua Tree and saw the same nonnative owls in a canyon on repeat and there may have been 3 or 2 (or who knows how many!?) of them flying around, take everything after with a grain or two or two thousands of salt. Especially if they leave the hike super happy after talking about the end of the world, and they don’t know why! Ugh. Reminds me of some people I’d like to forget." Feb 18, 2021 08:54PM

“There is nothing fiercer than a failed artist. The energy remains, but, having no outlet, it implodes in a great black fart of rage which smokes up all the inner windows of the soul. Horrible as successful artists often are, there is nothing crueler or more vain than a failed artist.”
Erica Jong, Fear of Flying

William S. Burroughs
“When you stop growing you start dying.”

Christopher R. Beha, What Happened to Sophie Wilder
