I meant every word of this. I'm so damn lucky to have the wisdom and kindness (and occasional and much-needed ass-kick) of @kalins in my life, and her book The Kitchen Whisperers is a mighty good encapsulation of that. https://twitter.com/kalins/status/1446228479360503815

I'd really love to hear about the art & entertainment that got you through this year, if you don't mind sharing. I'm sure I'll keep thinking of things, but the song Distant Axis by Matt Berninger, the book Memorial by @brywashing & podcasts @sayswhopodcast & @pchh helped a lot.

There's so much voice and personality anywhere I flip. First of all, I want to eat the thing, but also I'm laughing while reading it. I loved, "I like bananas because they grow and change with me."

I just preordered the living hell out of @tucker_shaw's "When You Call My Name" and feel silly for having not done so before this. If you don't already follow him, here's a great place to start: https://t.co/rJF1eMfqWD

My beloved @margareteby texted my this morning to say how much she loves @lindaholmes' Flying Solo and it occurred to me that I hadn't properly publicly screamed about how special and excellent this book is and how it celebrates betting on your own happiness.
