You know though - the babka at Trader Joe's is actually pretty good! I say this as a true jerk purist, who would otherwise advise you go to a super chasidic/kosher bakery (Oneg in s williamsburg is good). Generally sweet kosher baked goods are not great, because they tend to be parve (dairy free) - but the babka usually transcends. thank goodness!

Feeling my heart like a large and looming window today, my Toasts.
Are we on some kind of brink? (Are we ever not on some kind of brink?)
(Daily thanks to you for these, Nicole!)

though also, yes, it must also have to do with the patriarchy (wish i could link to the comments below, somehow? pygmalion person?), which must also be tied to the time/age thing? not only inadvertently conforming to it but also, simultaneously, being overtly unwilling to abide by it, which is isolating. meaning, as the number of fucks we can give to The Man/to people accepting of The Man evaporates into negative infinity - who is left that can actually hear you? that is safe? that is worthfuckingwhile?
except that again - oh, right you guys. the beauty of this list seems to be about cracking yourself open anyway, right in the face of all that self-righteous calcified anger and armour and trying hard etc. which is why we all need each other, bleeding and open and awkward as we all are in the dark places - and why you're all so fucking amazing. god damnit, toast. i love you.
i'm not sure this makes sense or will be legible to below responders but - my women - i salute you from my respective crevasse.
