a small part:
“ask what time it is;
and the wind,
the wave,
the star,
the bird,
the clock
will answer you:
"Time to get drunk!
Don't be martyred slaves of Time,
Get drunk!
Stay drunk!
On wine, virtue, poetry, whatever”

To drink wine and feel, uncontrollably, in passionate desire -- but know it is only for a brief time
The sad truth is that sometimes feelings are bottled up in maladaptive ways. And what drinking can be is a way to open the door to what's hidden from view even of the self. And to step through the threshold and fall down the bottomless pit of desire and amorousness for the world and connection. To feel the unbearable joy of breathing the energy of my compatriots, my comrades. Why does this door only unlock with this dumb and poisoning key

Okay so word on the street is that my piece for liminal mischief is dropping soon so keep an eye out
And I was in fact a wee bit sloshed in the course of writing it and was going to post a rec about writing drunk like Hemingway. but I discovered in the course of my preliminary factcheck that this may not even be true and Hemingway may in fact have only only been a recreational alcoholic.
But I leave you with these words from Gore Vidal, professional hater, my literal kin and most favorite alcoholic of all time:
“Well, almost all American male writers are alcoholic, and as a result of the alcohol they become less capable sexually as they get older. They also become confused about which is their penis, which is their pen. Think of all those clones of Hemingway, drinking and worrying - fortunately they write very little.“

every time i bake a cake for someone (which became my weekly reality) i save the scraps to make a smol test bite. test bites are great! not only for cakes! there is something endearing about taking the time to make a small version of any dish, with all the important components, just to try it yourself before serving to other people. like a quality control
