    I’ve seen my new physiotherapist twice and both times I’ve cried during treatment. Not because of pain — well, not true, it’s been because of pain’s release, but its mental release.The first time was because, after listening to me explain the last five months, they acknowledged it was a lot. The second time it was because, after I re-aggravated something while (I think) biking in Amsterdam, they said pain was stupid. A blunt force instrument of the body. That after five months of consistent pain

    My dog’s ashes are on the couch. Well, they’re in a box on the couch. They don’t stay there, but every now and then, I move my dog’s ashes to her favorite spot on the couch. That way I can look over from my desk, like I used to, when I could feel her looking back at me.Every dog owner can relate to the mental preparations you take as they age. Joni lived to be 16 (I had her almost half my life), but about the time she turned eight, I recall starting to worry and cry about how someday I’d be face

    We stood in the Cortile Antico of the Palazzo del Bo, seeking the shade of one of its many stone columns for relief from the Veneto sun. Martino — Marty — sketched a finger through the air over the jumbled rows of stone crests along each of the courtyard’s inner walls. Waiting for him to finish supervising his students sitting for their exam, I’d wandered into the courtyard about an hour before and thought the crests funereal in function. Turns out, each was to mark the graduation of a student f

    Some housekeeping: I’m away on a needed solo trip, traipsing through northern Italy and then stopping in Amsterdam to visit with old friends before heading home. In light of that, I want to unlock and share this piece from last fall with a refrain that in some ways has strengthened in our global consciousness, but in other ways and in recent weeks, fallen away altogether. Losing Gloria Steinem, Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, Yayoi Kusama, such forces in their work and lives, has dredged up their memor

    Minnesota needs this (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    The other day, my friend Jackson sent our group chat a photo from the Minnesota State Fair Crop Art gallery. It was an entire wall of Olivia Miles recreated in various seeds and grains, glued to a backing board, recreated through impressionistic collage. All the details you need to identify Miles are present: a large afro filling most of the frame, with a set of rec specs defining her blank silhouette.
