💬 Spring has officially arrived and I can’t help but think of one of my favorite love poems, Everyday You Play, by Pablo Neruda. The final stanza especially:

🎨 Been fascinated with Jeremiah Goodman’s gorgeous paintings, especially the “garden in hell"— which was the living room of former Vogue Editor-in-Chief, Diana Vreeland. Her eclectic home has inspired an abundance of beautiful derivative works. See attached photos for examples.

✍️ First They Came (Grammar Edition):

First they came for the em dash
And I did not speak out
Because I did not use the em dash
Then they came for the Oxford comma
And I did not speak out
Because I did not use the Oxford Comma
Then they came for the serial semicolon
And I did not speak out
Because I did not use the serial semicolon
Then they came for iambic
And I did not speak out
Because I did not write in iambic
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
That knew how to write a defense for me

How I feel when people tell me not to use em dashes in my writing anymore...
