"It is not paranoia when they have told you in advance what they intend to forget."

The dates of the surgeries, the names of the doctors, the letters, the receipts in a fireproof box on the floor of a closet in a house on red Georgia clay.

Close-up selfie of a person wearing glasses and a gray patterned headscarf, with dark hair visible and a green patterned shirt. The background is dark and out of focus.

— Audre Lorde, A Burst of Light (1988)

She wrote that while she was dying, which is the detail people leave out when they put it on a candle. Not a bath. The decision to keep a body alive that a system had already written off, and to understand that decision as strategy.

What have you stopped protecting?

When a dread shows up, write one line: the single piece of evidence you actually have for it. Not the fear. The evidence. Then put the pen down.

Most dread cannot produce a receipt. It arrives dressed as a conclusion and hopes you won't ask for the paperwork, and when you ask, it thins out into what it always was. The ones that can produce a receipt have earned your attention — and now you know which ones those are.

Tha do chorp a' cuimhneachadh — your body remembers.

Half a head of green cabbage, shredded as fine as you have patience for. One cup flour, two eggs, three-quarters of a cup of water, whisked loose. Fold the cabbage in with a handful of sliced scallion until every shred is coated.

Widest skillet you own, oil until it shimmers. Press the whole thing in as one thick coin. Four or five minutes a side, until the underside is lacquer-brown and it slides when you shake the pan. Cut in wedges. Splash of soy.

Two dollars. Three people. Hot food with a crisp edge and a soft middle. Nobody in this house goes to bed hungry because the week was hard — that's a rule I made a long time ago and I have never once regretted the cabbage.

What's your two-dollar meal?

Foil-lined dish filled with seasoned artichoke halves or quarters, roasted until browned and tender, with crinkled aluminum foil covering the top.

Skullcap, lemon balm, chamomile, rose. Dried, packed loose in a clean pint jar.

Three parts vegetable glycerin to one part distilled water, poured while you stir so the glycerin actually moves into the plant instead of sitting on top of it. Cap it, date it, dark cupboard. Four to six weeks, shake it whenever you remember. Strain through cloth, squeeze hard, bottle. Half a teaspoon under the tongue at the hour your brain decides to relitigate 2019.

Two honest cautions. Buy skullcap from a source you trust — the market has a long history of adulteration with germander, which is hard on the liver. And chamomile sits in the ragweed family, so if that family has ever closed your throat, leave it out and let the other three carry it.

What do you reach for at three in the morning?

A glass jar is tipping dried herbs and flower petals onto a white plate, forming a small pile on a light tabletop with a few pieces scattered around.

I love that photo. I miss Düsseldorf a bit. But being home is nice too. It was an awesome time. I met cool people, got engaged after one month of knowing my hubby, I started working after studying. So many important steps. Thanks for that. Miss you. Miss my friends from there. ❤️

Six minutes in a dry skillet with oil, a smashed clove, salt. Tear the bread with your hands — never cube it with a knife, the ragged edges are the whole point.

They go the color of a paper bag. Four hundred years of Italian grandmothers have called it poor man's parmesan.

Cost: nothing. It keeps a week in a jar and turns any sad bowl of anything into a dish with a top note.

Aran — bread.

What did your grandmother refuse to throw away?

A white bowl filled with golden seasoned breadcrumbs or stuffing crumbs, speckled with herbs, sits on a weathered wooden surface. Green herbs and a garlic clove are softly blurred in the background.

We do not evaporate on contact with paperwork.

A federal apparatus with subpoena power, a Medicaid administrator, a cable network, and a $25 billion wizard franchise all pointed themselves at us this week.

Net result: Canada expanded our rights. Brazil published our data. Massachusetts opened its wallet. Two directors said absolutely not in four words. The government folded its own subpoena.

Bidh sinn beò.

Forty minutes from my kitchen, a guard on nine dollars an hour was handed a policy nobody wrote down and sent to audit what women were wearing.

Two shirts said trans women don't belong in the game. One said trans kids do. All three were treated as a matched set, which is the part that should keep you up. The equivalence is not a mistake in the machine. It is the machine.

One shirt is a life. The other is an opinion about a life.

Indiana Fever player No. 8 rises to shoot a basketball over a defender in a black jersey labeled “20 IONESCU” during a packed arena game. Her jersey reads “FEVER” and “salesforce,” with a “Lilly” sponsor patch. A close-up of a smiling blue-and-white mascot with spiky blue hair, a white headband, large brown eyes, and a maroon-and-white jersey. A blurred crowd and arena lights fill the background.
