Elixr Coffee: Year One
Today marks the one year anniversary of Elixr! I go on about this coffee shop a lot but it’s not without reason. Check them out in the action in the above video. Each Philly coffee shop has their own preferred method of brewing hand poured coffees and Elixr is known for the Chemex. The first time I had a cup of coffee prepared with this method I felt like I...

Craft-town, U.S.A.
I sewed mad curtains tonight, you guys. I had to learn how to wind the bobbin, change the needle to the proper weight for velvet — I feel very accomplished. I just wanted to share that, perhaps soon I will share a photo of the curtains in their home at Odd Fellows and gloat over my skillz.

New York November 10, 1958
Dear Thom:

Second — There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean,...

Yesterday, as part of MLK Day events at Yale, there was a free Sweet Honey in the Rock concert. It was amazing. Everything about it was fantastic. I just finished reading a biography of Afeni Shakur (a really rad Black Panther, b/k/a Tupac’s mom) by Jasmine Guy, and the end of the book is the…

Driving to Virginia
There is a lot of rain. It could be snow though, and I’m very glad that it’s not. I am awaiting my chariot, the Big Medicine, the Great White Buffalo of conversion vans — good god, it just occurred to me that the van’s name is wildly appropriative. I will have to call it something else in my head from now on. But at any rate, we’re off to Harrisonburg for one night of...

– Martin Luther King, Jr., “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”
