Okay, it's been a while since I did a random #music post. So here's a R&B soul number by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell: Ain’t No Mountain High Enough

New Yorkers are lining up at 83rd and 2nd to buy chicken over rice to support Mohamed Hussein, the street vendor who was harassed by Islamophobic former US State Department official Stuart Seldowitz. You gotta love this city ❤️
Why reading matters for a writer. #3

#StephenKing's On Writing is an absolute banger of a book.

"If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that."

"Reading is the creative center of a writer’s life."

"[I]f you expect to succeed as a writer, rudeness should be the second-to-least of your concerns. The least of all should be polite society and what it expects. If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered, anyway."
