Do you have any good book recs?

ooh good question!! some books i loved so much i have gifted to other people at least twice:

middle reader, wholesome, will fix you: everybody needs to read the adorable bunnicula (deborah and james howe) and i will not take no for an answer. a coworker told me once that she hadn't read it and i bought and shipped her a copy before we got off the zoom call. i would do the same for any of you. it's written by harold the dog, who is like "the new family pet seems like a rabbit" meanwhile chester the cat, an intellectual, is like "that is a horror beyond comprehension and i shall Prove It."

grown up, nonfiction book that may change your relationship to the human experience maybe: tiny beautiful things (cheryl strayed). this is a compilation of a then-anonymous internet advice column "dear sugar," which makes it an engaging read for those of us with Internet Brain who struggle to commit to a whole huge book all at once. it's so compassionately written and gave me such an insight into different facets of the human condition that it Changed Me both as a person and how i write characters and i fell in love with humanity. let yourself be gutted let it open you etc etc. don't read it on the bus but read it!!!!

grown-up fiction book no one has heard of: love in the asylum (lisa carey). i read it years ago but it was one of those "woah i didn't realize you could do that" because it has three points of view written in different tenses/styles. it's a personal present-day story about two people's differing experiences with mental health/addiction/hospitalization in the present, and unearthing the story of a woman institutionalized by her husband in the past.

everyone heard of it but a long time ago so let's bring it back: steal like an artist (austin kleon) this is among my favorite books about the creative process and it's little and with very few words on each page and easy to absorb! (the others fyi are twyla tharp's the creative habit and stephen king's on writing, both of which have a lot of words.) i'm not sure why it popped into my head because i haven't read it in a long time but there are a lot of How To Create posts going around so i thought i'd mention it! i have definitely given it to at least four people over the years.

Little Richard: I Am Everything (Magnolia)

How does one tell the story of an artist as influential as Little Richard? The same way you tell the story of the Universe, by keeping it simple: A long time ago there was the Big Bang. 

Little Richard: I Am Everything, a new documentary directed by Lisa Cortes, presents Little Richard’s existence as an analogous cosmic event. Rock ‘n’ roll as we know it exists because on December 5, 1932, Richard Penniman was born in Macon, Georgia.

Cortes isn’t the first to frame Little Richard in terms of cosmic energy. As Nick Tosches once put it, “[v]ia his pure white-energy raunch and total over-simplification, [Little Richard had] the power to make people say 'fuck it' and turn their backs on their own control conditioning and just go out and debauch and catch a glimpse of the violent, drunken, loving, dancing Universe.” I Am Everything is similarly reverential, but the power of the film stems from its focus on Little Richard’s strange, conflicted human experience. 

Growing up, Little Richard, as he would later be nicknamed, was scolded in church for singing too loud — an impressive feat for a Pentecostal. He exuded a preacher’s charisma and even as a young boy parishioners asked him to pray for them. When he started playing piano, he banged on the keys the way that Sister Rosetta Tharpe, an early influence, banged on her guitar. The idea, Little Richard said, was to drum away at your instrument until you reached “the peak.” 

The nature of that “peak,” would remain a lifelong tension. That erratic blurring of sexual and spiritual extasy, one of rock music’s central paradoxes, is what made his music both threatening and irresistible. 

Fans of Little Richard specifically and rock history in general are likely familiar with the raw information that I Am Everything offers. But in addition to the more expected talking heads —  Mick Jagger, John Waters, Billy Porter — some fresher contextualization comes from Black, queer academics and music historians. “The south is the home of all things queer” says writer and sociologist Zandria Robinson, and she means “queer” in every sense of the word. Homosexuality was illegal, as was drag (the maddeningly circular nature of culture emerges as one of I Am Everything’s subtler themes) but the edges of that reality were “soft.” Little Richard performed with minstrel shows and on the vaudeville circuit, sometimes appearing as Princess LaVonne. 

Like many raised in the church, Little Richard always suspected that rock ‘n’ roll was the Devil’s music. That persistent belief, Jagger notes, “can’t be much fun for those involved,” an observation that further emphasizes how heavy Little Richard’s baggage was in comparison to some of his imitators. 

In 1957, the story goes, Little Richard saw Sputnik in the night sky and interpreted it as a sign from God to repent. He enrolled in Bible school, hosted a buy-back/burning of his records, started making Gospel music, and married a woman. Over the course of his life, he would waffle between publicly denouncing homosexuality and embracing it. As one commentator puts it, “He was good at liberating other people by example, he was not good at liberating himself.” 

Little Richard didn’t come from nowhere: Artists like Billy Wright and Esquerita heavily informed his flamboyance. But it seems most everyone else came from him. Jimi Hendrix, of course, got his start in Little Richard’s band. The Beatles opened shows for him when, as he said, “only their mothers knew their names.” Paul McCartney developed his wild yelp by imitating Little Richard, and Jagger copped his stage moves. 

When Little Richard is given his due, he’s credited with inventing not only rock ‘n’ roll but helping to invent the teenager. Greil Marcus called it “Little Richard’s First Law of Youth Culture:  attracting kids by driving their parents up a wall.” As Waters puts it, “the first songs that you love that your parents hate are the beginning of the soundtrack to your life.” In a recent New Yorker profile Paul Schrader, another artist pulled between the spiritual and carnal, recalls his mother smashing the radio after catching him listening to rip-off artist Pat Boone. One imagines that if it had been Little Richard, she might have burned the house down. 

Eternally offered a kind of ambient credit by musicians and critics, the lion’s share of the specific attention (and money) is paid to the (often white) artists Little Richard inspired, or who arguable just straight up stole his shit. (In terms of respectful homage, there’s a chasm between McCartney’s “Long Tall Sally” and Boone’s “Tutti Frutti.”) It’s as if the man is at once too bright to look at directly, and too Black and queer and alien to fully acknowledge. 

He often made his rightful frustration known. In one clip, Little Richard and David Johansen, fully in his Buster Poindexter era, present the 1988 Grammy for Best New Artist. Little Richard, usually unpredictable on live TV, says of Johansen’s pompadour, “I used to wear my hair like that. They take everything I get. They take it from me.” He opens the envelope and declares himself the winner. It’s a joke but it isn’t. “I have never received nothing,” he continues. “Y’all ain’t never gave me no Grammy and I been singing for years. I am the architect of rock ‘n’ roll and they never gave me nothing. And I am the originator!” He gets a standing ovation, which is something, but it isn’t enough. 

Almost every review of the film mentions this moving, uncomfortable scene, because it teases out one of Little Richard’s most powerful realities. He didn’t always seem to know what he was supposed to be doing, or even who he should be, but he always knew what he was worth.

Timeless Elegance: Classic Interior Design Tips

Achieving timeless elegance in interior design involves blending classic elements with modern sensibilities to create spaces that exude sophistication and charm. One essential aspect of timeless elegance is focusing on quality over quantity. Invest in well-crafted furniture pieces with enduring designs, such as a Chesterfield sofa, a Louis XVI chair, or a Chippendale dining table. These timeless classics never go out of style and can serve as the foundation of your decor for years to come.

Another key principle of classic interior design is paying attention to symmetry and balance. Arrange furniture and decor in a symmetrical layout to create a sense of harmony and order in your space. Balance large-scale pieces with smaller accessories, and incorporate elements of symmetry through matching pairs of lamps, artwork, or accent chairs. This sense of balance fosters a feeling of elegance and refinement in the room.

Incorporating luxurious materials and finishes is essential for achieving timeless elegance. Opt for sumptuous fabrics such as silk, velvet, and damask for upholstery and window treatments. Choose rich, warm woods like mahogany, cherry, or walnut for furniture pieces, and add touches of opulence with metallic accents in gold, brass, or silver. These materials add depth, texture, and a sense of luxury to your decor, elevating the overall look of the space.

Finally, embrace classic color palettes that stand the test of time. Neutral tones such as cream, beige, taupe, and charcoal provide a sophisticated backdrop for timeless elegance. Introduce pops of color sparingly through accents like throw pillows, rugs, or artwork, opting for timeless hues such as navy blue, emerald green, or burgundy. By adhering to these classic interior design principles, you can create spaces that exude timeless elegance and never go out of style.

Dog collar-wearing woman says she escaped captivity at Missouri home

"You have to help me, I’ve been raped. I’ve been held captive,” a neighbor who responded to a knock on her front door said the woman pleaded. A man who lives nearby is jailed, authorities said.

By Tim Stelloh

A woman who said she’d been held captive and raped in a Missouri home was wearing a dog collar and appeared to have been bound when she started banging on doors and pleading for help last week, neighbors said Monday.

Ciara Tharp and Lisa Johnson spoke to NBC affiliate KSHB of Kansas City three days after Timothy Haslett Jr. was taken into custody on charges of rape, kidnapping and assault in Excelsior Springs, 28 miles northeast of Missouri’s most populous city, the Clay County Sheriff's office said in a statement.

The woman reported the allegations to authorities at 7:47 a.m. Friday, the sheriff’s office said.

Dog collar-wearing woman says she escaped captivity at Missouri home

A woman who said she’d been held captive and raped in a Missouri home was wearing a dog collar and appeared to have been bound when she started banging on doors and pleading for help last week, neighbors said Monday.

Ciara Tharp and Lisa Johnson spoke to NBC affiliate KSHB of Kansas City three days after Timothy Haslett Jr. was taken into custody on charges of rape, kidnapping and assault in Excelsior Springs, 28 miles northeast of Missouri’s most populous city, the Clay County Sheriff’s office said in a statement.

The woman reported the allegations to authorities at 7:47 a.m. Friday, the sheriff’s office said.

Minutes before, Johnson saw the woman hunched over and appearing to crawl up her front steps, asking for help, the station reported. Johnson noticed the dog collar — it looked like a homemade shock collar — and ligature marks around her wrists and ankles, according to the station.

When Johnson grabbed the phone to call 911, the woman ran away, saying the man who’d held her captive would kill them both, according to the station.

Tharp said her grandmother, who lives next door, heard a woman knocking on the door, saying: “‘You have to help me, I’ve been raped. I’ve been held captive,” KSHB reported.

The woman appeared thin, weak and barely clothed, with ligature marks, a metal dog collar and what appeared to be duct tape hanging from her neck, as if it had been pulled down from her mouth, Tharp told the station.

Tharp’s grandmother took her in and provided food, water and a blanket, the station reported. The woman told the grandmother that she’d been held in the basement since last month and that she escaped after her captor left the house Friday morning, KSHB reported.

The sheriff’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. It wasn’t immediately clear whether Haslett has a lawyer to speak on his behalf.

Haslett was taken into custody after authorities searched his home and the Kansas City police crime scene investigators processed the scene, the sheriff’s office said.
