You might like // a doc, a quote, a story

Welcome back & happy Tuesday night!

Hello friend! :)

I hope you’ve had a lovely week so far. I’ve been reading The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison and drinking my weight in LaCroix.

Here are three things I think you might like!

1. This 37-minute documentary, “BOOKSTORES.”

This genuinely might be the most encouraging 37 minutes you spend this year. If you have a huge backlog of unread books and a severe case of literary FOMO, I can’t recommend it enough. (I’ve seen it three times.)

2. This quote from Meditations.

“Do not because a thing is hard for you yourself to accomplish, imagine that it is humanly impossible: but if a thing is humanly possible and appropriate, consider it also to be within your own reach.”¹

3. And this micro-story I wrote :)

I’ve found a lot of joy lately in writing teeny, tiny stories - it’s a wonderful feeling to finish something. If you’d like to read Dripwater; or, Company & Company, you can download the PDF here. It’s almost as short as this newsletter!

And that’s it for today!

If you ended up liking any of these things, shoot me an email & let me know! And if not, hey - I said you might.

Cheers & happy Tuesday!

Tim
