I never read the accompanying story with recipes, but one. This one was worth it, and two. I NEED to make this cake.

AWWW MAN. I hate this so much. Eric Carle -- the beloved creator of that famously hungry caterpillar -- has died at the age of 91, according to his family. They released a statement saying he "passed away peacefully and surrounded by family members on May 23, 2021 at his summer studio in Northampton, Massachusetts."

Neda Ulaby's lovely obit is here, with links to interviews that Carle did with NPR over the past few years (check out Debbie Elliott's 2007 visit to his studio; it's delightful).

Now, if you'll pardon me, I'm going to drown my sorrows in one piece of chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon.

reasons to not quit writing:

your writing is a skill, not an inborn talent (unless, yeah, maybe it is). not everyone can do what you do and love

everyone says they want to write a book. everyone has what it takes to write a book. not everyone does it anyway. you be the small percentage of success you read about

your writing will always seem brickshit horrible because you wrote and read it a million times

you love this writing thingy. quitting it will be like cutting off your fingers one by one.

someone out there will want to read what you wrote.

someone out there wants to know what is on your mind. 

someone out there appreciates your art. they will share it with their friends. they will share it with their loved ones. they will share it with their future self because maybe what you wrote saved them.

if you give up now, you know you will just come back to it again, whether it’s years from now, months, or next week. you love writing, that’s why you planted the seed of thought that you are going to write this book, and whether you come back to it or not, your unwritten stories will come back to you.

Harry watched with terror and elation as Molly Weasley’s wand slashed and twisted, and Bellatrix Lestrange’s smile faltered and became a snarl. Jets of light flew from both wands, the floor around the witches’ feet became hot and cracked; both women were fighting to kill.

Be the person who stops the cycle of hate by not passing it on to someone else..Don’t become the person who wrecked you...Don’t be that person to either yourself or to someone else...Be the beautiful result of the ugly proces..

[stephrnoel]

Wow. I felt that.

I used to think, “Man, they’re so happy to be a mom.” Nah, it’s just the breastfeeding. It gives you a false sense of world domination and calm. Like, “I AM AN INVINCIBLE GODDESS. I GIVE LIFE,” but also, “ahhhh look how cute my little babies are.”
