White Mist

A ridiculously clean, vibrant version of the variety, which–as usual with Sauvignon Blanc–causes me to ponder the oft-levied question: How much alleged varietal-correctness (we have somewhat erroniously learned to accept) is required in a sauv-blanc before it’s just a “nice, smooth, beautiful, white wine”? This all goes back–of course–to a *gathering* of accepted pyrazine nuances the common…

Where to Find Memento Mori (Updated 9/11/2024)

On August 13, two days before 광복절 (Korean National Liberation Day), my debut novel was released. The book is about Korean-American family, and also about Greek mythology, and I promise this combination makes sense in the end. (For those who are curious, I wrote an uncharacteristically personal guest post for Women's Writers, Women's Books on the topic of what inspired me to write a Eurydice and Orpheus retelling about my Korean grandmother.)

It was surreal to go to a store the other day and see it on a table next to Salman Rushdie and other acclaimed writers. After 13 years of this story existing in some form, I'm so excited that this book is finally out—both because it is a beautiful book that I am proud of and that I hope you enjoy, and also because I would love to stop being my own publicist (it is VERY awkward).

So here is an omnibus post of book-related info that I will keep updated and pinned going forward to finally give the memento mori tag a rest. Below the cut, you will find a running list of indie bookstores and public libraries that I know carry my book. (If you have a New York Public Library card and have 5 minutes, I will love you forever if you would email your local branch to ask them to carry my book, thus fulfilling my lifelong dream of living in the NYPL.)

Also below are a few upcoming events at which I have been invited to speak!

[lboogie1906]

Dr. Ida Louise Jackson (October 12, 1902 – March 8, 1996) was an educator and philanthropist. She graduated from the UC Berkeley. As one of 17 African American students, she prioritized creating safe spaces for African American community members. She was invested in a teaching career, specifically in Oakland. She became the first African American woman to teach high school in the state of California. Her ambitions were rooted in giving back to her community in Mississippi. She returned to her home state in 1935 to develop programs around education and health care for poor, rural African Americans. Her contributions were celebrated by UC Berkeley, which named their first graduate apartment housing unit in her honor.

She was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi. She was the daughter of Pompey Jackson and Nellie Jackson. Her father was a pastor and farmer. Her mother was born in New Orleans. She was one of eight children but was the youngest child and their only girl.

She worked to bring the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority to campus. She co-founded the Rho Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. She earned a BA in Education, Vocational Guidance, and Counseling. She applied for a teaching position in the Oakland Public Schools, only to be told by the administration that she was still not qualified. She earned an MA from UC Berkeley.

She furthered her studies at Columbia University pursuing an Ed.D. She returned to Berkeley to seek the Administrative Credential to be certified by the State of California as a School Administrator. By 1936, she was certified.

In 1934, She became the national Alpha Kappa Alpha president. She co-founded and became general director of the Mississippi Health Project. She served as the Dean of Women at the Tuskegee Institute (1937-38). She was involved in the NAACP, the YWCA, and the National Council of Negro Women. She returned to McClymonds High School where she taught until her retirement in 1953. She transitioned to running her family’s sheep ranch in Mendocino County. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #alphakappaalpha

FLP CHAPBOOK OF THE DAY: AGE BRINGS THEM HOME TO ME by windflower

On SALE now! Pre-order Price Guarantee: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/age-brings-them-home-to-me-by-windflower/

windflower lives on the beautiful California Mendocino Coast with her wife, border collie and mini aussie, on unceded ancestral land of the Pomo people. She co-founded the Feminist Arts Program at the University of Massachusetts Women’s Center where she published and edited, Chomo Uri, a women’s multi-arts magazine and produced the first National Women’s Poetry Festival in 1976. Her poetry has been published in numerous journals and anthologies, including international publications.

windflower is also a photographer celebrating the #poetry in #nature.

PRAISE FOR AGE BRINGS THEM HOME TO ME by windflower

This is a beautiful book, written by a contemplative and generous poet with a musician’s ear and a photographer’s eye. The metaphors sprinkled throughout—“Tiny tongues of sand,” “moist chiffon of fog,” “lips of clothespins,” “skirt of the ocean.”—all add up to a rich and sensual reading experience. The sound and rhythm of lines such as “Make me your summer lullaby” and “our waterbed a boat in its own warm harbor” beg to be read aloud and simply made me swoon. In the last section of the book, the poems widen into a provocative and intelligent exploration of social justice; the poem, “My First History Lesson” alone is worth the price of admission. This book is both soothing and exciting and these poems will stay with me for a very long time. All in all, a very profound reading experience.

–Lesléa Newman, author of the dual memoir-in-verse, I Carry My Mother and I Wish My Father

Here is a book about loss and connection – written with the power and imagination of an accomplished poet who invests the feminine spirit with love, power, grace and redemption. She traces love from the blue found in her grandmother’s hands through the wisps of blue that brush across the sky and lands in the cornflower color of her wife’s eyes.

Here is a woman who has found a cathedral in nature that blesses her with endless images: beauty, joy, pain, and love with a depth that illumines all parts of the poet’s life and yet at the climax, skillfully brings us into the crushing tragedy of the murder of three civil rights workers.

Here is a poet who follows a path of vowels and consonants down to the ocean, who won’t let hope slip away with the king tides: It is the women who look up at the sky and see their children nestled in the moon. It is the women who hem the skirt of the ocean.

–Elizabeth Kirkpatrick-Vrenios, author of Special Delivery and Empty the Ocean with a Thimble

NEW PLAYLIST: WAITING FOR THE SUN

In 1996, St. Martin's Press published a book called Waiting For The Sun by a British writer named Barney Hoskyns. The book is the single best history I've ever read about the California music scene. It spans 50 years, and covers everything from the Jazz of the 1940s to the Hip-Hop of the 90s. But the major portion of the book focuses on the Rock and Pop scenes of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s.

I enjoyed the book so much that I put together a 90 minute mix tape of music discussed in the book. A couple of years later, with a CD burner handy, I expanded the original to a double CD that featured 38 tracks, and more than 150 minutes of music. I was so happy with the result that I wrote a letter to Rhino Records and proposed they issue a boxed set based on the book in co-operation with the author. I even sent them my track list as a starting point. Of course I never heard from them, and my hopes for a boxed set were dashed.

Here we are a couple of decades later, and we have playlists, and streaming services available. So, I thought I'd share with you the best mix tape / burned CD set I ever made. I still think Rhino missed an opportunity. See if you agree. After you listen to it, you really should read the book. It's the cheapest ticket you'll ever find for that West Coast trip you always dreamed of taking.

Here's the track list, and it should be listened to in the order given here. I spent almost as much time sequencing it as I did picking the songs - all of which spotlight some aspect, and some of the history of the Golden State.

in the fearsome critters database there’s one critter named the boont. i’ve been trying to find any stories of it at all and nothing is coming up, i’m wondering if it even is a classic fearsome critter or if it’s a more recent invention. in the database there’s no hyperlink to more about it and none of the books in its library mention it.

only a short article comes up for the boont, claiming it originates from the californian town of boonville in mendocino county, california. it’s a mascot for a local brewing company too, anderson valley brewing, which is why i’m thinking it’s a more recent tale and that the whole thing, the history of it, was constructed to promote the company, but they don’t call it the boont. they call it the beer (because bear + deer = beer ahaha).

boont also refers to the distinct language/dialect of the town of boonville, called boontling, and the town itself. this kinda dilutes a lot of the search results i’m getting.

looking up “antlered bear mendocino county” brings up the tourism website for the county. there’s a page that talks about a deer/bear hybrid creature, but they’re just talking about the funny little story behind the origins of the boonville beer festival and specifically referring to that company mascot from earlier.

anderson valley brewing has a page on the lore of the creature, claiming there was an interaction with it in 1861 but it doesn’t elaborate. the whole page is also full of jokes. this isn’t a reliable source on the creature’s mythology.

i’m not even sure where folks on the internet got the name “boont” for it. there’s nothing i’ve found that says “boont” has ever historically referred to a fabled antlered bear. HOWEVER, the anderson brewing co has an ale named boont amber ale. boont in giant bold letters. i’m thinking maybe someone who was unfamiliar with boonville - of which there’s probably plenty of people since the town is pretty isolated - who was unaware that boont in this context likely referred to the town, probably equated boont to the giant picture of the antlered bear mascot on the can.

i don’t think the “boont” is truly a classic fearsome critter as they were known in the tales told in the early 20th century logging industry. i think some people got mixed up, a company’s world building for their mascot was taken at face value, and the boont was born.

if y’all have any sources at all that can disprove that theory - sources that originate before the company was founded in 1987, about an antlered bear that lives in northern california, please send em over. i love cryptids, fearsome critters, folk tales, and if this actually has history aside from being a beer mascot i’d absolutely love to know.

OMG so lovely. The beautiful, crisp decadence of a ridiculously structured white Rhone. From Alder Springs, of course. Just stunningly bitter and butter and beset with all the things you look for in a wine that isn’t Chardonnay. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. A blend of gold only 12% Viognier for that pure Marsanne and Roussanne expression. A more perfect wine could not be imagined…

HALL Wines, St. Helena (No. 1)

Since first working in her family’s Mendocino vineyards, Kathryn Hall dreamed of a place to showcase fine wines alongside expressive art and masterful architecture. Now, Kathryn and Craig Hall are creating an unrivalled destination in the Napa Valley - where winemaking excellence and innovation meets contemporary design to celebrate life and inspire the senses.

The Halls acquired the historic St. Helena Bergfeld Winery in 2003 and re-opened as HALL St. Helena in July of that year. With a rich history spanning 150 years, HALL St. Helena’s location was once the home of the Napa Valley Co-Op, producing 40% of Napa Valley’s wines.  In 2013, The Hall family completed the restoration of the 1885 Bergfeld Winery and merged history and innovation with the completion of California’s first LEED® Gold Certified winery, in addition to a stunning Visitor Center and state-of-the-art gravity flow winemaking facility.

Konopie indyjskie i energia z PV. Amerykański przykład jak optymalizować biznes.

Amerykanie, którzy uprawiają konopie indyjskie optymalizują koszty stałe prowadzenia przedsiębiorstwa inwestując we własne źródło wytwarzania energii – fotowoltaikę, która jest kluczowa dla ich biznesu.

Pod koniec lat 70. w hrabstwie Mendocino w Kalifornii nastąpił gwałtowny wzrost upraw konopi indyjskich i wykorzystywania w tym celu energii elektrycznej produkowanej przez off-grid`owe instalacje fotowoltaiczne. Cztery dekady temu uprawa konopi indyjskich w Kalifornii była nielegalna, więc cała działalność musiała być utrzymana w pełnej konspiracji.

33 stany zalegalizowały medyczną marihuanę

Obecnie w USA 33 stany zalegalizowały medyczną marihuanę, a 10 stanów i dystrykt Kolumbia dopuszcza zażywanie marihuany do celów rekreacyjnych. Popyt na wysokiej jakości marihuanę wiążę się ze zwiększonym zapotrzebowaniem na energię elektryczną, co obciąża kosztowo producentów i sieć publiczną. Fotowoltaika wspiera przedsiębiorców uprawiających konopie indyjskie, obniżając rachunki za prąd i przyczyniając się do bardziej ekologicznej uprawy.

3 etapy uprawy konopi

Siew nasion, roślinność i okres kwitnienia. Nasiona po zasianiu zanim pojawią się łodygi i liście potrzebują naświetlania przez 24h przez maksymalnie cztery tygodnie. Po pojawieniu się łodyg i liści uprawa potrzebuję naświetlania przez 18h, żeby przejść do ostatniego etapu tj. kwitnienia. W trakcie ostatniego etapu kwiaty muszą być naświetlane przez zaledwie 12h każdego dnia. Po 60 dniach okresu kwitnienia rośliny są gotowe do zbioru. Sztuczne światło wykorzystywane w większym stopniu w uprawach w szklarniach i pomieszczeniach wytwarza dużo ciepła, które jest regulowane przez systemy HVAC. Ponadto konopie indyjskie podczas wzrostu wydzielają parę wodną, która może być przyczyną pojawienia się niszczącej uprawy pleśni. Dlatego systemy osuszania to bardzo ważny element uprawy.  

Wysoka energochłonność uprawy konopi indyjskich.

Legalizacja marihuany w niektórych stanach Ameryki skłoniła niektórych inwestorów do upraw na zewnątrz. Jednak przedsiębiorcy częściej decydują się na uprawy w pomieszczeniach, żeby lepiej kontrolować specjale warunki niezbędne do uprawy konopi, optymalizować plony i jakość produktu końcowego. Wg różnych szacunków do uprawy tylko czterech sadzonek konopi indyjskich potrzeba równowartości energii potrzebnej do zasilenia aż 29 lodówek Side by Side. Żeby zapewnić optymalne warunki do wzrostu roślin inwestor musi korzystać z zaawansowanych systemów HVAC  w celu zachowania kontroli poziomu wilgotności, dwutlenku węgla i temperatury. Ponadto uprawa konopi indyjskich wymaga energii elektrycznej do zasilenia systemu nawadniania (pomp wodnych), wentylatorów, osuszaczy, urządzeń niezbędnych do przetwarzania surowca, jak również do zasilenia sprzętu biurowego i urządzeń do pakowania. Wszystkie te czynniki powodują, że koszty energii elektrycznej niezbędnej do uprawy są głównym kosztem dla każdego inwestora, co wpływa na rentowność inwestycji. Wg badań przeprowadzonych przez Evana Millsa w 2011 r., wyprodukowanie 1 kg marihuany wiąże się z emisją ok. 4600 kg CO2. Inne źródła szacują, że ta branża odpowiada za emisję ponad 15 milionów CO2 w skali roku.

Prąd z darmowej energii słonecznej wspiera uprawy konopi

Legalizacja uprawy konopi indyjskich w niektórych stanach Ameryki i zwiększony popyt na tę używkę wiązał się z zwiększonym popytem na energię elektryczną. Dlatego fotowoltaika w znacznym przyczyniła się do rozwoju tego segmentu biznesu ponieważ zapewniała plantatorom energię elektryczną z darmowej energii słonecznej przez cały okres uprawy. W stanach, w których uprawa konopi została zalegalizowana, lokalni dostawcy energii odczuli wzrost zapotrzebowania na energię elektryczną. Na przykład w ponad półmilionowym Denver, w stanie Kolorado aż 4% całkowitego zapotrzebowania na energię w mieście pochodziło z uprawy konopi. Wg przedsiębiorców zajmujących się uprawą konopi, uprawa na wolnym powietrzu wiąże się z około osiemnastokrotnie niższym zużyciem energii niższym zużyciem energii niż uprawa w pomieszczeniu. Jednak uprawa na zewnątrz oznacza niższą kontrolę nad temperaturą i wilgotnością, której nie można regulować. W związku z powyższym efekt końcowy czyli marihuana może być niższej jakości, co wpłynie na niższy popyt i niższe zyski. Wykorzystując fotowoltaikę do zasilania systemów oświetleniowych i HVAC, przedsiębiorcy znacznie obniżają rachunki za energię oraz zmniejszają emisje gazów cieplarnianych. Naturalna uprawa konopi zasilana przez bezemisyjne źródło energii.

Nowy trend w uprawie konopi - fotowoltaika z magazynem energii

Trendem, który w ostatnich latach jest obserwowany to integracja instalacji fotowoltaicznej z magazynami energii elektrycznej. Magazyny energii są nieocenione w przypadku zaniku zasilania i jednoczesnym utrzymaniu włączonych świateł. Bez wystarczającego oświetlenia rośliny zaczynają kwitnąć zbyt wcześnie, co wpływa na niższe zbiory a tym samym straty finansowe. Inną opcją, która jest wykorzystywana przez przedsiębiorców to wykorzystywanie magazynów energii w okresach szczytowego zapotrzebowania na energię, wówczas mogą zaoszczędzić na kosztowanych opłatach za zapotrzebowanie, które funkcjonują w USA i mogą stanowić od 30 do 70% rachunku za energię. Ponadto połączenie fotowoltaiki i magazynów energii jest potwierdzeniem prowadzenia zrównoważonej uprawy, co wpływa na pozytywne decyzję klientów końcowych.

Amerykańskie przykłady pokazują jak szerokie zastosowanie ma energia produkowana przez fotowoltaikę. Dzięki własnej mikroelektrowni fotowoltaicznej amerykański biznesmen maksymalizuje zyski ze sprzedaży wysokiej jakości marihuany ponieważ płaci zdecydowanie mniej za rachunki za energię elektryczną.

Tweety González cumple 40 años en la industria de la música y lo celebra con su primer disco solista

Twitin Club

Un disco de 10 canciones que navegan entre el rock, el trip-hop y el jazz compuesto entre 2017 y 2023 co-creado junto a artistas de distintos estilos.

El músico, productor, programador, arreglador, tecladista, melómano y nerd musical Fabián "Tweety" González, se dio el gusto de lanzar su propio disco de estudio tras cuatro décadas de trayectoria. 

El primer adelanto fue el instrumental “Jazzypop” en el que le rinde homenaje a la mítica sala porteña Jazz & Pop donde Tweety se forjó como músico profesional improvisando jazz al lado de los más grandes del género durante su adolescencia mientras paralelamente iba al colegio. 

El segundo adelanto fue "Una pregunta más” con un Lisandro Aristimuño rockero y en el que participa el cordobés Tuten Mapu que se destaca por mezclar folklore con música electrónica. 

Luego le siguieron los adelantos “Flasheando una cualquiera” junto a la poeta y actriz Maia Tarcic; “Caer” junto al músico y productor mendocino Leandro Lacerna sumado al flow de Big Buda y Kofke 117; y "Porro Viejo" junto a la compositora Gimena Alvarez Cela.

En palabras de Tweety:

"Este disco es la suma de todas mis influencias y es la suma de la experiencia de jugar por décadas con el estudio de grabación como un instrumento expresivo. Ojalá lo disfruten tanto como yo"
