Recits Francophones au Coeur de l'Amerique @recitsfrancophones.bsky.social

At times, an individual stumbles on something special/unique at a moment propice--an acting role, an invention, a song, etc. I read KC a while back. It was just a New York bloke writing about his life and cooking--unvarnished, frank, and authentic. It was the one of a million sperms hitting the egg!

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump AGAIN calls for Senator Chuck Grassley and other Republicans to stop abiding by the “Blue Slip” tradition, which have allowed a MASSIVE delay on Trump’s nominees. “‘Blue Slips’ need to go, bad for the Republican Party, and our Country!”

Sitting still scares the shit out of me! If I am not around other people, I feel alone and I dont like crowds. I always feel like the only thing that I can do to slow my brain down. The ways to do that are not good for me or people close to me. It is terrible to live like this! I can't work 24/7

I believe it. He commented that he was so lonely even traveling everywhere & meeting people, being with his crew. He was such an amazing interviewer. I'm so sorry for how he felt. I never missed a show. His book, Kitchen Confidential was such an interesting read.

Rewatched earlier seasons of Archer recently. In the ep with Bourdain basically playing himself he has a line “if you can’t turn that into promo gold then you should honestly consider suicide.” Hilarious episode, and Bourdain loved doing it, but this line hit me.

Yeah. Having had it myself, I think part of what happens with people like this is they twist themselves into fantastic shapes, to avoid the pain of their condition. And it turns out, sometimes, as in Bourdain's case, those shapes can be beautiful and useful.
