My roommate texted me to ask if I had ever been to @redbaycoffee in Oakland. “I see they have your favorite author on a postcard of theirs.” This was my reply.

I have this in the second image’s AltText, but here is what I wrote.
Oh, god. I’m hearing his coffee order in James Baldwin’s voice:
“I suppose, when submitting an order, one should consider the latte. It is a drink which brings to mind, as far as one can tell, a sense of purpose coupled with tranquility. In other words - a delight.
One can add sugar, to match whimsy or fashion, to satisfy the individual on a personal level. It’s this consideration which I ponder here today. It’s this which shapes my opinion into decision, and action after that...
It’s this which I will find myself ordering tomorrow morning once more.
I’ll also have a scone.”
