One time I was at a bbq populated by my partner's coworkers and a 2-y/o I didn't know took my hand, led me into the house (not hers) and took me to the living room to show me what was under the coffee table. What was under the coffee table? A hedgehog.

They've spent these last few years calling anyone who is LGBTQ a "groomer," women who believe in reproductive rights "whores," public health officials "murderers," and anyone who doesn't think cops should be able to shoot you with impunity an antifa boogeyman. Now their feelings are hurt?

feel like all you nerds have alerts so already read this anyway, but here's a nudge we got that new-new Kyle Seibel today "Says he’s gonna get surgery next week when he stays at his dad’s. They’re gonna replace it with a robot arm, he’s pretty sure." https://www.havehashad.com/bjmjp

Joey from next door says he broke his arm skateboarding. Says he was trying to jump the creek. I ask him which creek and he says, uhhh that creek, the one over there. He points to a narrow spot…

Over on the ex-microblogging platform, a literary agent posted details of a query she liked the idea of but gave up after reading a few pages and publicly asked for a better writer to take the idea and pitch it to her instead. So that's a sign of a healthy industry, huh?

I think often about the fact that Ishiguro wrote the first draft in three weeks.

Stuck. There’s only one thing for it: reread The Remains of the Day.

Lambda has asked all incoming fellows for headshots in portrait orientation. What a way to learn all the ones I have are landscape.

I’ve been reading the fantastic Sorrowland by @riverssolomon.bsky.social and every night I’ve read it I’ve had a discomfiting Sorrowland dream. This really never happens to me so I’m taking it as yet another sign that this book is a powerhouse that I’ll be thinking about for the rest of my life.
