The prose in Angel Down by @danielkraus.com is so good I want to eat it with a goddamned spoon. Reading it right after Lincoln in the Bardo was a great choice. And excited a beta reader for a recent piece of mine called out my inspo 😅

my cynical take is any science focused on "artificial wombs" is inevitably going to be used to further marginalize and diminish women. Major side at at "getting rid of the need for eggs and wombs." I do not trust the powers that be with this stuff 😒

I will never go ad-free for podcasts because the experience of hearing Sister Helen Prejean talking about the indignity of state-sanctioned murder and then going straight into 30 seconds on Taco Bell's value menu is sublime comedy at its best

important reminder we don't actually know exactly how general anesthesia works but one theory is something called "cognitive unbinding". anyways have a great surgery

My brother…have you met Christ?

MARXIST POPE is incredible. Do they not understand who the Pope is? Do they not understand Karl Marx? Of course the answer is both but I love it all the same. Need a dad hat for summer with “WOKE MARXIST POPE” embroidered on it. Woke Marxist Pope summer is the new Brat Summer.
