Took two walks today in the silent cold, bopped my ass off to great music on the drive, and saw a dog playing tag with a raven. It's been a great day here.

FYI, your library has movies you can check out for the holiday weekend. They may have toys, board games, or activity kits to check out for the kids and grandkids. The library is awesome and you should check it out.

I stayed up late last night to finish reading Weavingshaw, and I will be pre-ordering the sequel. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

At Interstellar Flight Mag, Julie Reeser interviews Vanessa Fogg, author of THE HOUSE OF ILLUSIONISTS, a stellar new short story collection from IFP! magazine.interstella...

My interview with Vanessa Fogg about her debut, The House of Illusionists, is up! "Speculative fiction allows me the distance, the disguise of the metaphorical [...] to write about things that would otherwise be too personal, too vulnerable, for me to write about." medium.com/interstellar...

I feel like run-on, pressured writing like this is great in very tiny doses. It's like caviar. You slip a spoonful in to give some salt and verve. This is like someone handed me a sloppy gutted fish. archive.is/h55cm

Today 5:30 in Powderhouse Square: Emergency rally for Tufts PhD student Rumeysa Ozturk, illegally abducted by ICE

For writing an OpEd in the student newspaper? Wow. 😮 Federal Government Detains International Student at #Tufts The university was told that the student’s visa had been terminated, its president said in a late-night email to students & faculty members. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/u...

glad someone smarter than me connected the dots - my inclination was that there was no way it was an accident that Hegseth had this guy's number. Atlantic pushes out unhinged pro-US imperialist propaganda on the daily and somehow the internet collectively forgot that for like 24 hours

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Hello, #BrusBookshop friends! Today’s word is: read

I've got a collection on the BSFA long list! historythatneverwas.com/2025/02/05/t...

Okay, pals. Time for action this month. We're going to do that by funding classrooms that are specifically seeking out Black history books. These classrooms are those that are in historically underfunded communities. These asks are from teachers whose students benefit directly.

return to me, at first sight, and autumn in new york all belong spiritually the the baboon heart genre, though their monkeys are largely unseen. baboon heart is an outlook, a point of view; we watch these movies through an ape’s eyes.
