For the Old Heads

I copyedited this book and it absolutely RULES, preorder like the wind!!

Sad to read that G.G. Santiago, creator of “Rainbow Brite,” has died. Her obit is quite moving. ♥️ www.billingsfuneralhome.com/obituaries/g...

Ordered some free whistles from these guys today and NINE HOURS LATER received a notification that they were being packed and shipped. Incredible work.

Evening sunlight returns in ten days

Anyone else just hear this lyric banging around their heads all the time these days

thought you probably needed to see this

Tune in if only to experience for yourself how PRETTY @tekla.bsky.social is (respectfully!!!)

“It’s a vaccination against fascism. And we all love a vaccine, especially when it’s also a party.” — @tekla.bsky.social

What I like about this video is it shows how all cats, including wild cats, are dignified and aloof.

whoops

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

This is an extremely charming account of someone who did not grow up sledding taking the opportunity of today's blizzard to go sledding with kids in New York City. Tomorrow I am gonna lend @jessyedwards.bsky.social my copy of Ethan Frome. hellgatenyc.com/can-i-borrow...

"Fun fact" is shitposter for "memento mori"

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

maximum respect for this realness

Update from crumbling socialist hellscape NYC

Central Park right now is a good fuckin time, y'all

Brooklyn 8:37 PM

To the blizzard: why are you doing this? What do you want to achieve with this behavior?

Jesus. Heads up, NYC!

Oh this is a very fun thread!

How wonderful, the snow has finally melted down enough that I can see parts of the yard! Now to take a nice sip of hot coffee while I read this weekend weather report

This is an extremely good story about whistles and a person who is trying everything she can to help her neighbors 👇

"So on a scale of 1–10, with 10 being 'to the roote,' how perced would you say you're feeling this morning"

this is solidarity. this is beautiful 💖

douglas adams was our most accurate futurist

This piece from @youngmimayer.bsky.social had me in *shambles* youngmimayer.substack.com/p/soon-yi-pr...

Brilliant analysis of an iconic scene from CASABLANCA with too much contemporary relevance. “The Germans are but one small enclave, finding themselves within a community that’s filled with less traditional power but greater numbers and far superior zeal.”

I think about how when they sang La Marseillaise they were still in the midst of a war they did not know they were going to win.

Was not counting on being moved by any "Infinite Jest"-at-30 essays. And but then @pauline2k.bsky.social performed a tour de force of reparative reading. This is so lovely! www.oaklandreviewofbooks.org/infinity-plu...

Hey a very great maker of plastic for 3d printers has set up a thing where you pay $20 and they ship a spool of filament to members of our printing crew. One spool makes 500 whistles or more. Help out! proto-pasta.com/products/the...

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

7 that I generally avoid, but the only ones I've never enjoyed in any preparation or context are olives and black licorice (I'm pretty sure I've never had liver)

People! Always making little guys :)

Post a tree you photographed

Deeply confused by this subway ad art.

No, seriously--shake your couch cushions, see what you can give. If you're not in Minneapolis or another place currently under siege, this is an easy thing you can do to help. You got this. Let's do this.

I'm not... unintrigued? Look at that absolute adolescent fever dream of a dress!
