As a Pacific Northwest gardener I was unironically prepared to read more about the bamboo problem

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5. He’s been taken by ICE in Florida. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/16/s...

I wish another author would have the same ideas as me. I get asked “what are the comps for this title” and I have absolutely zero examples

New design drop for Auntie Pho Also my shop is in the midst of a sale including the new drop!

Tried to go caffeine-free this morning. That lasted all of 45 minutes.

Some of my journalist income goes regularly to my local outlets @lataco.bsky.social, @lapublicpress.bsky.social, @pbs.org SoCal, and even my former employer @laist.com. Think about supporting your local public and independent media too so it's not just the same few journalism dollars going around!

So is the stock market crashing tomorrow? The reddit stock nerds all seem really nervous

Harley and Ivy issue 2 FOC is 11/17/2025! That's Monday!

Oh god this one hurts

I try to read all the Booker winners, so I am in the middle of this year's (Flesh) right now. It's decently well-written, but if it is the last word on masculinity (total lack of interiority, driven solely by sexual impulses that cannot be explained or controlled) then masculinity is in real trouble

My favourite year for oppressed literary masculinity was 2023 when the number of women on the Booker shortlist was smaller than the number of men named Paul

Jacob Elordi is averaging 2 Victorian antiheroes per month right now

The infamous flashback trauma

It's sickening how many sports betting ads you see before and during games. Everything will be rigged before long. Poisons the whole idea of sport.

In the last chapter of Alice’s memoir, “Year of the Tiger,” she wrote her own future obituary. The wonderful “oracle, storyteller, cyborg, trouble-maker, activist, night owl” we loved so much closed it with: “Enjoy all of Alice’s good shit, and may you create some good shit as well.”

Oh no. Oh no.

Progress update re: the acanthus rhizome I proplifted from a clump growing along the sidewalk in front of an abandoned house. The house is now slated to be demolished and I kind of wish I'd taken a whole-ass plant. But I'm invested in this little dude now. Blackberry canes to keep squirrels out.

Alex Garland does good stuff, but every time I see one of his movies I think "I've had about enough of you"

It is 1998. I am at the kitchen table writing Batman fanfic but I keep getting distracted by breaking news about a Bill Clinton sex scandal It is 2025. I am at the kitchen table writing a canonical Bat-book but I keep getting distracted by breaking news about a Bill Clinton sex scandal

You know who has Universal Healthcare provided by the government? Folks in Argentina do and the US taxpayers sent them $40 Billion Dollars so they can keep it. How are your premiums doing?

Having been involved as an expert witness in three documentary proof of citizenship cases I expect DHS will find there are 1,000s of naturalized citizens who haven't updated their drivers' license citizenship status but they'll claim they are noncitizens

In addition to being unqualified and inept, these people are also completely ridiculous.

This is so cool. Citations down-thread.

This is super bad for US citizens, especially on the left of the spectrum. Gives this authoritarian administration potentially the power to surveil & go after US citizens on spurious "funding of FTO" grounds. This whole antifa boogeyman is being fully weaponized. So dangerous.

TIL that Japan has a population of large, aggressive brown bears. Somehow I assumed that--being an island nation--they didn't have any large land predators, and/or any large land predators that might have been stranded there post-Ice Age were wiped out (like the bears+wolves of Britain).

ICYMI! Reading 2025 fiction? Try the short story "Butterfly Pavilion" by G. Willow Wilson @gwillow.me! You can read it here! buff.ly/0GbfBtn

So why not have a September-May schedule? Why start in JULY?! This is precisely what I do not understand.

Wowwwww

I cannot be normal in front of a camera or a microphone. I become an unholy hybrid of Niles Crane and a yeti. How are the Youth doing all this video content. Where does the confidence come from

"Hey my guy, let's get together and do some morally repugnant crimes across several jurisdictions!" "Hold on, let me hop on my burner email account, which has my full name in it, and which I am CCing you from this, my official email account"

They bid thee crop a weed

This issue was the best parts of Fables mixed with not having to think about the politics of the author of Fables

I think the Seattle Freeze is actually just residual Scandinavian influence. My work cafe is packed today and I am crammed into an 18" x18" space at a communal table w a bunch of strangers. The understood protocol is 30 seconds of cheerful pleasantries and then silent work lol

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

I mostly do not miss the East Coast, except when I find out Peter Dinklage and Sandra Oh starred in Twelfth Night at Shakespeare in the Park, which New Yorkers could go see for FREE

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

If the #PoisonIvy Annual is any indication of the monthly book’s quality - I’ve got a new title on my pick list! @gwillow.me crafts a deeply human tale as Pamela learns the truth of her struggle against humanity with Buckingham and Loughridge delivering some truly enchanting art…

It is November 11 but we haven’t had a frost yet in Seattle so I am still out here harvesting radishes
