So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

Running is great because you compete with yourself and also with everyone else and also with the Scottish granite quarry peasant genetic heritage you’ve inherited that has prevented you from becoming a twink who can rep out 6-minute miles in this book review about A Prayer for Owen Meany, I will—

The trope of elves and fairies receding like in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings are actually an expression of class consciousness as fin-de-siècle English gentry saw their wealth eroding around them. In this essay I will--

My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet

Kai Shaikh, a Ph.D. student in mathematics at the University of Toronto, also currently at SLMath, observed that theorems are easy to use as benchmarks, but that they capture little of the wonderment at the heart of math. "Just like a photograph of a mile marker can't provide much of the value of actually going on a hike," he said,
"it would seem to me that proofs without stories, or even stories without struggle or mystery, and first glimpses of strange beasts, are not very meaningful or valuable to us humans."

💯. Badly paraphrasing, but in an interview Karen Russell gave about her resurrected bog girl piece in NYer 10 years ago, she said that at a certain point you have to move beyond a mimetic recreation of “reality” to represent the truth of a situation. And the chokehold that interview has had on me—

I am so so so tickled that cemeteries like Graceland 1) receive Google reviews at all and 2) receive a star rating??!?!? This seems heavily biased toward the perspective of the LIVING!!!!

Fly with a book! 1.) You can keep your boarding pass inside it. 2.) Reading is hot. Throw on some big glasses as a treat. 3.) No tech necessary. 4.) Again - commit to the bit of being sexy and literate.
