Feeling astronomically lucky today. The universe is 13.8 billion years old. Our sun, 4.6 billion. The earth, 4.54 billion, give or take 50 million. Years upon years upon years upon years, and I got to live several decades overlapping the time of Tim Curry.

That last Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds album, Wild Gods, keeps sneaking up on me and walloping my head and heart with its sweeping lyrical vision. Which is to say, I really like it.

Norwegian data: 98% more doctor visits for memory problems and 150% more for concentration problems than the trend before the pandemic.
At the same time, an enormous increase in prescribed heart medications. Even in Sweden.
Precisely the things we know COVID infections cause. Why don't we want to see the connection?

Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work" is such a timeless, beautiful, devastating song. It's a brilliant piece that collapses time and feels everything, holds it all even as it all falls away.

More Palestinians have been killed (1,300) since the so-called ceasefire began in Gaza on 10th October 2025 than Israelis were killed on 7th October 2023 - including ten times as many children (300!) as were killed on 10/7. This is what a 'ceasefire' looks like for Palestinians.

I'm so awkward that sometimes I catch myself leaning into my awkwardness as if it were a social asset, which it can sometimes be, though probably not when it crosses into intention. There I go again.

Drove a couple hours to a spot with a reputation for great Milky Way views last night. But a city just to the south filled the sky with lights. Still, we could see the Milky Way pretty well. More importantly, we caught several meteors, including a big slow one with a long, massive plume behind it.

Every now and then people point out the double standard--that journalists shredded Biden over far less than we see from Trump's decline every day--but for the most part it feels like we all just accept that, yeah, the standards don't apply to him at all.

Old dog relearning old tricks: I'm trying to find my way back into the world of flash fiction by publishing in online literary journals I admire. From about 2000 to 2012, I probably averaged around four or five such publications per year--eight one year, two or three the next. I slowed down over...

I really want to develop a new quarterly online literary journal. It will be both distinct and intellectually and aesthetically coherent. A "writer's" venue. But the cost of doing business is a bit higher than I want to pay. Web hosting and site design sites run around $300 per year. Yikes.

If these billionaires knew what's good for them, they'd tell their pathetic enablers to shut the hell up and leave a sliver of the pie left to fund an adequate social safety net. They don't seem to get that they've crossed into Marie Antoinette territory, but there's a way back for them.

The Trump administration is trying to gut one of the strongest laws protecting tribal sacred sites, burial grounds, and ancestral lands. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act has worked since 1966. Now a handpicked Council voted to rewrite it..in one week. Here's what at stake.👇

Among the reasons to feel good about being a Packers fan (community owned, smallest pro sports market, many championships), here's another: Zach Bako-Bewele has officially changed his name from Zach Tom. No small thing. Much respect to this young man for finding his true name and making it known.

Creative writers and English majors in academia: Do our friends who teach literature over-index their reverence for the classic and canonical works they teach or once studied to the point that they, these friends of ours, habitually patronize you and hold a diminished regard for your work?

Is there a way to get the Bluesky algorithm to show a cross section of accounts I follow instead of firehosing posts from half a dozen accounts that I might have liked or interacted with a little? Just because I like a couple things from one account doesn't mean I'm asking to see only that one.

I've read and heard a lot of good writing advice over the years, and possibly given a little, too, and none of it has ever given me a single reliable shortcut for the hard work of walking the story, the poem, the essay, the thing, and myself through a series of long, dark nights of the soul.

Here's a pressing issue that literally no one ever talks about: the dessert we call "cake" should have a much higher ratio of frosting to cake. In fact, we should change the term to "frosted cake" or even just "frosting." There, I said it.
