Your boy is at New York Comic Con signing signing books! The Devil in Silver, specifically but if you’ve got something else I’ll sign that, too. If you’re here, I get going from 5:30-6:15 at the Penguin Random House booth.

it's been a year since my dad died and he's appeared in 2 dreams, where he's been just as much of a difficult ass as he was in life.

my adult son is outside pumping a tire on the car and I have heard at least three men come out to chat with him about it. Some man signal has activated that I know nothing about

Gendered violence is a systemic cultural and societal problem. And when one of these cases boils to the top, you can see that in how many survivors come forward to explain how similar their experiences are, in ways both big and small.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

This Nikole Hannah-Jones discourse has jumped the shark. What was supposed to be a vulnerable story about a Black family navigating the public education system became an indictment of NHJ’s parenting and, I can’t go for that. No can do.

it’s a precarious thing to publish writing about parenting (&, thus, your children). especially when they’re teens. they can engage the text and consent to or veto certain content. but they don’t yet understand the longterm implications of publication. and neither does the parent, tbh.

I will say, as someone born in 1979, who was latchkey from age 8, never had homework checked, flamed out academically from 6th-11th grade & got myself on track just long enough to be admitted to college… some attitudes re:the role of the schools in children’s’ education are generational & familial.

(this was a lot: I listened to Najya pour out her distress, then told her sympathetically but firmly that she had made her decision, that life was never going to be easy and that successful people do not give up when things get hard. She’d have to stay.)

I was thinking about the last professor I had at undergrad and I want everyone to know about him. He whacked me on the head so hard and was across the gym yelling "come on, come on" before I could register what had happened. 💜

okay we saw a spotted ratfish and it's JUST AS WEIRD as it sounds. And if you look it up, it's crazy. "Cephalic tentaculum." Males tiny vs. Big females. Crazy blue-green eyes. Poison spine. This fish has everything.

spotted ratfish washed up on a PNW beach. It has a long tail and enormous blue green eyes.

view of the mouth, which is madness. Its closest relatives are rays and sharks. It can hang out at depths of up to 3K feet.

A story about an Eel
A woman was once passing by Letterloc Lake, Letterloc, Newport, Co Mayo, and she was attacked by a great big eel which was lying in the reeds by the lake shore. This woman was wearing a bright red flannel petticoat. She ran from the eel and the eel used to put its tail in its mouth and jump and in this way he kept up with the woman. The eel was just closing up on the woman when the flannel petticoat became unloosed. The eel at once attacked it and flittered it to pieces. Then it fell asleep on the pieces of the petticoat. The woman met some men to whom she told her story and she directed them to the place. They found the eel fast asleep and they killed it.
