one more cab calloway thing: he performed "minnie the moocher" in blues brothers, which was a 1931 song in a 1980 movie, the modern equivalent would be aerosmith performing "back in the saddle" in a movie released this year, you're all welcome

When I turned 30 I had not yet written my first published book or my first published novel and did not know (or know of) some of the most important people in my life. I didn't know how much my life could still change, and did, after the age of 30. There is so much your life still yet to live.

the fatal flaw with the Bluesky is dying proposition is that it ignores the broader truth that I am also dying, as are you, and everybody you know. By dying Bluesky lets us know that it’s one of us, that it shares in our beauty and our pain. Grow or die? No, there is no “or.” Bluesky understands

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Late evening of work in Pompeii yesterday but the reward of an empty site bathed in glorious warm light was a privilege.

View down the via di Mercurio towards the arch of Caligula and the forum beyond. The sky above the Lattari hills glows a soft hazy yellowy orangey

Donald Trump is an extremely stupid man with very few real policy preferences who has simply done what mainstream conservatives have wanted 80-90% of the time since he has entered politics. They have wanted to bomb Iran. He bombed Iran. Pretty straightforward.

I (seasonally) travel for work and I recently went down to Zebulon, Georgia. I’ve made it a goal to visit local coffee shops + bookstores when I can, and today I got to visit the absolutely adorable used bookstore A Novel Experience. The staff was incredible and I loved their displays!

Corner of a bookstore with coffee and a kitchen. Sign on back wall reads “Support Deficit Reformation: Buy Used Books”

Table display of several books about Georgia

Table display of several books, including Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States.”

Sticker that reads “A Novel Experience” around the outside. Center of sticker has a book, quill pin, and reads “Zebulon, GA”

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless
