Don’t think I will ever read a better writer genesis story than this one from Ray Bradbury. Pure magic. Live forever, Ray. You inspired me as well when I was 12.

happy back to school to everyone with collective synesthesia for notebook colors, except my childhood friend Jeff, who picked all black notebooks/folders and put them all in a black trapper keeper.

do you like climate short fiction? orcas ramming boats? relevant immigration commentary through a speculative lens? learning about very specific plumbing? 50s slang?

“…no one anticipated bottom dwelling ocean creatures in the plumbing.” Extremely honored to publish @catholicked.bsky.social today - this story grabbed me when I first read it and has only gotten more relevant and essential since. Take a break from the news and read it now - art is everything.

Why you should care: no more crabs, lobster, oysters, mussels. An acidic ocean means at some point shellfish struggle to make shells

She's been obsessed with bathrooms the whole time. You could rename every single HP book Harry Potter and the _______ Bathroom. It's like a main character/foil/plot point. For Every Book. Except maybe three and seven. OBSESSED.

The scaly-foot snail doesn’t bow to pressure—it thrives under it. Living in toxic hydrothermal vents, it armors itself with iron, turning the very forces that should destroy it into protection. That’s how you resist oppression—adapt, fortify, and endure. 🐌🔥 #MolluscMonday #Resist

If RFK wants to meaningfully decrease rates of depression, he can support paid family and maternity leave, equal pay for women, universal healthcare, and fully funded public schools. Stigmatizing medication that treats the mental impact of a country that devalues your existence won’t cut it.

*Probably* not a coincidence that she's the non-white, female mayor of a very liberal city, huh. Remember what happened with the presidents of Harvard, Princeton, and Penn? The odds that she is being asked there in good faith are... not high.

I've always felt that the advice for writers to thicken their skin was wrong. Writers, like all artists, need thin skin, to feel everything & everyone. They also need to know how to compartmentalize, which is what I think people *really* mean when they talk of how writers should have thick skin.

Thinking again about the trope of the emotionally closed man who shows love through his marksmanship and how disgusting this trope is. I can't love you, but I killed these people for you. I am a broken sociopath but my bullets say I love you each time I hit their heart.

around 42% of all marriages end in divorce. that is a very high regret rate for people committing to life changing decisions. the state should do something, ultimately we should ban marriage entirely

I pass this billboard a lot and recite this entire scene to myself every time.
top image of a billboard advertising the performance of a psychic medium "Matt Fraser" a man, followed by a screenshot from the movie "Ghost World" of the scene where Enid is working at the movie theater concessions and tells a male customer that instead of purchasing a medium beverage he could upgrade to a large--indicating a "psychic large".
