I’ve edited my friend group when we know a dude has assaulted someone (even one of us), but a friend says “That’s awful… but he’s always been nice to me.” Sorry, not enough.

Sent a pitch at 10:15 a.m. today to one of my favorite editors, and by 1:00 p.m. I had a yes. Like writers, editors are BUSY, but quick feedback is one of the highlights of my week.

I don’t blame him, but also, it makes me so sad.

I love em dashes and I'm not going to give them up because robots that write badly also use them.

Just here to post this again like I do every year, not only because Douglass was one of the founding philosophers of American liberty but because I am so moved by the kids Frederick Douglass’ descendants deliver “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July”

"What's missing from the story of America? It's the truth," says Rebecca Nagle in her podcast, First America. It unveils how the founders' treatment of Indigenous nations—and their resistance—shaped U.S. democracy. It's a good time to add it to your podcasts. www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/fir...

The child has strapped a chicken egg to herself, convinced that she's going to hatch the thing. It's supposed to take 21 days, so we'll see how long she lasts.

It is worth noting that the takeover of 60 Minutes, and CBS News, is the culmination of the strategy that was baked into the launch of Substack. This is the thing we were trying to explain was bigger than just "there are nazis on there". www.anildash.com//2024/11/19/...

While I haven’t seen The Devil Wears Prada 2, reading this awesome conversation gave me all the feels. “I know we are not that old but I am already like... who needs the mentoring and encouragement to take my spot when they’re ready?” If you’re not already subscribing to Scratch… you should.

Among my favorite memories of my dad was the love we shared for nighttime comedy shows. From Carol Burnett to the Smothers Brothers (also once cancelled by CBS) to Carson to Letterman, we laughed until we cried. My dad had passed before @colbertlateshow.bsky.social but I know he’d have loved it.

I count myself extremely lucky to have visited Kokomo Private Island Resort in Fiji not once, but twice. Looking forward to the next time.

As a non-fiction writer and reader, this news adds to the frustrations of those of us trying to make a living in media. I've reverted to an earlier habit: Everyone getting birthday and holiday gifts from me gets books (mostly non-fiction). Please read this excellent article.

Must read. As a writer who bugged out of Meta platforms more than a year ago, this was a great read.

After attending the 2026 Merrie Monarch Festival (my first ever), I will forever be an attendee in the future. Anyone interested in learning more about hula and Hawaiian culture should do so, too. I will say that it’s a little bit of a relief to have the traffic back to normal in Hilo.

Learn more about Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge, the only place in the state of Hawaiʻi where native bird populations are stable or increasing, in my article for Sierra. (Seems appropriate that it’s published while I’m at home on island at Mele Manaka.) www.sierraclub.org/sierra/haven...

Swimming with whale sharks is a special kind of chaos that requires you to measure an appropriate distance from the animals while being completely mesmerized by sharing space with them. I’d do it all again in a second.

Stuck in an hours-long security line at the airport? It’s because Senate Republicans blocked Democrats’ bill to fund DHS agencies that don’t conduct immigration enforcement, like TSA. That’s how dead set they are on allowing ICE to keep terrorizing communities with impunity. Remember this.
