A great short story is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. You can read it in a single sitting, and it will surprise you and upend your expectations. I just reread "How the Day Runs Down" by the wonderful @johnlangan.bsky.social which combines Thornton Wilder and George Romero and it *works*

In my happy place (our reading nook) reading The Fisherman by @johnlangan.bsky.social. One of those books that is so good it inspires you to want to write better.

There is a grey chair in a small room. The walls are covered in oak leaf wallpaper. Behind the chair is a small window with a metal tree in front. On the chair is a green blanket and a book.

A hand is holding an open book. There is a tattoo on the forearm. In the background is oak leaf wallpaper.

Hey you! Yes, YOU. Wanna read a really good novel? Check out "The Fisherman" by John Langan @johnlangan.bsky.social. It's scary, weird, and also profoundly fine and understands the way men of a certain age both know one another and never quite know one another.

Many great pieces on Dolly Parton this week, but @rahawahaile.bsky.social's in Scratch is by far my favorite. Just a jaw-dropping piece of beautiful writing. www.talkscratch.com/dolly-parton...

But this is the point I’m making, in this publication about how writers survive—I don’t think one can ever stop being themselves. For those of us not born to wealth, conviction is our greatest fortune. Dolly never squandered hers. Her values were clear: Pay your union dues, stand with labor, love the castaways, put money directly in people’s pockets. Make great art (and own your work). Share books freely. Uplift the land as the land has lifted and lifted you. Higher still, even. And help the people climb.

Viewing Carnival of Souls and Messiah of Evil as a double feature really did rewrite my brain chemistry. The pair are so in sync, perfect synergy and ghoulish symphony. Zombie apocalypses as the relentless void where the highway runs out, gas station signs against jet black. Goddamned Americana.

The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.
