Me, watching the new ATLA movie with my child, imparting important life lessons, ”All I’m saying is that you should choose a partner who will love your children REGARDLESS of which elemental powers they do or don’t inherit…”

Sometimes, the fates have a sense of humor, because yesterday an acceptance email landed in my inbox. My short story RIVER NIGHT HAS FALLEN will be appearing in an upcoming issue of @clarkesworldmagazine.com. Pinch me, still can’t believe it and it’s been a full 24 hours. Happy birthday to me!

I have never experienced such sheer FOMO as watching videos of the dancing bird in Bryant Park. The kind of coveting described in the Torah. It should be me. Watching the woodcock.

The three absolute psychopaths at the table behind me each ordered the SAME DESSERT! I could be out to dinner doing script revisions for Rise of Skywalker with JJ Abrams, and if he ordered the coconut panna cotta, I would still be like “ooh let me get the blackberry cheesecake and we’ll share.”

My 2026 resolution? Butter. While I was in Paris I discovered that European butter has 2% more milkfat than American butter and that makes ALL the difference. Why do we let them steal our milkfat? Arise, siblings! This year I eat only imported butter.

I think I’ve been eating like 90% bread while in Paris and I feel amazing—honestly there may be something to this “eat the foods of your ancestors“ idea and I should try to eat more like a subjugated peasant slowly dying of tuberculosis when I get home

Mr Shep has begun buying bulk kibble for the feral cats behind the house but every time he goes out with a scoop of Meow Mix he makes sure to scold them as “lazy, indolent freeloaders.”

If you loved an author’s book, tell them! They will completely ignore it because they’re fixated forever on the anonymous person who once gave them two stars on goodreads but it’s probably good for your karma
