Hey folks, if you also like great books and great writing and, furthermore, can tolerate me: next week (10/12) at 6 PM, I'm doing an event with @adamoprice.bsky.social at Lot 49 in Fishtown. Adam is also reading at Rutgers-Camden the next night at 6 PM. You should come to one of these.

I have a new essay up today in @northamerreview.bsky.social, the literal first lit mag I ever submitted to, back in 2005 (they rejected me, correctly), so this is a pretty exciting one for me. It's about a person I know who has gotten obsessed with wigs. northamericanreview.org/open-space/2...

Bad timing for me but BROTHER OF THE MORE FAMOUS JACK is a very good novel and I would have liked to hear this @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social conversation next week

Hate when Hazel is playing and then I go to throw the ball/toy one more time and she looks at it sail forth, then back at me, like, what are you even *doing*, loser?

My dog is from Appalachia and now I want to get to know her ancestral lands.

As I put Hazel through dog kumon (training & "enrichment") I am coming to accept that she might be smart AND lazy. Well, I always say work smarter not harder so hats off to Hazel.

If it was a Barbara Pym festival you'd still have parsons or vicars but also archeologists and spinster secretaries of the archeology society.

I'm sure she wouldn't be so quick with the paw if she knew I was ordering her treats!

Oh, no. Hazel used her paw to close my laptop.

I think all Hazel (dog) is saying is: pet! food! play! walk!

Someone tied up these dogs next to the firehouse and they barked their heads off at my Hazel. I like how she just looked at them like they were losers.

Hazel (a brindle patterned dog) looks at two dogs tied up while they bark at her. She is unbothered.

This movie is lots of fun & perfect for the theater. My parents & I went with my sis & her kid. The kid rarely wants to watch non-YT media but this was too funny not to get swept up by.

This summer I discovered what I call The Chipmunk Superhighway in Prospect Park and I love seeing them but Hazel is mostly Mountain Cur and seeing them drives her insane. We live in NYC. We go to TJ's for snacks. Calm down.

Hazel & I have met a guy whose dog is named Winston. Can't decide if I should ask if he's named after Churchill or the cigarette.

Hazel's rescue is having a contest where your dog's photo can be voted into the 2027 calendar. You bet your ass I took her to the park for a photo shoot. A guy saw me w the camera & said I should go see the hawk he just saw. I said Hazel is a hunting dog & that wasn't a good idea.

Adalena Kavanagh @mamiyaroid.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

She hit the jackpot today when I broke a jar and had to carry her to the bedroom so I could clean up the glass. She got a mini kongsicle for her trouble & my blooper.

Hazel is very food motivated, which is the polite, Western way of putting it. The Taiwanese way is e-gui-- hungry ghost. Fitting for ghost month. Here she is on the cloth I hid treats in. Because it still smells of them.

When you're accused of treat hunting instead of training in good faith.

Adalena Kavanagh @mamiyaroid.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

I'm still training Hazel, so she doesn't always walk so nicely on the leash, especially when she gets overstimulated in Prospect Park. Today a woman walked by w her perfect dogs & said VERY LOUDLY "thank you for walking SO nicely" after Hazel got excited to see dogs, like she's never seen one.

Our dog, Hazel, came to NYC from Bowling Green, Kentucky. I knew she was a little bit country, but after learning exactly which shelter she was at I saw an instagram post about her that said she used to live in an RV and was a camping expert. Maybe this is why she goes nuts for grass!

Adalena Kavanagh @mamiyaroid.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Obviously, thinking about possible costume ideas for Hazel for any of the NYC doggie Halloween parades. Also, can't wait for next year's Bark in the Park with the Brooklyn Cyclones so Hazel be in the pup parade and run the bases.

It is! My very first dog, after a few short lived childhood attempts.

Adalena Kavanagh @mamiyaroid.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

We adopted a dog yesterday! She's 1 and some change years old and we've named her Hazel but we also call her Hazelnut (bc she's a little silly), Little Miss Waggy Tail, Little Miss Too Cute, and when she threw herself down into grass and mud Little Miss Too Silly.

Spent more than two weeks cat sitting a perfect cat and now that I'm back in NY I can't help wondering what she's doing right now. Luckily, she had a fairly consistent schedule so I'm guessing she's in the laundry hamper having her morning snooze after much night business.

I've wondered if because there is real Newsletter Overwhelm if the solution is actually pay walling everything but publishing less often. Instead of weekly, twice a month or even monthly. Obviously, I don't do this for a living but I wondered that informed by my own rate of reading this medium

I have a Brother monochrome inkjet printer (writers, iykyk) and when the ! came on saying some shit about "low toner" I patted the printer and whispered, "you can still do it, baby, don't listen to Big Toner." And it did.

It's cute to wear a Gritty t-shirt in Philadelphia. When you're in an entirely different city the next day but couldn't change because of late hotel check-in, it suddenly feels deranged to walk around with Gritty on your chest.

I'm seeing Pavement next week, but I'm also visiting an uncle at the end of the trip so I need to pack at least one respectable outfit. I'm wearing my Gritty t-shirt to the Philly show to let Philadelphians know I respect their culture but I don't think I can wear that to a tablecloth join in DC.

The book was published in 1934. Dachau was established in March 1933.
