Wannsee is the point where the Nazis realize "all our efforts at exporting Jews to somewhere else are no longer possible now that we are at war, which we probably should have thought about beforehand given our fears of a magic Jews Make Us Lose Wars beam"

It has been nine years since I had a WHOOPS litter of kittens and then fell into fostering for Illoura as an apology to my vet friends. So many cats and kittens since then!

A very small white and tabby kitten, just opening his eyes. He is sitting up with his fluffy siblings surrounding him. There's a ginger kitten and a tiny tabby kitten.

Barney headbutted me so many times he turned his own ears inside out. Once I got done snickering and taking a photo, I did fix it. Don't worry!

A small half grown tabby and white cat on my chest. His giant ears are both flipped inside out, making him look very silly.

The way Annie Dillard reframed the idea of the role of “discipline” in writing really shaped my understanding of the job — work, she wrote, “does not require discipline. It creates its own discipline.” I cannot recommend The Writing Life highly enough. RIP to the best. bookshop.org/a/109816/978...

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing. A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor
with both hands at sections of time. A schedule is a mock-up of reason and order
—willed, faked, and so brought into being; it is a peace and a haven set into the wreck of time; it is a lifeboat on which you find yourself, decades later, still living. Each day is the same, so you remember the series afterward as a blurred and powerful pattern.

There's a common notion that self-discipline is a freakish peculiarity of writers—that writers differ from other people by possessing enormous and equal portions of talent and willpower. They grit their powerful teeth and go into their little rooms. I think that's a bad misunderstanding of what impels the writer. What impels the writer is a deep love for and respect for language, for literary forms, for books. It's a privilege to muck about in sentences all morning. It's a challenge to bring off a powerful effect, or to tell the truth about something. You don't do it from willpower; you do it from an abiding passion for the field.

There are almost certainly atoms in your own body that were once part of dinosaurs. (The “almost” is there for show. There are soooo many atoms.) There are most likely pairs of atoms, sitting right next to each other in a molecule in your pinky finger, that were formed in separate stars.

I am reading T. Kingfisher’s newest, Daggerheart. I am a quarter of the way through, and I feel very privileged to be alive at a time when one can read such unhinged, very strange, quite funny and utterly unpredictable literature. I’m extremely stressed today. This book is very good for me.

The difference in utility between the use of ML to tackle big data problems that would otherwise be intractable & the use of LLMs to produce pointless slop is so large they cannot both be usefully described as “AI“. The first is making real progress, the second is dragging us towards the abyss.

The idea that accessibility is a limited and non-renewable resource consistently keeps people from imagining a better world where we've designed things so everyone can actually get what they need and be comfortable. It also keeps people from demanding changes for the better from those with power.

Matilda and her little feetsies are so close to escaping containment… if only she had opposable thumbs, the brain cell, and/or the ability to read 😹😻

An adorably fluffy tabby and white kitten peeks out from the top of her travel carrier. Both her white front paws are resting near the secured top latch. She would need to slide the latch open and push the top up to escape, which is not gonna happen but a little kitty can dream! Photo owned by CatCareNetwork.org

How I dislike the lazy use of liminal, the idea of edge as the only interesting place. For the ghost is at the centre, it's in the suburbs. Its territory is where we live, work and travel. If you want to find a ghost, forget moor edge and lonely lane, try a train station. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts
