The struggle of literature is in fact a struggle to escape from the confines of language; it stretches out from the utmost limits of what can be said; what stirs literature is the call and attraction of what is not in the dictionary. Italo Calvino, The Uses of Literature

Marketing graphic for Nintendo Streetpass on the 3DS. It shows white stick figures going about their days and the two in the middle are walking away from each other, one has a tote bag the other a briefcase. It shows 3DSes in their bags and green arrows forming a circle between the people. At the bottom is two 3DSes doing a wireless communication thing between them.

Are you looking for a little Saturday read about a sad TikTok dad, amateur naturalists wandering…and maybe lycanthropy??? If that’s the case, check out my new story, The Not Dog Thing, over in @bourbonpenn.bsky.social!!! www.bourbonpenn.com/issue/39/the...

After Mom died, Dad started making plant identification TikToks. Of course I gave him a follow. It was my idea after all. He was so depressed. So glum. Everyone needs an outlet for their grief.

Experts urge schools to keep teaching writing in the age of AI, not even because of its importance per se but because it’s essential to developing habits of mind: “Writing is a technology for thinking” www.nytimes.com/2026/08/17/u...
