I wrote about Julian Curo-Churata last week. His only conviction appears to be a traffic offense. A civil immigration violation should not carry the death penalty. austinkocher.substack.com/p/julian-…

Oh we're doing Romance novel discourse again?

Fred from Scooby Doo unmasks a ghost in two panels. In the first, the masked ghost is, "HERE'S WHY THIS GENRE I HATE IS BAD." In the second, the ghost is unmasked to turn out to be, "I HAVEN'T READ OF IT BUT"

It is impossible to underestimate how much science-lovers in particular love their tote bags. (Source: the many panicked messages about whether there would still be tote bags when the association I used to work for announced they were cutting back on printed materials for the annual conference.)

One more ask to this, since I'm thinking about it. One thing I really want to encourage ALL of us to do, is to: 1. Yes, talk to your children AND loved ones about this. This is in the news and all over social media. Give them the words. Help them process. 2. But at the same time -

This is a canary resuscitator, which miners would use to revive canaries that had passed out from toxic gas, because ideally not only do you care, you don't even leave the bird behind. just a little mining history and not at all a furious scream

A lot of people are not well right now: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This is an excellent time to de-escalate conflicts and to lean into patience. This is true in our personal lives and also (maybe especially) online when it's overwhelmingly strangers crashing into each other.

It’s not quite September 2, but it’s damn close. Goodbye, Wendell Berry.

SEPTEMBER 2
In the evening there were flocks of nighthawks passing southward over the valley. The tall sunflowers stood, burning on their stalks to cold seed, by the still river. And high up the birds rose into sight against the darkening clouds. They tossed themselves among the fading landscapes of the sky like rags, as in
abandonment to the summons their blood knew.
And in my mind, where had stood a garden straining to the light, there grew an acceptance of decline. Having worked, I would sleep, my leaves all dissolved in flight.
