Ah, I just learned that a Dutch phrase for leaving a party without announcing your exit is 'taking the rat taxi', and that's so much better than any of the Many nationalist or outright racist terms I've heard that I will be adopting it immediately

Constantly reinventing yourself is seen as weakness of character, but as someone who started out with a pretty fucked up set of perspectives, those constant changes during my middle adult years are a record of my becoming a better version of myself. This is also a post about constitutions

I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer when I was 29. I'd researched a story I was plotting about a serial killer who had a terminal disease, so as soon as I got the call I knew it was months, not if. This news breaks my heart all over again, because I'd give anything to have had this for my mom

If there is One Thing I hope readers get out of the series I'm trying to start publishing this year (that I've been working on for 15 years), it's that we, humanity, ARE everything we need in order to have everything we can imagine. It's the most defiantly humanist thing I've ever written

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once. And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.
