An aspiring writer asked me “Are you writing a book or are you writing something that will one day become a book?” The distinction hit me like a brick. I don’t think there’s a wrong answer, but your answer says a lot about how the process works for you. I’m Option 2. Just FYI

Born on this day: Halsey, American singer‑songwriter celebrated for her genre‑blending pop and alternative sound, poetic lyricism, and bold visual storytelling. She's known for chart‑topping albums, outspoken activism, and redefining modern artistry through vulnerability and creative independence.
Daryl Hall, American singer‑songwriter known for Hall & Oates, gazes directly at the camera with pale blue eyes and tousled blond hair. His leather jacket and softly lit pastel background evoke 1980s pop‑rock glamour and understated confidence. I could have gone in a few different directions but I think this one is fun.

It feels like every culture must learn (and relearn again and again) that having wealth does not make one smart. It’s a parody of those Holidau Inn Express commercials. “Well, I’m not a doctor but I do have a billion dollars in my bank account.”

Born on this day: Hilary Duff, American actor‑singer who rose to fame through Lizzie McGuire, built a long career in film, TV, and pop music, later becoming a bestselling author and producer known for her upbeat style and enduring cultural impact.
Hillary Clinton speaking at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. Pretty straightforward I thought. I can’t see anyone taking issue with this at all. It’s bulletproof really.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal
Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."

Dammit, the Moon is doing a spectacular thing and as usual, it will not fit in my camera at all.
View over tan plains with cholla and distant blue mountains. The sky is blue but pink where the Belt of Venus hits. The moon is vanishing into clouds that cannot be seen as anything but the same shade of blue, and thus looks like a lidded eye.

Born on this day: Sophia Loren, the iconic Italian actress whose magnetic presence, Oscar‑winning talent, and timeless elegance made her a global symbol of cinematic glamour. Rising from postwar hardship, she built a legendary career defined by strength, beauty, and unforgettable screen charisma.
Estelle Getty as Sophia Petrillo from The Golden Girls, wearing a dark brocade blouse with a cameo brooch and oversized glasses, her silver curls neatly styled against a vivid pink backdrop, smiling with a mischievous, knowing expression that captures her character’s sharp wit. IYKYK. This is one of those ones where I expect people to go ‘I don’t get it’ or ‘this is tenuous at best’. Anyway, you guys know what’s up.

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Friends! It's the feast day of St. Hildegard of Bingen, an abbess, polymath, mystic, & eel truth-teller. Medieval thinkers agreed that eels reproduce asexually. But Hildegard suggested that eels mate at sea, where we can't watch. No one listened to her. But she was right! 1/2 🗃️🧪
Meme. Painting of St. Hildegard, from the shoulders up. She is dressed up in her nunnish finery. Her wimple is white and very creased, so that she looks a bit like a mummy and her veil is the dusky black of that suggests it's been through the wash many times. She has something like a crown on her head, with little spikes that look for all the world like duck feet. The saint's eyebrows are hard lines like windshield wipers, & her nose is ski-jump smooth.

Her head is surrounded by a nimbus of blue with a white outline, set against an orange background. She is looking up and towards your right, as if she's watching a possum that's about to drop onto the person sitting next to you. Her mouth is set in a tight smile. She's likely thinking about sex again. And maybe not just eel sex.

Hildegard provided us with the first written description of the female orgasm, so it's quite possible that she's got that on her mind.

Meme text reads:
"Medieval Eel Truth:
It's all about the Bingen's, baby!"
