Yesterday I had a Mistake Day—one of those days where I just kept making small but visible errors at my job. I feel much better about myself today.

For whoever needs to hear it today: the truth is as long as you're continuing to grow, continuing to push forward, and becoming a stronger writer, it's all still part of your success and your path as a writer. #writingcommunity

In addition, most leaders of most countries since the invention of national borders would fall to their knees in gratitude if they had the kind of relationship with a neighbor that we had with Canada. They would be singing glad hosannas and slaughtering fatted calves in thanks.

Nope. Look, I applaud the ex-Republicans who had the integrity and the moral clarity to walk away. Politics is mostly tribalism, and that’s a hard instinct to overcome. So kudos. But you don’t get to remake the 2026 Democrats into the 1985 Republicans because it’s more comfortable for you.

I would kill or die for Larry
A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."

Making the computer read it out loud to you is even better. It catches stuff your eyes skim over, and that flat voice makes you really think about the words you’re using instead of the tone you’re mentally injecting when you read to yourself.
