thinking of starting a book club that's just called unfuck your brain and it's me reading nonfiction books that, while perhaps somewhat boring, will be enriching for the doomscroll-happy ooze that has replaced my brain

this take is completely half-baked and only based on instinct but do we think there's a little house on the prairie to cozy fantasy pipeline because while I remember some non-cozy plot stuff from those books, I mostly think I read them to immerse myself in a kind of domestic routine?

Slightly awkward plane chat the other day-- Lady: are you a writer? Me: ...yes Lady: what do you write? Me: science fiction and fantasy Lady: oh, science fiction-- do you write about AI? Me: no, I mostly try to pretend AI doesn't exist, to be honest. She, of course, worked for an AI company.

I have set up the heating pad for the pup and really, this is a gift to both of us.

a small, fuzzy gray and white dog lying on top of a cushion that has a heating pad on it. She has the bleary eyes of an elderly dog but she is obviously still a baby. All her legs are bundled together.

the picture of the same cushions, same heating pad, same pup, but I'm just looking at the back of her (extremely relaxed) fuzzy head.

I was given the sacred taste of drawing to-scale Four and Tris for the Sixth Faction book tour and promotion so they could be turned into standees. It almost blew my CPU into outerspace even drawing them at 1/3 scale but I would do anything for My Children.

it's our fifteen year anniversary this year and it is unfortunately coming at a time when we're both tired of traveling, tired of eating rich food, and tired of drinking. So I guess we're gonna celebrate by...smooching the dog. (a worthwhile pursuit)

This isn’t exactly the question asked but it made me think of Salter: "There's wide agreement that writing is difficult even for very good writers. Sometimes it's more difficult, sometimes less. In climbing the difficulty defines the achievement. In writing it doesn't have anything to do with it."
