As a fat author entering the romance publishing scene this November, I REALLY want to connect with fat readers. If you're a fat reader interested in a queer fantasy romance in a fat positive world with DnD vibes, obvious RPG gaming influences and yearning, comment forearms below 👀 #BookSky

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

Blur: I think 5 took his Dog-Man book with him. Is our name in it? Me: I don’t think so. Good news is he’s probably the only kindergartener reading Dog-Man. Blur: Really? I thought it was a popular series. Me: …yes, with 4th graders.

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.

This fact also completely defangs any argument about “job creators.” Job creation means nothing when the jobs being created don’t lead to any reasonable standard of living.

Every Saturday night, 8 and I have story night, where we jointly tell a story. She tells me the characters, the setting, the conflict, and I fill in the connective tissue. She looks forward to this weekly ritual more than probably anything else except maybe her birthday.

8 came into my office and started examining my Thor/Mighty Thor figures. she loved that there was a girl Thor, and wanted me to tell her the “whooole story.” I said, “do you want the comic books?” to which she responded, “YES!!” so now she is planted on the couch with Goddess of Thunder.

kids are going to a new school this year. new as in “not last year’s” and also “the institution’s first year” and, crucially, “the structure was built over the summer”—which leads us to “construction delays” and “summer vacation now ends in September” and “not a single dopamine left in the house”

took the kids to the locally-owned coffee shop to restock on beans. 5 brought a Dog Man stuffie and introduced him to the 18- and 19-year-old baristas, and one said, “I loved those books when I was young” I don’t feel OLD? but I feel some kind of…something about it

brought the kids to a trampoline park and while 8 is doing some obstacles, a super burly Gen X biker-bearded gym rat dad was encouraging his kid to “watch her do it; she’s really good,” and it just gave me so much life to hear him say that—out loud, in public, to his son

It's tragically appropriate that we spent a whole generation telling students that the humanities were moribund, and they should all study STEM, only for the greatest innovations in STEM to prove why the humanities were so essential all along.

As one New York financier told Financial Times journalist Gillian Tett, new hires who were seen as “AI natives” are turning out to have alarmingly shallow ideas. So much so, the anonymous finance worker admitted, that his firm now actively avoids seeking out AI-literate STEM graduates, and opts to comb through humanities students instead.
