Ever find yourself craving a few cryo-preserved slices of mouse hippocampus when it’s too late to do anything about it?
Ironworker here. Every steel bridge moves, almost like a living thing. The calm in crossing one (and in starting across a wobbling beam at heights) is the samurai’s, in full recognition of the temporal nature of existence.
Now enjoy your stroll.
cool!
a couple other bridges like that were a little scary as a pedestrian, with high wind and cars very fast i guess i got used to neighborhood walking lol.
probably for the best
is *this* calming?
Really great cold, rainy day to walk. 2/2
Around Portland. The Springwater Trail is a treasure. Walked 12 miles, much of it wooded. 1/2
oh cool!!
Heard nothing but good things about her. That's great!
Comp title pitches = getting out of hand. I read one the other day that was like "The Old Testament meets Gravity's Rainbow mixed with War & Peace" and description was like "follows Crappy Do-Dah, who lives in a Brooklyn apartment peeing with the seat up as he slowly realizes cockroaches can talk."
Would a little guy beebopping up a tree calm ya? Brown creeper at Oak Bottom.
Tales of Soggy Adventure and Survival, among others, available free between Tibbets and Brooklyn on SE 35th Ave

This one from last summer completely realligned my mood! 🐕
James Elkins' five-book series continues with Stories, Like Illnesses, book three, in September. Can't wait to read it! These are among the most ambitious novels I've ever read. I would say the second was the most unconventional, but hilarious, profound, beautiful, absurdist, and so, so fascinating.

We've reached the point where you actually have to opt OUT of an author impersonation feature.
Let me tell you the weekslong process my company just went through just to be able to send marketing texts to people. But monetizing a product you're pitching as author coaching? Ok!
love the soundtrack lol
So apparently grammarly stole my fuckin identity
my lord, please direct me as to how my book can serve you. shall it be made into a waffle, to feed thee, or shall i melt it from a steel box into a ploughshare, that thou shall till the land, or should this one that is a stark raving porcupine with wings be made into a rumba? speak now or shaddap.
This masked bandit looks like he knows the Police lineup drill. 🤣

Appreciate cogent, well-written analysis in this day and age.
very excited for this to be out in the world: i wrote about repressed queerness in Elio, child surveillance in Inside Out 2, the post-Lasseter crisis, and the figure of the child in Pixar for The Baffler
