A hot latte with heart latte art in a black mug on a wood table

I was having a bad day, but going out for a latte definitely made it better. This is called the Honey Badger, and it’s a latte with honey, cinnamon, and cardamom.

In 2026 I definitely want to post on Bluesky more often. Hopefully this is an easy win. I just got so overwhelmed with all the different social media platforms I’m on.

I’m glad that it’s helping him. Thanks for letting me know.

Does anyone have a Boox e-reader? I’m debating about getting one. I’m hoping it will help reduce eye strain so I can read for longer periods of time.

I'm a poet because I need my writing to be true and authentic with maximum plausible deniability.

Connecting the Dots ‘There’s an extensive online discourse on the Baby Boomer generation’s penchant for ellipses. “OK . . .” “Thanks . . .” “See you next week . . .”’

What do you all think the ellipses mean in texts?

Have you all watched The Way Home yet? It was a Hallmark time travel series originally but right now it’s on Netflix. I highly recommend it!

My 40 hr/week contract job, which was recently reduced to 20 hr/week, is now Zero hr/week due to budget cuts. (Not just me, a whole team.)

If anyone wants to hire the best entertainment writer in the galaxy (me) please be in touch. “I will do dog food commercials!”

Submissions are now open for issue 28 of The Manchester Review. The Editors are looking forward to reading the best of your poetry, fiction, and non fiction.

In this photograph by Melissa Marsh, titled "Bones," a dilapidated--and further dilapidating--building with wood siding is squeezed between two brick structures, probably apartment buildings. The aquamarine sky somehow makes the whole photo look like a watercolor.

Grateful to have two poems in issue 27 of The Shore, a journal I love--in the company of so many lovely poets & the photographer Melissa Marsh.
So: thank you, dear editors, for making space for this narrow fellow, "Pink."

I recently watched The Way Home and Providence Falls, and loved them both. Is the Hallmark Channel way better than I thought it was? What other shows do they have that are similar?

PSA on links: On Bluesky, there’s no limit to the number of links you can share, and they will receive the same visibility as your other posts 💙

Trump: "I saw Bigfoot once. Very big feet, incredible. He shook my hand and told me what a great job I'm doing."

So I feel very strongly that there aren’t enough good resources to tell people what mobile games are actually fun and not just a Delaware corporation lunging for your wallet and I’m going to start a thread. Sam’s IOS Game Thread START:
