Original landscape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Homeland No. 2602" oil on Ampersand Gessobord, 6"x6" (2026). A peaceful atmospheric landscape painting of lush green gentle slopes with a loosely painted tree in the foreground on the left, underneath a light blue sky with textured breezy white cloud formations.

I'm longing for warmer days.

Thought this was great. A cosmic horror novel about a cursed TTRPG!

This Great Blue Heron has chosen to winter in Central Park. I see it regularly, standing stoically on the ice--but never fishing. Hoping it is going to make it until the ice thaws! 💙🩶❤️ #Herons #CentralPark #birding

Felt like the coldest morning yet in this epic deep freeze, as you can see by how floofy this beautiful Northern Cardinal is! It's amazing they can survive this bitter weather. 🤎❄️❤️ #Cardinal #CentralPark #birding

A vaporous spirit floats up out of a deck of playing cards that’s also a source of water. The spirit has its hands out in supplication/invitational display. It wears a steel helmet with deer antlers coming out the sides.

I ventured out to Central Park early this morning during the Blizzard of '26. It was beautiful and eerily quiet, and I ran into a couple of avian buddies, including this Northern Cardinal, all puffed up to keep warm! ❄️❄️❄️ #Cardinal #CentralPark #birdcpp

HOW TO NEW YORK 'Code Blue' Nights: How Homeless Outreach Works When It's Freezing Special protocols kick into gear when the temperature is below 32 degrees. BY HAIDEE CHU I JAN. 22, 2026, 8:29 P.M.

In addition to calling 311, however, Strang also suggested several questions to pose to an unsheltered person you may know from your neighborhood: • Are you staying warm? • Can I pick you up some hand warmers or blankets? • Have you had enough to eat? • What's your plan for tonight if it gets colder? "This is absolutely about life and limb," Nugent added. "And people will freeze in the street, and we can help with that."

it’s now deadly cold in new york, and will remain that ways for days. we have a very good guide on how the city responds to unsheltered people, and how to help them, when winter gets bitter

american innovation continues unabated

Wrote a lot this year, most of which I’ve scrapped but both deepened my sense of the project and characters and reactivated a love of writing itself, as a practice with/for myself. Solid writing year.

Our photographer Alex Kormann captured the exact moment the presses stopped for the last time in Minneapolis, ending a 158 history of locally printed newspapers.

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—"

You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

There’s a good workout and then there’s a workout where “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?” drops on shuffle mid-set

A photo of THE END TIMES, a faux local newspaper written in the wake of an apocalyptic plague. A little white strip of paper has been placed on the upper right corner of the paper to obscure my mailing address.

99% of the world is dead. In a small Minnesota town, 1 woman writes the monthly local paper but it’s actually an epic horror story mailed to your door.

1 issue in and I already love it.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

No one talking about the mealy apple crisis

Happy Noam Chomsky Day to all who celebrate
