Meg Elison's writing is un-fuck-with-able. (Yes, that is a word.) As soon as I read the description of the book, I pre-ordered it. You should do the same.

The picture shows two dolls with movable shoulders, elbows, hips and knee joints. The legs of both dolls are partially broken off. One doll's arm is almost completely missing. The limbs and torso are very long, the breasts small. The faces are largely destroyed. The hair is combed back behind the ears, reaching down to the shoulders at the nape. The ivory, which is actually white, has turned brown over time.

Beloved #toys: a pair of #Roman ivory #dolls with articulated arms and legs found in a tomb of a little #girl from a wealthy family in Emona, Ljubljana/Slovenia.

The majority of the dolls in Roman times were made of less valuable materials such as clay, wood or linen. 🧵1/2

I will not submit anywhere that uses AI for art or content.

I will permanently end my relationship (subscription, sharing, etc) with any magazine/site that does this. If it's a mistake, I need to see real changed behavior and a policy that works to prevent.

No quarter.

I think it's pretty easy to spot the lens. Buddy Holly is safe. Loser McFuckface is not.

I grew up poor on American military bases. The argument that the poor and disenfranchised have no other recourse besides military service neglects some basic truths:

1. most serving stay poor for YEARS
2. Tricare is no prize
3. other jobs can suck just as bad and keep you poor while killing no one

This month's ode is about taking my niece to the indoor adventure park, and reflecting on P.E. and how it shapes a relationship with the body that mostly sucks. My newsletter is free, and in 2026 is all about things that I love.
