Save it for a collection, Adrian!

I am bad at noticing this kind of thing, but I will try!

That's hilarious. I want to see this so bad!

So good to see you in person, Chris. Hope it happens again. Thanks for being such a real one.

so damn good 🫀🫀🫀

That weird thing where you see friends in real life for the first time who you've only ever seen in an obscured thumbnail.

Sometimes I get to see friends who also happen to be the most brilliant writers on the planet @alinaetc.bsky.social @addisonzeller.bsky.social

Pretty sure 90% of the people I've seen walking around are at the conference whether or not they've been wearing one

Writing . . . is my lifesaver when the water of the river or the sea tries to drag me under. What matters is what we write: that is what we are, not some puppet made up by those who talk and enclose us in a prison so different from our dreams.

LLM makers makers do not want you to be able to understand. It's about turning the means of understanding and sensemaking into externalized products to rent.

Other than those that facilitate communication with friends and peers (and even those a lot of times!), I haven't known a single app or program to do anything other than steal my disordered attention.

If you think this is accessibility technology then Godspeed to you.

feel this so much!

Make it happen, Alina. A lot of us would show up!

Meanwhile planning on going to your reading tonight.

would absolutely attend if they ever held it in Toronto or Vancouver

Any secret writers also on this Delta flight from SLC to BWI for #AWP26?

See you at your booth to say hi

A special edition of Martin Scorsese's Boxcar Bertha. The cover art is a hand painted illustration of the main characters.

The last mail to arrive before I headed to airport, straight from the distributor, for the first time in 4K.

Thank you, David! Talk to you when I'm back!

By the end of the day I will be in one of my favorite cities in the world, a city that used to be my home, for the first time in almost fourteen years.

oh, even more intrigued now

💯

I'd love to hear how/what you decide when you do

(but also that it communicates solidarity with readers of that writing system and just my own appreciation/pride in that language's meaning and beauty)

For me, on a basic level, it's about whether I want to communicate sound or image (appreciating, secondarily, that if I use the writing system of that other language a reader might perceive it as more alien/other).

Oh, amazing! Of course you're related to Joe and Lee Bennion (by marriage). I love that shop and the pottery.
