Hen on the writers lap, in front of a desk cover with notes

I always seem to have avian companions during large creative projects. Currently, an elderly hen is getting me through writing a book. Once it was a discarded racing pigeon. And I’m often visited by a family of crows (in a different location).

If anyone I know on here is a member of The Center for Fiction in Downtown Brooklyn, would you be willing to bring me as a guest one day?

I love seeing process

Thanks, Michelle! Just logged on here looking for English-language updates.

I love cooking a little square of kelp into a pot of beans, and letting the kelp get all mushy and meld into the broth.

I take the kelp out when I want a delicate broth, but leave it in for heartier soups. Even when I take it out I try to cook it into something else, like a nice little topping for rice.

I couldn’t find it 😢

Very good and correct thread!!

That’s a really good one

“Both options will allow publishers to choose from more than 100 AI-generated voices across English, Spanish, French and Italian to narrate their books. AI translation of audiobooks is expected to be available later in the year.” 😩

There’s the heat, but there’s also a strategic reserve that the government uses to control prices, and decades of policy reducing the amount of land used to grow rice.

the man next to me on my flight is reading a novel. in hardcover. i feel like he's from the future.

normally my suitcase just sits half-unpacked for weeks

Just a few days left to apply (and the application is easy)!

This looks lovely!

I got home before sunset from a 4-hour drive (in a kei truck) at the end of a 2-week work trip, did all the laundry and started packing for my next trip. Please give me an award.

But that’s my emotional support em dash—

Potentially carcinogenic chemicals over standard at 242 sites in Japan Japan banned the production and import of PFOS and PFOA, both of which are main components of PFAS, by 2021.

Concentrations of PFAS, potentially carcinogenic chemicals, in groundwater and river water exceeded Japan's provisional standard at 242 locations in 22 of the country's 47 prefectures in fiscal 2023

Thank you!

Is there a podcast app that lets you sort your subscriptions into separate feeds? For example, I want one for news and politics, one for cultural criticism, and one for Japanese language. #podcast #podcasts

It’s very unsettling, isn’t it?
