The student newspaper.
This fell. To the student. Newspaper.

Them: "Don't get political. Hurts your sales."

Me: "Okay."

Them: "Don't use too much Spanglish. Readers don't like that."

Me: "Got it."

Them: "Keep violence and horror under control so it appeals to everyone."

Me: "Yeah."

Then I did what I wanted.

9. History of the Occult (dir. Cristian Ponce, 2020).

Cosmic horror filtered the lenses of a political thriller, an only somewhat exaggerated metaphor for the presence of external parties like America interfering in democratic elections and propping up dictators for their own interests...

Jane Pak, Beloved Mother, 1940-2021 I want to tell you about Jane Pak. Jane Pak, 1984, giving me a Jane Pak look. She loved libraries and schools and museums. She loved Half Price Books and WQXR, New York’s classical music radio stat…

Four years since my mom passed.

Jane Pak loved public libraries and public radio and public schools and museums and clear writing and careful editing and voting and good journalism.

"Be like Jane Pak" is a pretty good mantra for #2025.

Princess Mononoke print for this month’s patreon subscription. Another personal favorite of mine - slots are almost full if you wanted to join and get one for half price

Otherwise get one from the shop as usual instead

Legislators are fundamentally metrics driven cowards. Flood them with enough calls and they will start panicking that theyre backing an unpopular issue

Mention both KOSA and the SCREEN act! Demand that they act AGAINST these bills!

Massive congratulations to our very own Michael Sellars for signing with one of the best British indies out there!

Check out Hyenas for a taste of what's to come from this utterly brilliant writer 😍

I messed up with my library holds and had to go pick up A TON of books. On the bright side, I’ve got plenty of books to chose from now! On the not so bright side, sixteen books is a lot of pressure.
Still not sure what the max number of books I can have put at once and I’m scared to find out.

NY-14 Constituents looking at a PowerPoint slide that says Know Your Rights with ICE and is in Rep. AOC's branding

Yesterday, my office hosted a Know Your Rights workshop in Corona with @thenyic.bsky.social and local community partners.

To learn more about your rights when interacting with ICE, visit our KYR web page or reach out to our office!

I'm looking at short stories I left unfinished and some of them are years old. One of them as probably the coolest name I've ever given or will ever give anything I've penned.
"Deathhead and the Weepers"
That's some band name material.

I think the AI overshot and couldn't decide between a mirror, a adjustable canvas holder or a book stand for when you're reading at your desk.

alleged 18th century book stand

a book stand that shows the adjustable gears that hold the rests meant for the fornt and back cover of the book

I think you're right and is AI. Took me a while but I think that's some aborted attempt at an antique book stand.

I don't know what the equivalent for paints would be, but looks too vague.

I thought Micheal's was better than this but guess I was wrong? :/

Is it just me or does this look like AI slop? I'm just gonna paint one myself.

My experience:
"NEVER AGAIN...
Well, alright, I can probably do one more and work in short stories when I feel like taking a break "

Now that I've finished my novella, should I...
-Abandon long fiction entirely and write short stories until I die
-Put myself through the torment of writing a novel over approximately the next 63 years

Once again, people care. Deeply and viscerally. Speaking out with all their heart in the face of these horrors.

Great admiration for these "Families Stand Up for Gaza" protestors and the folks at the Israelis for Peace protest I photographed last week.
