Where are the USMNT sociopaths. Send them my way. I will publicly shame them for their lack of faith patriotism and basic intelligence

I have been waiting 15 years for a "quiet little masterpiece" from Paul Constant. THE STONESHORE REGISTER is out now from @karenpberger.bsky.social's Berger Books, with art by brother from another mother MK Perker.

One of my favorite things about writing a newsletter is that it's also my reading journal. For instance, last month I was happily surprised by @gwillow.me and MK Perker's graphic novel The Stoneshore Register. You'll get similar brief thoughts on my reading life in every issue.

Seattle author G. Willow Wilson's latest comic with artist M.K. Perker, The Stoneshore Register, is a quiet little masterpiece. It's about a young journalist who gets a job writing at a tiny newspaper in a coastal Washington state town where weird things happen. It's a perfect mix of Our Town and Twin Peaks, and a hopeful refugee narrative. It's right up there with my favorites of
Wilson's work.

I felt a little twinge near the end, but mostly they were correct.

You gotta get back in the chair and get your teeth checked out Kamose!

We have dental insurance, thankfully, but I'm still out of pocket to the tune of $1k

G. Willow Wilson @gwillow.me · 19h

Maxed out my dental insurance and just kept going 💸

The moral of the story for parents is, don't neglect your own health while you're busy prioritizing your kids. My kids get their dental check-ups every 6 months, but I hadn't been to the dentist in 2 years. 😭

G. Willow Wilson @gwillow.me · 19h

I was ready to get out of the chair and run away

"that cavity is so tiny you won't need it" and I was like "are we seriously just going to raw-dog this cavity" and he was like "yeah it'll take 10 minutes and then that's one less thing for you to worry about" and anyway I lived to tell the tale

G. Willow Wilson @gwillow.me · 19h

Done with Part 3 of 4 of this root canal. There was a tiny cavity that the dentist was going to leave until my next 6 month checkup, but we had extra time and the end and he was like "you know what, let's just take care of this now" and I was like "that half of my mouth isn't numbed" and he was like

Nah I'm glad there are still people who have the capacity to be surprised. It means there are a few people left who are neither cynics nor terminally online

G. Willow Wilson @gwillow.me · 19h

I'm not shocked, yet at the same time, I wish I was shocked.

Planted a bunch of spring bulbs, looked around and said "that's it, done for the year" and then saw that Prairie Moon has the native purple meadow rue I've been looking for and they ship through October

Anything can be brilliant when deployed thoughtfully. The question is, are you doing the thing with purpose, or are you doing it because you don't know any other way?

Short fiction gets a present tense allowance. Easier to sustain a propulsive voice in short fiction.
