There are ~66K WW2 vets still alive.

Where's the NYTimes, etc. with these guys/women? What do they think?

Can we get any living WWII vets, if they're around, to please comment on this absolute shitshow? They fought fascists. Do these R's not understand that they're holding hands and walking into the sea together?

EVERY BOOK BANNED FROM THE READING BOWL HAS BEEN RESTORED!!!!!

The kids will be able to read and compete over all 20 books. Raising the issue made a difference. Teen advocates made a difference.

I am so anemic in my short story production, and so bearish on my own capabilities, that the one story I do have finished and can send out just sits on my hard drive b/c of sheer anxiety and fear.

a man and a woman are standing next to each other and the man is saying he has emotional problems

I had a few people say things this weekend like
“Are you one of the organizers?”
and
“Are you a writer?”

And yes I’m one of the organizers they don’t just keep me around to do speeches about how you’re gonna die and yes I’m a writer I wrote a book called CHURCHBURNER you should check it out.

Just found out that Edward Gorey's ashes are interred in his mother's plot about four hours south of me in Ironton, OH.

Looks like I'll be making a pilgrimage soon...
