Finished @naomialderman.bsky.social "Don’t Burn Anyone At The Stake Today" which is a short, but meaningful book about the information crisis we find ourselves living in.
"Never talk about a culture-war topic with anyone who only wants to talk to you about that topic." Words to live by, esp online.

Look, there are two things killing bookstores, and neither one is ebooks.
One is rent.
The other is *waves hands vaguely* everything costing too damn much.

So many businesses used to be open late or 24hrs. Nighttime had a different vibe.

So many skids around where I live that I’m thinking there must be a club for it. They’re kind of aesthetically conscious about them, too- never more than one or two per road so it doesn’t get too visually confusing.

Starting a new book - 38 Londres Street by the brilliant Philippe Sands - and this is the epigraph.
As pressing as it was in 1577.

I'm just a little bit obsessed with this mixed media art journal. So far, I've mostly used gouache and colored pencils in it, and the paper is amazing for those!

Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

If you’re in favor of shutting down museum exhibitions or banning books because they make you feel bad, that’s a pretty good tip that you deserve to feel bad.

My parents just called me to tell me that they finished reading my novel and said that they loved it and are proud of the work I've done, and as an Asian immigrant child, the fact that I got them to say this after having fought for years over my writing career feels like a massive achievement.
