I don't care how many times you read that email draft, it has a typo.

DC residents have been refusing to call that airport anything but National for almost thirty years, we certainly can refuse to call that arts center anything but the Kennedy Center for three

How do people without drafts to work on get any chores done? Anyway, vacuumed the car this morning.

Something so eerily cynical about suggesting we address the loneliness crisis with VR headsets for seniors and AI therapist-bots for teens.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Wow, in my end-of-year exhaustion I really needed this beautiful reminder of how our work "seeks to emphasize the joy of discovery in a time when productivity rules supreme"

The end of Grey's Anatomy season 1: a perfect 60 seconds of television.

Being a human person is so embarrassing, just all these emotions about sunsets and traffic and loneliness and snacks

No greater thrill than suggesting a purchase to the library and having them approve it within hours.

So so so close to getting this section of the draft to where I want it that I have decided to work on something else entirely

Husband went camping with friends and left me a homemade pizza, a pile of cookie dough, and a bottle of wine. So yeah, the perfect man does exist.

Abatement — Split Lip Magazine Darryl’s house was ringed by luxurious grasses. They were long and sweet-smelling, friendly and carefree, bowing and flirting in the occasional breeze.

"Darryl didn’t think he was lonely. He had the dogs and his thoughts and now his plants."

Max Wheeler's "Abatement" in the @splitlipthemag.bsky.social September issue is so tender and strange and transporting...

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

I feel a bit late to my own party here, but it's been a busy summer...beyond thrilled that my story collection has found its perfect home at @milkweededitions.bsky.social, a publisher whose mission and catalogue I deeply admire.

“When I’m writing, I use AI for—”

“Haha. You can’t write and have zero respect for what writers do. And you owe me money for stealing my shit. Bye.”

That’s it. That’s the answer. It’s not a debate.
