Yaaaas. "I want to try, so our weird algorithm-bent feeds aren't molding us into their version of who we are."
Sending you all the best for a gentle recovery, Glenn!
Happy to share that University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences published my essay, "My summer of demolition and renovation: Remodeling our bathroom and learning I had cancer in my face."
Here's a link to the new issue of 'Medicine and Meaning.'

Congrats to @birdiebuddies.bsky.social on the release of the Little Birdie Buddies of Love. And thanks to book designer
@illustrada.bsky.social for using Marcel!
The color change aspect is interesting; I didn't realize that happened.
I am so very sorry to read this. I'm so glad you have so many people in your corner.
Fantastic, Greg! Congratulations!
That's fantastic -- huge congratulations!!

Tomorrow marks one year since a biopsy revealed I had skin cancer. Two days of surgery and months of recovery followed.
I invite you to read an essay I wrote about the experience.

I learned something new about my grandfather last week. He was born in 1900 and fought in France in WWI. When WWII came around -- with two of his sons fighting in the war -- he volunteered to fight again. (The military didn't take him, he was too old, but he volunteered anyway).
This podcast about parenting a kid with ADHD is so, so good. Whether you're in a similar situation or not you'll learn something about ADHD -- and ship salvage. It's an unconventional confluence of topics, but it will make sense once you start listening -- I promise! @erynecki.bsky.social
Brava! Good for you. Agree: "Just begin. Somewhere. Anywhere."
My book has been out for seven years and I am truly honored that book clubs still choose to read and discuss it. Thank you Friends of the Ely Public Library (...if I had known I could have joined via Zoom)! #MarcelsLetters
You guys: this podcast is so good. Episode #3 next week!
Is that seriously the email address? If so I hope it's a person in customer service with the last name of "Hurts". If not, yowza.
Expecting to hear "rapid unscheduled disassembly" the next time a client's project goes awry.
My latest newsletter… with some behind the scenes stuff about That Sinking Feeling open.substack.com/pub/elizabet...
...for nearly 2 decades, was arrested as a 'foreigner' and deported. He died inside a cattle car heading east.
Brutal? Yes. Does that action still reverberate seven decades later? Yes. Was he welcomed until a new regime told him he was no longer welcome? Yes.
...warmly welcomed foreign workers, as they needed to replace able-bodied men lost in WWI. Her father loved France, loved Paris. He worked as a locksmith.
Everything changed in 1940, of course.
In November 1942 her father, who, despite having lived in France ...
Let me share a story about deporting once-welcomed workers...
My friend Louise is 99 years old. She has lived in Minnesota since the late 1940s, but was born and raised in Paris. Both her parents had been born in Poland, but moved to Paris in the booming inter-war years. At that time France...
Can't wait to listen! Good luck with all the behind-the-scenes work!
My dad has been gone for 2-1/2 years, and last night, for the first time, he showed up in a dream. We talked through a half-open door for 3 or 4 minutes. In the dream everything was clear as day, but after waking all I could remember is the surprise in my voice when I saw him and said "hi dad!"
I should add the 'WTF?! is happening' was from those of us watching. None of us knew they were trick candles, we watched as the flames on the mass of candles just kept getting bigger!
I brought a cake w/ candles to a friend who is turning 99 next week. Unbeknownst to me, my local Kowalski's sells trick candles that re-light after you blow them out. Picture a 98-year-old lady trying to blow out a cake full of candles that won't go out. Equal parts 'WTF?! is happening' + laughter.
Hi Jonathan! I hope all is well with you in the PNW! I'm slowly reassembling a community here; was glad to see your name pop up!
Typical #Minnesotan: I heard about someone who thought "Bluesky" was pronounced "Blueskee"
Welp, I've made the switch from X. Hoping to rebuild connections in the #typedesign #graphicdesign and #author worlds. Am I up for yet another social platform? We'll see.
