Writers! Today is the last day to submit to Peatsmoke Journal’s Summer Contest! Bring it on!

lol-saw this @nytimes.com ad shortly after watching a couple wrestle a Shibumi for 30 mins, change its location 3x, exchange words such as “it was fine the way it was before,” walk away from each other in annoyance, say “I hate the Shibumi,” and finally just leave the beach.

An insane and relentless bird woke me up at 5 am and I …. reached for my Merlin app to find out WTF it was. I feel like I have officially entered my birdwatching era. Also, listening to the recording, it was obviously an insomniac turkey

Vogue article asking whether Gen X is the coolest generation like how is this even a question

Yes, and that’s unbelievably petty. But also part of a larger problem where people don’t respect what others want to be called, have their names spelled, etc etc

I need to get up

This is only partly about Meagan Sussex. This is about a general lack of respect for how people want to be referred to. It’s not about you and whether you agree or find it “hard” or whatever excuse

@nymag.com Meghan Sussex has recently and publicly reiterated her correct name. Why do you disrespect her by not using it?

Mayyyyyybe? Also hooray for new novel!!

This is the thing I have a hard time wrapping my head around. You have one precious life and you’re going to spend it going out of your way to make other people suffer?
