You Can’t “Fix It in Post.” You’re a Writer Why your obsession with Hollywood is standing between you and a finished book.

The movie in your head is the finished cake. The book on your laptop is a bag of flour with an egg shell stuck in it.

MY BRAIN HAS A MICHELIN STAR When the words you read, speak, or even think land on your tongue as actual tastes, cooking and eating become something else entirely

The word “synesthesia” comes from the Greek: syn (together) and aisthesis (sensation).

Death, it turns out, has had a very particular relationship with me. Not the kind where it takes me.

Every Action Movie Is a Documentary About a World Where Physics Resigned Fifteen airtight pieces of evidence that Hollywood has been making it up as they go, and we have been nodding along like well-trained golden retrievers

Fifteen things movies insist are real that are, to put it in scientific terms, complete and total garbage.

Why We’d Rather Die Than Say Hello The elevator is 80 square feet of shared humanity but we’ve all decided to act like it’s a dentist’s waiting room.

That’s the actual cost of our elevator silence pact: sometimes the people who most need someone to step in get nothing but strangers looking at their shoes.

What the Fork Did This Menu Just Say Husband & wife lung slices, burned cuttlefish monsters, and the quietly heroic people paid to translate what cooks actually mean.

Paperback cover for A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities That Arise in Disaster by Rebecca Solnit. The background is a hazy, golden-orange landscape that suggests the smoke of a distant fire over a dark, silhouetted hillside. The title is written in large, white serif font. A quote at the top from Bill McKibben praises it as an "optimistic account of human nature," next to a silver New York Times Notable Book sticker. This specific copy rests on a velvet backing inside a glass display case in the hallway outside the Bancroft Library. Part of the "Bay Area Prophets" literary installation curated by Chloe.

“Many events plant seeds, imperceptible at the time, that bear fruit long afterward.”
- A Paradise Built in Hell by Rebecca Solnit

Today we talk about what happens when the State plants that seed.
