The Court ruling today is terrible but expected. I will just gently remind everyone that the election hasn’t happened yet. We shouldn’t assume the worst outcome as a foregone conclusion. That only encourages more apathy than many are already feeling.

I’ve been trying to despair less and act more, especially offline, but man, it’s impossible right now to feel anything but sorrow and fear. We must fight, build, and organize like never before, but goddamn is this such a sad, sad day.

SCOTUS is telling us that it has completely signed on to the project of a second Trump administration, which is establishing an elected autocracy.

My nephews (10 and 6) told me I was always skeptical, to which I replied, “I don’t know if that’s true.” Fell right into their trap.

You know you’re feeling more confident about your manuscript when you can let your spouse read it in front of you without wanting to crawl out of your skin

Don’t cling too closely to habits of how and when you write as your life changes over time. Writing demands time and sustained attention, so it’s important to remain flexible when it comes to your creative process if you want your writing to survive and thrive. Also: thank your editors.

Facebook just reminded me that 15 years ago I drove to Chicago with my dad and tried out for American Idol. We all contain multitudes, each and every one of us.

Another piece from me on the video game that got me through late-night parenting the last few months - "Midnight Suns and my midnight son" on what it means to be a good parent. As my spouse put it - "I love that this game thinks you are morally corrupt as a parent for empathizing with Lillith"

New Backlog from @walshbr.bsky.social! Yes, I did accept this one immediately upon reading the title. Read Brandon’s reflection on his new relation to parental narratives and what it means to be “good.”
