I reached my mom in the memory care unit today. She told me she was reading a two page book about [dad] and found it interesting. That would be the printed copy of the obit I wrote. Having some weird feels on this one, but I’m happy it triggered a memory, since it wasn’t bringing her down

OTD in 1974—as impeachment hearings against President Richard Nixon were well underway in the House Judiciary Committee—the Washington Post published this Herblock editorial cartoon. Ultimately, nearly every Republican in Congress backed the Constitution, causing Nixon to resign. Now, not so much.

Actually dumb question time. Poetry readers, how do you read a book of poetry? Do you read cover to cover in a sitting or two like I do for novels? One poem at a time over weeks? Do you skip around or read in order? I enjoy single poems, but I don’t read collections… though I certainly hoard them

The Cat™️ demonstrates the best way to spend a weekend day. Alas that I must work today, to keep her in the manner to which she is accustomed.

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

I have committed to going to HeroesCon, just on its Sunday instead of picking up a full weekend pass. This is in part because I am also going to (and volunteering at) my local Pride on Friday and Saturday of the same weekend, so good luck to future me on that Monday.

take the fictional characters quiz and post the first four you know: openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac... I mean, I guess. These feel more like reflections of who I was at about the same age as the characters, than anything revelatory about me now.

The Republican budget means more Americans will lose health care coverage than the entire population of North Carolina. All so Republicans can give tax breaks to their billionaire donors. abcnews.go.com/Politics/wir...

I’m trying to read this ARC, and I’m genuinely frustrated that the author is conflating her fake Y2k-adjacent job with Y2K bug itself being fake/a nonissue. Averting it was actually a cool cooperative success!

a friendly reminder never to buy your books from Amazon, where they are used as a loss leader so that you'll buy a flatscreen TV and your toilet paper instead-- and then use that money to send Katy Perry to space. Books aren't just products. They're culture. Buy them from those who understand that.
