Real etiquette question: even if sending grateful fan mail and your address is public, is it more polite and respectful to send through a publisher or agent or some such intermediary?

Still early into this but there’s this melancholic nostalgia that I find unique to PA that’s really captured here.

Ew. I remember that from 7th/8th grade and was very happy to have buried that memory until now.

Ah, hearing about the same thing from my musical idols and my 15 year old son. What a weird world

This is it precisely I think. There are terrible downsides to LLMs (environment, copyright, etc) but some people in some use cases do get utility from them. I’m in tech and we do see productivity gains in some areas of coding. This is absolutely not a blanket endorsement

ADHD diag at 45. Wanted to know more about myself. Also to contextualize my memories of childhood and difficulties I have as an adult. Very good at school and college so never had to study or work hard. Really left me unprepared for actual adulthood

Taking mild exception to 3 as it was just two weeks ago that I was shouting at 15’s case manager that her idea for making him feel included in PE was actually the worst idea I’ve ever heard.
In my defense, idea was for an asst teacher to be his permanent activity partner for group activities.

Why are democrats seemingly unable to meet the moment. When Republicans opposed Obama and Biden, they stymied many efforts. Our congressional leaders seem to be rolling over.

In a world where every day I’m surprised by some absolute bugfuckery from Trump or DOGE, I’m delighted to be surprised to learn this today.
