Virginia Woolf, more than a hundred years ago:

Plague ravages the land, a false Pope is poised to take control, and a mad King's insanity threatens a stable kingdom. France in 1370 or the US in 2026?

I don't need a summary of what's available online, in biographies, or even in my own notes. I need to comb through and find the great details, decide what interests ME. No, it's not efficient. It's slow and painstaking. But I don't believe in efficiency as an ultimate good, especially in writing. /

thoughts on today:

1) the protests are good, actually

2) you should go to one of you can

3) it will do you good to see how many other people also hate this guy

4) you might meet people who you can organize with

5) there are more of us than there are of them

6) we are going to win

Excited for #Wondercon tomorrow! Would love to meet up with other writers/creators - let me know if you'll be around!

A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty

Finding God at the Brooklyn Museum The Ancient Egyptian “Book of the Dead” turned me into a believer. We talked to the curators and conservators to learn how it came to be.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

Truly so delighted by Strip Law! I had to pause Episode 3 because I couldn't stop laughing - just hysterical work. Congrats to the whole team!!

fantastic interview with Tony Kushner. read.

A black and white screenshot from NEWSIES of Robert Duvall as Joseph Pulitzer. He's sitting in a chair in an ornate office. He's a white man with a beard wearing a suit and smoking a cigar. Behind him stands Christian Bale as Jack Kelly, a white teen in more raggedy looking clothing. Jack has his hands in his pocket and is glaring at Pulitzer, who is looking away from him.

RIP Robert Duvall, thank you for teaching me at a very young age how terrible rich people are for workers

Whistleblower Says Radioactive Fracking Waste Site Melted His Jaw. Now There’s an Elementary School There. Then an elementary school was built on top of it.

For decades, Texas let drillers spread staggering amounts of radioactive and PFAS-ridden waste on the fringes of the nation’s fourth largest metro area — while making it virtually impossible for the public to know where.

Absolutely fucking insane story from @saulelbein.bsky.social today

Building the camps The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Once again here to tap the mic and say Texas is a gerrymandered, voter repressed state, not a "red" state. And every one of you celebrating the (significant) win in Tarrant County better not be the same people in my mentions saying to throw the whole South away. There are good people fighting.

a man in a suit and white shirt says now we 're cooking Alt: A gray-haired man in a suit and bluish-white shirt (Harrison Ford as Paul in "Shrinking") says, "Now we're cooking."

Shrinking is back!! Check out the first episode of S3 today! <3

Loved your book - thank you for sharing this!

You aren't actually overreacting other people are sleepwalking.
