Well, the rabbit's out of the PM bag! I have a lot of thoughts on what it means at last to be fulfilling the dream I've nurtured since I was 7 years old, but for right now I'm afraid all I have for you is the mental image of me flapping in a circle while I shout, I'M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!
I actually said, "What? No!" out loud. (And then did the math. And was disturbed.)
The difference in time between now and I can has cheezburger

Newspaper clipping from April 28, 1993.
In Hirase Village (Gifu Prefecture) a tanuki and fox were found passed out together after drinking 2 cups of sake left out as an offering to the gods.
A local snapped this photo several hours before the pair woke up and staggered back into the forest.

Here in the Bay Area, even the sky is celebrating all the wins of last night, raining down on the earth so that new things can grow.

I have to say, I’ve always thought Daylight Savings Time was stupid, but I’ve never felt so personally victimized by it as I do as the mother of a 4-month-old.

Happy 100th birthday to the Yamanote train line---my favorite train line! Throwback to the time a friend and I walked the entire loop in a day as a way of seeing Tokyo.

The view out my bedroom window. I may have been unable to do the decorating, cooking, and party this year that I usually do...but I don't think the ghosts are bothered.

I've never heard the birds so loud as they are at this moment outside my window, having a Halloween party of their own.

The pumpkins are trying on their candles tonight, readying for the big day, and here in the Rose-Teter/Limaye household, we're eating dinner out on the deck, bathing in ocean fog.

I always appreciate when someone is able to put into words something I've felt but been unable to explain. In this case? What it means for a book to be "literary fiction" (vs upmarket vs commercial), and why it has nothing to do with quality. devonhalliday.substack.com/p/my-literar...

Reading my 4-month-old a board book: "'Black boots are a hiding place...' Now what do we call the repetition of consonant sounds? Black boots, black boots... That's right! Alliteration!"

I can't remember the last time a news article brought me such pure joy. Possibly my favorite quotation: "His wife would not be watching from the shore, he said, because she is sick of hearing him talk about pumpkins."

I have three different mutuals whose profile pictures are of their respective tuxedo cats, and I get such a giggle out of whenever they like the same posts (often!) and my notifications just look like I'm chatting with a bunch of cats ^.^

Perhaps you've heard me talk about how much I love my GP (the kindest, most understanding doctor I've ever known, whom I think of as Dr. Ophelia after he, upon learning my love of Shakespeare, told me he once played the part and then left the exam room tossing imaginary flowers and quoting her)...

Every once in a while I feel a little adrift—until I remember to check the extremely normal covers of My Life, My Way, a Japanese gay magazine published from 1977-1982.
