"This is my art and it is dangerous."
My husband drilled a piece of wood he was holding in his hand (for an art project) and drilled a hole in his fingers. This was while wearing a T-shirt that said “art can’t hurt you.”

THE INCANDESCENT has been out in the world for one whole week!
Do you like magic school? Jokes? Books about intelligent adults who know what they’re doing?
Consider Saffy Walden, who is not a chaos bisexual, thank you. She’s a highly competent career focused bisexual.

THE INCANDESCENT is a book about money and education and status symbols, about loving your career, about demons, about magic, about fantasy school - but most of all about how 'school' is always a kind of fantasy. Available now!

I wrote almost the entirety of the first draft of this book listening to the TAZ Amnesty soundtrack. I've dusted it off for editing draft 10 and am pleased to find that TAZ could still stand for The AmInTheWriting Zone. (Also Interstellar Blues comes at the 30 min mark—good for timing breaks) #taz

I just think it’s hilarious that people went to college with the Pope. “What’s Ken up to these days? Partner at a law firm outside Pittsburgh, that’s nice. And Bob? Oh, he’s the Pope.”

Bunch shows how it is done.
The way he points out what the EO *legally* does (directs the VP, acting as just one of many regents) vs what it claims to do (“change the Smithsonian!”—something POTUS can’t do) is fantastic.
We need more of this, less ppl taking EOs as law.

“As always, our work will be shaped by the best scholarship, free of partisanship, to help the American public better understand our nation’s history, challenges and trumphs.”
