I have a six year old, and I'm utterly haunted by this. By how Liam and other children are being treated. CHILDREN.
my son is five, same age as Liam Ramos. you don't need to have a child the same age to be fucking horrified by the violence we are doing (and HAVE BEEN doing) upon immigrant children in this nation. but that he keeps asking for his spidey backpack is the kind of detail that rips my heart in two.

We have the No Jiji drawers with baby magnet locks. He used to test them out multiple times a day like a little velociraptor hoping to get bacon grease if someone forgot to latch it correctly.

Just finished a spectacularly great urban fantasy called Slayers of Old by @jimchines.com. I hope it’s going to be a series because I want more. Action and magic and a cat with tentacles. And other things with tentacles. But really fun. Go grab a copy now.

Three days later and almost all my plants are in their proper soil blends. About 32 out of 40? Not bad even considering the few unpleasant surprises found along the way. The *many* Hoyas are already so much more perky.

Fun fact: one year on @jococruise.bsky.social there was a dessert based on my infamous Valentine's Day burrito. Their version was actually terrific, made as it was by actual chefs.

Really good read
Wrote something about Baker Street last night. Thanks to @emilyoram.bsky.social for the (unintentional) reminder to get this written.

There are many reasons why Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty means so much to me, and none of them are particularly healthy.

Everybody and their monkey's uncle has a theory about mass market paperbacks.
Once far outstripping every other format - a 4:1 ratio at its peak - the 4.25" x 7" paperback sold millions of copies, not just of Louis L'Amour, but of journalism, science, movie tie-ins, and more.
So what happened? 🧵
