spending an hour on the phone to various NHS departments trying to track down a lost set of blood test results wasn’t how i intended to spend my morning, but finally managed to speak to a nice neurology secretary who thinks she can send them to my GP. all praise to her, may her pillow always be cool

This one came out before the election and…you know. Anyway, it got some amazing nods—Stoker, Locus, glowing NYT review, NPR—but never took off. Seeing it getting love this week for being 100% boricua? Yeah…agradecido. Oh, and it’s on sale! Mil gracias. Much love.

there’s a kid in the primary school playground next door who keeps throwing half-eaten apples into our garden over the wall at a rate of one a day, & while i appreciate they’ve found an ingenious way to pretend they’ve eaten their fruit snack i feel like i’ve become their unwilling clean-up crew

"The dust had formed over him, covering him completely, giving him the form and face of Tom Halfpenny. It had carried the likeness here, all the way from Slew Hill ditch. 'Greot likes that kind of thing,' as my sister had said that morning. Watching, learning, recording, remembering."

i am never more hyper-aware of myself than when i, a slow walker, consciously slow down to let a fast walker behind me pass by and then realise they’ve slowed to match my pace from two steps behind instead of overtaking like i planned

Of all the easy things you can do to help the environment, conserve water for communities not corporations, not perpetuate scams, support the labor and rights of creators... *not* using generative AI is the fucking easiest. You absolutely deserve to be shamed for using it for image and text creation
