i don't want to think about "politics" right now, so I started a basketball Substack. My first post is about how Joe Mazzulla is a Satanist using dark magic to win at hoops. Consider subscribing if you enjoy the WNBA and/or NBA.

3 reasons i'm writing books instead of raising children:
1) books are cheaper
2) books are quieter
3) books will never steal my car, drive to Boise, stab a cop, join a sex cult, nearly die, find Jesus, start a tech company, and donate their earnings to whoever our next fascist ruler is.

i hate the phrase “kill your darlings.”
i love my ugly little darlings.
i cultivate these mangy fuckers.
i give them sun, water, gasoline.
grow them up big and strong.
now all my work is one huge, sexy darling.
if you don’t like it, i don’t care.
it’s not your darling.
it’s mine.

we talk about literacy. we talk about attention spans. but how are young people supposed to pay attention with the constant threat of gun violence haunting the backs of their minds.

I don’t know what is less American: suppressing freedom of expression or turning down free money.

State anti-book-ban law leads some school districts to forsake grants to maintain local control
