On the power of Humpy
From the linked article: “In the middle of the 15th inning, having already performed the second seventh-inning stretch, they re-run the salmon race. There's always one mascot that never wins. They let him win. It's like the opposite of sacrifice, a redemption without sin. More than that: It was a rejection of the chaos of baseball, a declaration that things can be scripted, that they can work out.They worked out. It was not because of Humpy, but you can believe it was if you want. Art lets you write the stories you want.”

I’m still riding high from last night. My first playoff game, incredible stadium energy, and then to get the W (against Skubal!) was just so cool. Very grateful I got to be there.

Didn’t think I needed another Greek myth retelling in my life, but I can admit when I’m wrong. Tongues by Anders Nilsen is worth seeking out. 💙📚
Small portion of a from the book. An imprisoned god says to his jailor and companion, an eagle: “Language is a hard thing to get ahold of by its own means. Like a hand trying to grasp itself.”

Stellar UK book mail day. You know I couldn’t wait around for an eventual US release of Bora Chung’s Red Sword (trans. Anton Hur). Plus, I’m a big fan of @honfordstar.bsky.social so it was an easy choice. 💙📚
Five books splayed out on a blanket: A Thousand Blues by Cheon Seon-ran, translated by Chi-Young Kim; Red Sword by Bora Chung, translated by Anton Hur; and three books from the Penguin Weird Fiction Series, including An Anthology; The House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodgson; and Claimed! by Gertrude Barrows Bennett.

He’s not just at odds with the Council, but with WASHINGTON STATE LAW. And the clown thinks he gets to determine if a law is “constitutional”.
Excerpt from the article: The resolution would commit the county to fully complying with the Keep Washington Working Act, a bipartisan state law passed in 2019 that determined a person’s immigration status isn’t a matter for police action. The law was intended to give immigrants and refugees confidence that going to work or calling police for help in an emergency wouldn’t land them in the custody of federal immigration enforcement.

Quote from the article: "Every time [researchers] are in the field or looking at specimens, they just keep finding these exceptions," Velocci says. Scientists "have seen over, and over, and over, and over, that sex is clearly not binary."

Three books from Wakefield Press: The Tower of a love by Rachilde, translated by Jennifer Hughes; Cruise of Shadows by Jean Ray, translated by Scott Nicolay; Vacated Landscape by Jean Lahougue, translated by K.E. Gormley. Book covers all give a moody, creepy vibe.
