Here’s what’s making us happy this week.
It was a dark one out there, friends. But we at Lit Hub made it through this week on tides of nostalgia, inspirational icons, and seasonal fruit. I, Brittany Allen, report from St. Louis this Frida…

In a way, you are poetry material; You are full of cloudy subtleties I am willing to spend a lifetime figuring out. Words burst in your essence and you carry their dust in the pores of your ethereal individuality.

HEY. Remember to create something just for you today. A doodle, a drink, a meal, a song. Not for sale, not for hustle, just for you.

Let's make "Ma'am this is a map store" into the positive counterpart to "Sir this is a Wendy's"
A mom just came in SO EXCITED to find a map store bc her son would LOVE it.
She tries to be coy. "My son is... Really into maps. Real special kid."
I'm like, ma'am, this is a map store. Half my customers are on the spectrum. I have a trains and transit section. You're among friends.

I’m still in my “disassociation is self care” mode. But contemplating other ways of being after the darkest night of the year. Found this wisdom map helpful.

Hotter take: supporting and engaging AI tools with the full awareness that doing so gives men like this the power to control and suppress knowledge economies is not an inevitability, but an active choice.

The best part of my day so far was making this poster 🤣
The incredible @annamicucci.bsky.social made this poster of me and a friend trying to pack my standup paddle board last night. At 10 pm. 2 beers in each. Before the movers got here this morning. A poster for a hypothetical batshit HGTV show around my absurd attempts at moving.
