Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread
My hand holding a shortbread cookie in the shape of an airplane. There are red sprinkles in the pattern of the survivorship bias plane. A plate of the same cookies.

We all need an occasional reminder, so listen up. Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.

This song is a tribute to the 80s. No, not that 80s, the other 80s. Also, Riki Lindhome is a weird genius who should never change.

beach scene under an early morning sky of pleasing light blue scarred with affectionate by long scraps of clouds: the fade of manicured grass with a suggestion of frost unrolls from the lower right, interrupted by a line of tight tufted yellowing grass like spikey upright straw, this grass itself bordered by a line of solid black rocks, merging in a wandering way with the sand beyond, center of photi... and beyond that, more distant, the strip of sea mirroring the blue sky, with a timeless, frozen quality... and within this other world of water Haystack Rock rises with a pleasing rounded form, framed by a blushing sunrise of pinkish gray, a strip of gold dividing pink from the blue of the rest of the sky
