“In fiction, unspeakable things are defanged.”

Fragment from a delightful evening with Torrey Peters and Lilly Wachowski. 💉❤️‍🔥
Two black-clad women sit before microphones. One (Torrey Peters) reads from a book entitled STAG DANCE. The other (Lilly Wachowski) chuckles appreciatively.

Yesterday’s excess of coffee + news meant I didn’t sleep much last night. On the plus side I’m at the top of my lorem ipsum game
A screenshot of a footnote that contains gibberish words: “O eccentious perdor! O queneau pollintious! O ottor flumpen! Unwrendish. Forbippous. Moldineau.”

This weekend ruled
Five local writers stand before aquamarine streamers Detail from a terracotta funeral urn depicting a worldly baby lounging alongside a large ram Two people stand before the entrance to Rosehill cemetery. One steeples their hands around the other’s cheeks in an attempt to warm them. Lake Michigan at dusk. A single wave rolls in.

Welp, still no Torrey Peters or Karen Russell, but a solid haul nevertheless.
Four library books fanned out on an old-fashioned radiator. The titles are: Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner Trust Exercise by Susan Choi What You Make of Me by Sophie Madeline Dess One Day, Everyone Will Have Been Against This by Omar El Akkad

Of all the new habits I’ve developed over the past year, recording my daily bird sightings has to be the nerdiest
My hand holding a light green journal featuring a watercolor rendering of a bird and the words DAILY CHIRPS Two recent entries in my bird journal. The Lesser Scaup is flagged with two stars because today’s sighting (of two females) was my first!

Some good shapes
Early morning sun over Lake Michigan. The tide has created a ribbed pattern in the sand, and contrails quarter the sky.
