There's a point, around the age of twenty, when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities.

Permit me a little maudlin gushing. I can’t tell you how good for the soul caring for animals is for me. The animals in question don’t even have to like me or acknowledge me, but spending time feeding and caring about something matters.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

50 years ago, today, a whale exploded on an Oregon beach. 20 years later, before social media or video sharing sights or smartphones, it would become the first viral Internet video.
We sent it to each other in the mail.

Everybody talks about “kill your darlings” in writing, and sure it can be good advice, but you know what else rules about writing? You can put anything you want in there? Sword fighting? Newts? Ghengis khan reanimated by sentient guinea worms? You can put whatever you want, nobody can stop you?
