This series was formative in my life. I love this post.
Not an exaggeration to say I'm both a writer and an English teacher b/c of Lloyd Alexander. My 4th grade teacher read to us from The Book of Three every day after lunch, and I was hooked. I wrote to him that year, and he not only replied, he took a 9-year-old's question seriously. (More in alt text)

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)
As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

I found a NASA document that is a history of wake-up songs played for astronauts since the Gemini missions. It’s not complete, but includes songs played to Skylab, the ISS, and to Sojourner and Spirit on Mars. I am beside myself. 1/2

ADHD. ... [abbreviated opening to fit alt-text box]
The graveyard of half-finished projects on my computer hard drive rolled over when I agreed to write this chapter. Your day will come, I assure them. I'm just waiting for the perfect weekend in which I have no obligations and wake up inspired to write one of those data sets into a paper! When that happens, the draft pours forth in a satisfying frenzy of emphatically loud typing. Unstoppable. Is there any difference between a paper written in eight straight hours based on data that sat untouched for two years and steady and deliberate progress on a project over the same period of time? To the journal reader, no. To the spouse, friend, or coworker witnessing the hyperfocus wormhole, absolutely. What magic! Not a researcher, but a machine! Perhaps coveting dazzling efficiency. To me, guilt covers neglected ideas as green biofilm, thicker and slimier each time I remember having forgotten and still lack the motivation needed to open the file and start. No matter what gets finished, I do not feel prolific or even celebratory—I have poor object permanence. In press may as well be in a closed drawer or cabinet: as good as forgotten.
I can’t imagine spending a career studying one highly specific topic. I get bored. Or rather, I get distracted—I have variable attention (see Bertilsdotter Rosqvist et al., 2023a, 2023b; Hallowell & Ratey, 2021). What is as tantalizing as a new idea? It can make planning difficult. The proposal flows almost effortlessly. Data gathering is intoxicating—the only true novel information that exists in the world. As I said in middle school: science class was a misnomer—it, too, taught history. But where does one find the motivation to transcribe and code after conducting an interview? To revamp a rejected paper and reformat it for submitting to a new journal? There are so many steps between revelation and dissemination, each one treading through quicksand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fb3royociml6n3ku2l2vs2hd/bafkreiadrnfctffwcpmzbesqect6f632rkjnadh6ljq6dmdxykhgdll3py@jpeg)

By wearing that jersey, this magnificent hero must be planning to break the Leafs’ curse with the power of a Game 7 win by the Jays. That crazy sonuvabitch. (Cue internal screaming)
A wild choice from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as he arrives at the Rogers Centre in a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey.
Clearly some thinking behind it — but not exactly the Game 7 history you want to be replicating tonight.
Just four hours away now.
