My wonderful family got me one of the birdfeeders-with-a-camera for my birthday last month and I finally set it up. I like it! But didn’t quite realize I was getting in the business of weirdly threatening bird notifications.

Some people were wondering, but yes, that’s a real dog and he is very soft. Seriously, this museum needs a World Fantasy award or a best related work Hugo.

I know this is an old thought, but I came across this brilliant Octavia Butler poem again today, and I felt a fresh wave of grief that our president and his staff are cowards, fools, thieves, liars, AND tyrants, and what their awfulness is doing to us in turn.

I have experienced a curious mix of feelings while having a significant portion of my life’s work in books and the art of my friends distorted and vandalized by post-literate fascists for the last few years. The feelings right now are uniquely awful.

North Carolina’s Atrium Health says it will forgive the debts of 11,500 people — less than a week after NBC News reported that the company has aggressively pursued former patients’ medical debts, placing liens on their homes to collect on bills.
'Like a miracle': N.C. couple free of nearly $100,000 medical debt after 15 years
The lien on Donna and Gary Lindabury's home for a 2009 heart surgery debt was among 11,500 wiped away by Atrium Health after an NBC News report.
