I love a folkloric protector of children.
If you're a good little child, maybe Grandpa Argle will rise from the swamp on Arglemas and bring you what you truly need. If so, you'd best read "Grandpa and the Ghosts", by @ray-is-writing.bsky.social, in this month's issue.
Grandpa and the Ghosts - Small Wonders
There was no Grandpa Argle waiting at the end of the pier to listen to eager children’s dreams. No one tunneled through the planet's crust with magic Drill Moles on Arglemas Night. It didn’t matter how well she behaved; no one was going to grant her wish.

As a headsup for anyone on Vyvanse, you should go check your lot numbers.

It's not a visit home unless I read the mail. Done. Great timing, grandma got a mail-in request for blood and urine sample (we are ignoring bc she goes to the doc for that). At least it was not the stool colon cancer check!

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

If one of the appliances in your home, say your cooker or fridge, ran using ten times the power of a normal one, you‘d replace it as fast as possible and never go near that manufacturer again, because you’d think they were catastrophically bad at making stuff.
But it’d be cool if it talked, right?

I'm in the quiet before I leave Viable Paradise and Martha's Vineyard. I completed all dawn walks and made 24+ friends, critiqued and been critiqued, completed the Horror that is Thursday (tm). Taken so many pages of illegible notes. I can't wait to see what our cohort does next.

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.
