Heading to DC for the week because my mom broke her ankle and it needs surgery. Trying to remember the last time there wasn't some new urgent thing cropping up and interrupting whatever work is on my docket...March? Maybe March.

Reunited

Heading home and there's a little dog in a bag next to me on the train so you know, things are bad but there's still some joy in this bleak world

she is home!! and I am on a train to philadelphia to do a panel and them come right back home because I could not back out of it!! extremely not hyped to do this lol

Kitty surgery update: the surgery went well, she is recovering, we will be transferring her to an overnight facility for monitoring later today

haha I called my congressman's office to ask him to join the call for a cease fire and nearly started crying! (Dan Goldman was literally in Israel the weekend of 10/7 and has posted his extremely uh anti-cease fire position online, so didn't have much hope of persuading but fuck's sake man)

things have been very bleak and it feels like i'm mostly just trying to stay alive rather than stay hopeful

Making up lyrics to the Evangelion theme song but they're just about my dog

pedagogy of the compressed.zip

ethnostates are a bad idea that produce horrific outcomes for everyone and it's weird that a bunch of people make an exception for exactly one

is it a covid headache or a stress headache, who can say lol

there's never a great time to get covid, but now is certainly not ideal (symptoms mild so far but just a lot on top of a generally stressful time)

https://buttondown.email/perfectsentences/archive/perfect-sentences-41/ this week in sentences: soil, vertigo, a strange bird, less interested, barista, beloved Silver Lady, eager to outlive

@mattblaze @osgav gonna see if I can get Melville House to add this as a blurb to their web page for the book
