I read, most often on Dish with One Spoon lands. Poetry, books, newspapers, internets, cereal boxes. Palimpsests! Reading can be better than life. he/him
@hodgman.bsky.social Listening to the Kentucky E Pluribus Motto episode, and had a thought—if you and Janet do visit us up north (perhaps a boco possibility?), what about a play on our motto? ‘A mari usque ad mare’ could become “A mari usque ad motto”!

@kenwhite.bsky.social kudos! While I knew what you meant by hauberk, I dunno that I’d have been able to pull that word instantly to my tongue!

One of Canada’s sagest public figures, Bob Rae is absolutely correct. We are now in the fight of our lives, and not just Canada. What’s left of the free world.

I don’t have good ideas for @helenzaltzman.bsky.social‘s conjectured Roller Derby name, but it seems like “Rolly Mann” is just sitting there for @ollymann.bsky.social

Pek’s novel follows Claudia Lin as she starts working for a company that, well, verifies the truth of what’s shared on online dating profiles. Soon she’s trying to unpack a deeper mystery. Light but not slight, it’s a deeply fun read! Thanks to @maris.bsky.social ‘s Substack for the recommendation.
